This Is The All-New 2022 Nissan Pathfinder - Fifth-Generation Model On Sale In Summer 2021

Scheduled to arrive in showrooms in the summer of 2021, this all-new fifth-generation 2022 Nissan Pathfinder seats up to eight for the first time, is stuffed full of technology, and now features a 6,000-pound towing capacity. 

It's been 35 years since the Pathfinder began turning heads, but in the second decade of a new millennium, SUV owners want even more. More comfort, more capability, more technology, more power – and they want all of that mixed in with the versatility and ruggedness of the original Pathfinder. 

So, Nissan delivers. The new Pathfinder offers available second-row captain's chairs, an eight-seat configuration that still allows space for four golf bags behind the rear row, and a 7-position Drive and Terrain Mode Selector. The Pathfinder is ready for any road with Standard, Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand, Mud/Rut, and Tow settings. There are beefier tires, too: 255mm for better grip in every circumstance.

The new Pathfinder will be powered by a 284-horsepower direct-injection V6. It's linked to an advanced 9-speed automatic that offers a wide ratio for better performance and better fuel economy. 

More highlights:

• • Behind the third row you can fit a 120-quart (114L) cooler. With the rear rows folded, the Pathfinder can swallow a 4x8 sheet of plywood.
• • Second-row seating includes EZ FLEX one-touch release.
• • There's acoustic laminated front glass, thicker glass in the second row, and more insulation so sound absorption is improved by 60%.
• • A 10-way power driver's seat is standard. So is tri-zone automatic climate control.
• • Standard tech includes Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Available is a 12.3 inch digital dashboard and a 9-inch touchscreen, plus Nissan's brilliant Around View Monitor. 13-speaker Bose audio is also available.
• • Nissan Safety Shield 360 – automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, auto high beams – is standard. So, too, is rear automatic braking, forward collision warning, intelligent driver alertness, blind spot intervention, intelligent lane intervention, rear door alert, and 10 airbags. 
• • ProPILOT Assist is sandard on even the entry-level S and SV upgrade models.
• • ProPILOT Assist with door-to-door navigation "can proactively reduce speed for upcoming freeway curves or junctions and also help the driver slow for freeway exits."
