    The driver is the most important person in the vehicle. Nissan understands the driver need to have the most room and be the most comfortable. The lives of the other passengers are in the drivers hands.

      I bought the 2022 pathfinder after taking back my deposit with kia. It's just my wife and I we love the better gas mileage a recent 3 hour trip with ac and music on blast got 29.4MPG. Kia was not worth the price increase for all the 2nd and 3rd row when we will only use it once or twice a a year.

    Just bought the new Nissan pathfinder Platinum. I test drove the Kia telluride... but here in Florida Kia is charging $18,000 over MSRP because they say that they have the top SUV. Making it approximately $68,000 - $72,000 for the top trim, I say Kia can keep their Telluride. This is my 3rd pathfinder and I LOVE IT!

      When I was looking at the Toyota sienna and the Kia carnival in Wilmington North Carolina, the Carnaval Dealer wanted six and $10,000 above MSRP for the Kia carnival van. I believe they were asking almost 15,000 over MSRP for the Telluride. I think it’s horrible and completely unjustified.

    To paraphrase a comment attributed to Mark Twain about himself, "The reports of (Nissan's) death have been greatly exaggerated." And one of the advantages of being late to a party is that you get a chance to see what everyone else is wearing. It's clear that Nissan benchmarked the Telluride in the design and features of the new Pathfinder. It may not be the earthshaking vehicle that the Telluride has been but it's clearly a credible contestant and superior to a number of other rivals.
    Andrea, the reason the Pathfinder's hood is so long is that it's an approach used by auto designers, especially those who design sports cars, for nearly a century. to suggest potency and performance even though it sacrifices interior space. If you wonder why, check with Sigmund Freud.

    • @samayganhar
      @samayganhar 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Mr G My point is for some 5.10-5.11 pathfinder provides adequate leg room, although less that Telluride. However, much better headroom compared than Telluride. So, for me it’s more practical choice than Telluride; adequate leg room and adequate headroom, compared to great leg room and cramped headroom in Telluride. I would prefer a bit less legroom over my head touching the top.

    Zach is definitely leaning Telluride! It's better looking, more refined, more spacious, more powerful, better tuned transmission, longer warranty, a better overall package and likely better resale value. The Pathfinder has the nice digital cockpit in higher trims, more towing capability and better overall color choices inside and out especially with the two tone black roof option with many colors. Telluride still leads the way but given it's huge popularity in the U.S. in particular you may not got a good deal especially now with the "chip shortage crisis" and the back log of customers orders particularly for the EX and SX trims. Love to see the Telluride compared to the new Jeep Grand Cherokee L at similar pricing. Maybe The Telluride SX-P vs the GCL Limited/Overland! Great comparison guys!

    Both of these vehicles offer so many features and accouterments that it makes it a tough choice. The Telluride is a better designed vehicle in my opinion. I prefer the exterior styling more on the Telluride compared to the new Pathfinder. The Pathfinder has a nicer instrumentation cluster and I also like the dashboard layout more than the Telluride. Both of these utilities offer a lot. It's nice to see Nissan coming out with solid competition, but I think the Telluride will find more customers and be the better seller.

    Not sure what’s happening in Canada, but here in Oregon dealer markup is adding 6 or 7 grand to the MSRP of the Kia. Meanwhile, some Nissan dealers I sold it it ( are offering a couple of thousand discount. That results in $50k versus $42k for similarly trimmed vehicles. Im going with the Pathfinder. Oh, and I’ve had 2 Pathfinders and an Xterra which were all totally reliable. One had 330k when we traded it.

Compare to the 22 version, the 23pathfinder got smoother start, but auto off is such a nightmare, have to turn off everytime is kind of boring. 2things i think pathfinder win telluride, first is the new IIHS side impact test resaults, you can see the second row side airbag help to protect 2nd row passanger. second thing is pathfinder have some robber protecter under the door frame, which place i got a lot of snow deposit on my CRV. 2 good things i think telluride have and pathfinder should improve are the side view camera when you flash turn signal, and the larger cargo lenth after 3rd row up.just a inch longer comon! i like the looks of pathfinder, maybe because im getting old.

    I like the direction Nissan is going. While everyone applaud Pathfinder going from CVT into ZF 9 AT. This ZF 9AT has iffy quality problems, from what we have witnessed in both FCA and Honda/Acura. The jerking problem has been well documented of this transmission. I hope ZF has addressed the quality issue with Pathfinder's execution. Its also the reason why Honda Passport is a slow seller, other than the HondaLink infotainment class action in the States.

    Great comparison. Shopping for 3 row suv to replace my 2014 Acura MDX. Looked at the Acura and I can't get over the clumsy infotainment system and shifter, although it does drive nice and provides more of a luxury feel. Also, looked at the Grand Cherokee L which has great styling and good towing ability. Seems like the Pathfinder fits in between the Telluride and Grand Cherokee L with respect to towing and being a little more rugged. The only thing I don't like with the Grand Cherokee L is the price but it kind of provides a little bit more capability and the interior feels a little more high end. Will you be reviewing the Grand Cherokee L soon, as it would be good to see how it stacks up against these?

