Competitors include the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer and Chevrolet Traverse.

New for 2016

The 2016 Nissan Pathfinder sl beautiful car if you

December 15, 2022

By Richard Horvath from Wawarsing ny

Owns this car

This car is an excellent car it has everything you could want in a car. Now the price of this vehicle is ridiculously high considering the actual trade in value as soon as you purchase the vehicle is only between 9 and 11 thousand so if you don’t plan on keeping it until it dies I wouldn’t recommend it

Better Insulation for Nissan Vehicles.

April 7, 2022

By Njemile Weyni from Houston, TX

Owns this car

The only suggestion I have is that it does not give a quiet ride. I cannot drive and listen to the radio. I can't hear anything on the radio. so I turn it off. This is the fourth Nissan that I have owned, and the fact that Nissan's vehicles do not give a quiet ride is applicable to the other ones I have owned. I did not know the difference until I rode in my cousin's Cadillac Escalade

Disappointed in Nissan Pathfinder

March 7, 2022

By D Barker from Russell Ky

Owns this car

Hard to get in and out of. Bought used low mileage. First the cooling fans went bad at about 40,000 miles now the driver seat moves back and forth. From what I can understand the frame on the driver seat is a problem, with no recall issued. Not a recommended car to purchase.
