Even at highway speeds, the cabin remains quiet, with minimal wind noise. Controls are well thought out and ergonomically sensible. Our SL test car with several option packages came equipped with a great, matte black interior. The body stays pretty flat, even on windy roads, and its predictability inspires confidence.

The OG (1980’s, 1990’s) Pathfinder was a cool looking vehicle. With an all new 2022 design, Nissan fixed two serious problems with the old Pathfinder.