    • @MIZUNOMP60
      @MIZUNOMP60 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly in the same boat, test drove Telluride (overall liked it) and waiting to test GCL Overland trim. Never owned a Jeep product so a bit hesitant with regard to reliability. For the money Jeep could have upped the warranty. I'm drawn to the more capable, rugged look of the Jeep especially in higher trims with the air ride suspension but I also like the look of the Telluride. I think the Telluride's V6 might pull it's weight around better than the (heavier)Jeep's V6. The Jeep's powerful 5.7L V8 would be enticing but you kina get killed on fuel economy (17mpg combined..yikes!). A V6 Turbo would have been about right for the longer and heavier Jeep. The Grand Cherokee L's covers a lot of price points with six trims but you still have to add pricey packages to get all the goodies. You're 10-15 grand over a Telluride SX-P to get a loaded Jeep Grand Cherokee L Overland or Summit. The Jeep is about 8 inches longer but has less passenger volume. The longer hood maybe to accommodate the Hemi V8. A comparison between them would answer a lot of questions like driving dynamics, seat comfort, cargo and passenger space ,power on the highway, maneuverability, infotainment responsiveness, features and layout, value for money etc. etc. Hopefully Zach and Andrea get a chance to review Jeep's new 3 row SUV ;-)

Also most models come standard with the towing hitch which is handy for a proper bikerack.

      I strongly disagree! The Infiniti QX60 has more technology/features (many which aren't available for the Kia Telluride), along with a more upscale interior with better material quality throughout.
      Furthermore, vehicle "demand" based on popularity doesn't always equate to overall sales which is why the Telluride is currently 12th place in the midsized SUV class despite it's newfound hype.

    The Pathfinder seems more comparable to the Highlander , Pilot, and Sorento. Telluride is much more of a luxury suv than any of those.

    I don't have a horse in this race but, I can't help thinking about all the engine and gas tank explosions Kia and Hyundai are well known for. Huge recalls and press on these two issues everywhere. I think these have to factor into the equation when comparing vehicles. I think Nissan has a far better reputation when it comes to reliability than either of the two Korean brands. If I had to choose between the Pathfinder or Telluride, I would choose the Pathfinder. I prefer a vehicle that isn't going to kill me when I accelerate.

    Telluride and Palisade pricing is extremely misleading and reviewers dont say this. US dealers add a Markup of $5k to $8k or 8 months waiting period in lieu of and the Korean twins are not a good bargain anymore. The price is now in luxury 3 row SUV range and they have to be compared against 2022 Aviator, MDX and QX60. Those waiting 8+ months for a Telluride probably dont need it and those paying a premium are buying into the hype.

    • @Yeabuddy720
      @Yeabuddy720 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The HP and Torque are just part of the equation when it comes to towing. The correcting gearing is a major one, also how the frame is built and weight is distributed throughout the vehicle

    Pathfinder can tow 6000lbs and has 600lbs hitch weight. Telluride towing weight is 5000lbs. Who cares about screen size, how big do you need these screens to be, all you read is radio stations and maybe a map once in a while.

    The main driving reason for economy size small cars is the cost of fuel to operate. EVs will not have that issue and motor vehicles will become human sized again. Remember the land yachts of the 60s and 70s.

    • @Bartonovich52
      @Bartonovich52 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah. I remember.
      And the king of them all.. a 1975 Lincoln Mk V… has less front and rear head and legroom and less cargo space than my 2018 Honda Civic hatchback. Also slower top speed and acceleration. And fewer creature comforts.
      Don’t believe me… go look up the brochures and see for your self.
      When you have an engine literally five times as large (7.5L vs 1.5L) mounted longitudinally with a huge transmission tunnel, drive shaft hump, live rear axle, and a fuel tank to feed that massive engine… there isn’t a lot of room for people. They also made those land yachts longer than they had to be, which is why they downsized so easily in the late 70s. There was a lot of empty space in the fins and beaks that were ahead of the fan and radiator and behind the trunk.

    I can appreciate the Datsun HardBody tribute accents. Well done them. But the only way that I would consider the Pathfinder over the Telluride would be... if Nissan’s ‘Nismo’ design team sprinkles their magic over it. The clear winner for my money would be Kia. Thanks for another great comparison video guys.

    I recently drove both cars top trims. I enjoyed driving Nissan more than Telluride. I am not sure about the hype of Telluride... I don't like the driving. I know, the space overall is little more on Telluride but as an average height person.. i found Nissan has enough comfort room. Oh, Telluride has noisy cabin when you accelerate the gas. It was annoying for me vs Nissan is very quiet (may be it has thicker glass).

  • @nicksdroid63

    its all going to come down to ride on the Pathfinder. The KIA has WAAAAYYYY too much road noise. Its a lot louder on the highway than the Pilot we have. The Pilot is pure hatred around town. The trans is horrible, the ride is horrible, the infotainment is the worst. My 2008 4runner has a better Nav and I still dont know how it works. Your trip will be over by the time the Pilot goes from AM to FM.

    Seems like nobody can dethrone the Kia. Because at the end of the day, it gives you more for less. Like the man says, everything seems to be better. As for towing? Who cares if the capacity is 1500lbs more? How often are you really towing? If you have a giant boat, then go with a Yukon or Durango. But give Nissan props for trying. I have their 14 Pathfinder. Remember this: At one time, the Pathfinder was rugged and was meant for off-road. It rode like a truck and looked like one too. But most weren't using their SUVs for off road, so in 2013, they changed it to unibody and they sold a ton. Moms liked it. Because it's still a "Pathfinder" even though in reality it was more of a "Mallfinder". Now they switched it back. So at what point, will they go back to a car like ride? In 15 years?

    • @duchoang7856
