Nissan Pathfinder (2013 - 2021) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I love my car. Its a great car that can be used for family and work, but I recommend Nissan to rethink about two things that might need to improve: *USB ports- My hand can barely fit in the space, its really small and became VERY difficult to connect the cable to charge an iPhone. *I also notice that when the streets are flooded, when you try to pass, enough to split some water from the rain, the motor is still working but the car doesnt move. All I can tell you is that this car was perfect for me and my family, and we love this car. We recommend anyone to buy this car. Jul 17, 2024

The 2020 Nissan Pathfinder has been commended for its spacious and well-designed interior. It comfortably accommodates seven passengers across three rows, with ample legroom and headroom for both front and rear occupants. The second row can slide and recline, enhancing passenger comfort. However, some reviewers have noted that the third row may be best suited for children or shorter adults due to limited legroom.Jul 07, 2023

I took a 2020 Pathfinder that I rented on a 2,500 mile road trip. Liked it so much that I bought a 2019 CPO used Pathfinder SL with the Premium package. I got 27mpg on the highway. Very comfortable and the 2nd row is very wide. No complaints from the 3 adult passengers in the 2nd row. The 3rd row is not really suited for adults on long rides but that’s true with most 3rd rows. Fold the 3rd row down and there’s plenty of room for your luggage and everything else. The ride is smooth and quiet enough. The CVT transmission doesn’t drone, it feels quite natural. It might be a little outdated but it served our needs very well. It’s not missing much. If you want apple play or android auto, it’s not available. There is some body roll and it’s not meant to be sporty but it can get up and go. There is a redesign coming for 2022 I believe. The only other suv I considered was the Toyota Highlander. I did shop them and took about 4 Highlanders out for a test drive. The Highlander has some issues that Toyota is aware of and isn’t fixing them. The Highlander is overpriced and I’ve had Toyota sales people tell me that. I’ve owned Toyota and Lexus vehicles for the past 10 years, I switched to Nissan. The Pathfinder (used) is on average about $5,000 less than a Highlander. Overall I would say it’s a good value. The Platinum trim isn’t worth the extra $3,000 or so over the SL. The main difference is ventilated seats and 20” wheels. There are other minor differences but they’re not worth the money to me. May 23, 2021

Great vehicle so far, no issues. I like the extra room over the Traverse and Acadia. It has more room in the cargo area than the Journey for sure, with the third row seat opened. I like the comfort and the driveability, it just seems smoother and more responsive. I like the power it has. So far a very nice vehicle. The steering wheel control layout makes sense and is easy to access. The navigation on the GM vehicles is a little easier to navigat through, but it may just take a little extra time to learn the Nissan layout. We were familiar with the GM system already. One small complaint, it does not have the digital speed readout. My wife got used to that on her Equinox. I liked it also, but the Pathfinder doesnt have it. Plenty of room to put it in there, but it doesnt have that feature.Apr 13, 2021

I love the features on my Nissan Pathfinder SL. This is the first time I had a vehicle with this many features. My favorite is being able to crank my truck from inside of the house. Love heated seats and steering wheel on cold days. Love the Navigation system and blind spot monitoring. Loving my vehicle. My vehicle is not missing anything in my eyes. Mar 24, 2021

The Pathfinder is not a street racer, but its a very comfortable highway cruiser that has no trouble handling hills. It has lots of interior room and excellent towing capacity (6,000 lbs.), largest in its class. The only thing holding me back from giving it a five-star rating is the lingering doubts about the CVT transmission. A technician at a Mercedez-Benz dealer (who has no irons in this fight) said that as long as you change the CVT fluid every 30,000 miles, the CVT should last a long time... but I still have some reservations. If Nissan could provide a decent warranty (or even an extra-cost extended warranty) that covered CVTs on their used cars, I would feel a lot better about it.Feb 29, 2020
