Expert 2019 Nissan Pathfinder review

our expert's take
Our expert's take
By Cars.com Editors

our expert's take

What Is the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder?

The Pathfinder is a roomy SUV with seating for seven in three rows. All models come with a 284-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine that teams with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available. Competitors include the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander.

What’s New on the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder?

Rear parking sensors and two USB type-C ports are now standard, and SV trim levels add adaptive cruise control and blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert. SL and Platinum models gain LED headlights.

What Features in the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder Are Most Important?

All models have standard automatic emergency braking, and all but the base S trim now have blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert. SL and Platinum models feature a 360-degree camera system. Nissan also gives shoppers the choice of front- or all-wheel drive on all versions, which also have a roomy, easily accessible third row.

Should I Buy the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder?

Despite several strong points, the Pathfinder competes with a flock of three-row SUVs that offer as much or more in the way of features. The Pathfinder also suffers from a loud engine and a rough ride that's unrefined compared with other SUVs. Moreover, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto still aren’t available.

    Disappointed Pathfinder Owner

    Our car is only a 2019 and I have had to tow it once because a false sensor was causing it not to start, I got a flat tire on the road because the tire sensor didn’t pop on until the tire was flat and now I have an issue with the rear differential coupling device which is not covered because I have $64,000 miles so just over the 60,000 mile mark and it will cost $2,300 to fix. I thought Nisdon’s were reliable which is why we bought this car and brand. I’m going back to Toyota where I can drive my car for 200,000 miles without any major issues.

    I Love My Pathfinder

    I bought my Pathfinder Nov. 2019, I've had no problem with the way the truck runs, smooth ride, the only problem I've is my backup camera doesn't always work, it's just a black screen, so I just judge my back my the sensor beeps. That's my only problem so it get a thumbs up from me.

    2019 Pathfinder SL Rock Creek Edition “Rocks”

    I’ve had the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder SL Rock Creek Special Edition since October 2019 and I’ve loved it since the day I bought it. The Rock Creek Edition’s design is unique, attractive, and allot of bang for my buck. It is perfectly powered, and has better tow capacity than the Explorer, Pilot, and almost every other vehicle in this class I compared. -Only complaints: No apple Carplay navigation is useless without a Sirius subscription and having map data chip updated. -Leg room is what you expect from a truck tight

    Great so far

    This SUV gets good mileage for a V6, is fairly quiet and comfortable. It comes with a lot of safety and convenience features. A lot of bang for the buck.

    Underrated in its class!

    Just bought my 2019 Nissan Pathfinder 4WD SL. I didn't get the premium package (Couldn't find one) in So Cal. It has the most room in its class, especially third row seating. 2nd row has plenty of seating with recline and sliding rails. Its very comfortable. The infotainment is dated and unfortunately there is no apple car play or android auto, but I can connect my phone fine (via bluetooth or cable). I listen to my favorite Spotify playlist the same. The 360 camera is awesome! Every angle is covered and you can change the view when you park or drive. Its my favorite part of the vehicle and really comes in handy. I have the auto liftgate, tow package, and it also comes with a 12v plug for the 2nd row passengers so you can actually just bring your normal house charger for your laptop if need be. You won't need a travel charger and you can plug other household items, what's cool is you can turn it off with a switch. It has heated front and rear seats so that is a plus for my kids! It has plenty of power. It isn't a race car but you can feel the torque when needed; by all means it isn't slow. I'm not a fan of CVT transmissions in general, however, it's alright in this vehicle. You don't feel it hunting for gears and it shifts pretty smooth. I actually forget that it is a CVT transmission, so that's a plus. Also, I find it really quiet in the cabin and the engine roar doesn't bother me. I have really nice looking LED / HID headlights and DRLs. It does come with fog lights but they are your regular halogens. So... I plan on getting LED bulbs for them and I think we are good. Overall great vehicle and value for the money. It looks stout from the front and feels firm, planted, and strong.

    I wanted something newer with a few extra features and lower miles than what I had. This vehicle fit the bill as it was 3 years newer and had cleaner look.

    This car checked all the boxes for comfort and style. Plenty of leg room from front to back. Lumbar support and several usb ports are a plus. Driving it is especially great in high traffic and rain. I love it!

    I third row is very small. The trunk is also too small when the third row is up. There is a significant blind spot on the driver’s side windshield frame. I have had too many close calls.
