Yeah but trust me, i put my kid 4ever car seat in the seat and hit the button and you barely get enough room to enter the back unless they children. You can only fit 2 car seats in the back (and not next to eachother). Unless you got Booster seats you wont get 3 car seats in the back and with 2 on each side youll never be able to drop the 3rd row. Thats why i need a SUV w a big trunk like the Escalade ESV, Wagoneer or Minivan.
I was on a mission to buy a Telluride SX Prestige and never once thought about a Pathfinder until I went to test drive the Platinum Edition... let's just say, I own a Pathfinder Platinum now 😆
We wanted a telluride, but they were virtually non existent in our area, also looked at the Sorento, but it felt a little cramped. Boy am I glad we held out for this new Pathfinder! Absolutely top notch, couldn't be happier!

Plus, with everyone and their 5th cousin getting a Telluride, it's nice to have something a little different than the majority.
@@MizzouRah78 well we were looking at the telluride for the space. Its my wife and I our three girls, but we have have any number of our nieces and nephews. I also coach youth sports, so the pathfinder definitely delivers on space and accommodations (we got the bench middle row instead of captains chairs). It's a great ride and gets excellent mileage for such size of a vehicle. Very agile, and maneuverable, and of course I off road wherever possible and especially dodging waiting traffic. Plenty of storage all over the truck, not to mention how aesthetically pleasing it is. Its really just a well designed and thought out vehicle. Everything we were looking for in the telluride we got in spades with the pathfinder. We've had it for about 18 months and still get hella compliments daily. (All black everything, and it wasn't an extra charge like the telluride nightfall package is). Sidenote, I was at our dealership 2 weeks ago, and saw a white platinum with the pecan interior, my God was it beautiful 😍 If you're still looking, grab a pathfinder and don't look back. Also, the new infinity qx60 is built on the same platform/chassis and is also quite the looker with great interior, Essentially an upgraded pathfinder.

I live in Southern California and every dealer is charging a 10k market adjustment over MSRP on higher trim Tellurides. It’s unreasonable to pay that much for a non-luxury brand SUV.
Exactly, same reason we ended up buying a 2020 Palisade instead. Hyundai dealers were much more willing to deal at the time.

@@coolyjavon591 Yes, I know why they are charging more than MSRP (hence why I referred to "market adjustment"). And you do realize you aren't saying anything right? EVERY car has standard features. But maybe you mean more standard features.

So I'm guessing by PC, you were going to comment about Korean vs Japanese car makers? If so, IMO, neither are Japanese cars what they used to be (not as good - we've always owned at least one since the mid 80s) nor are Korean cars (better now - son drives a 2020 Kia). That said, if features, specs and price were equal, I still prefer Japanese cars, feel they are better made.
Better ride quality in pathfinder for sure. Telluride looks better in videos but pathfinder especially two tone pearl white looks better. Especially if you black out v motion rims.
@@bradleyscarreviews and you're definitely a kia fan. I saw a platinum pathfinder on the road and it looked more modern and nicer looking than the kia but looks are subjective anyway
Between Yesterday and today I put on over 400 miles on SL with the Premium package. Up to 580 miles on it. Had a blast taking our time on a covered bridge route then coming back to NJ through Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania. Enjoy!
@ClassicFIHD mine has 240 miles on it and I'll put another 150 tomorrow when I drive back home. I'm enjoying it too. Enjoy yours, my fellow pathfinder owner
got the Platinum 4X2 2 tone black over red with Saddle interior 2 weeks ago and it is unreal. So many features! Definitely a looker! Ride is pristine and cant wait to try out the Tow capabilities. We made the right choice in choosing this over the Telluride!
@@TheKasai23 with the Tow select switch engaged, pulling my Pontoon (1500 lbs) and Trailer (750 lbs) will be no problem. And the other option is all wheel drive not 4 wheel. Huge difference! Read up on it.
How is your AC working..? Do u live where it gets Hotter then 90 degrees..? FYI: I test drove a 2022 Pathfinder SL 4WD here in Central Texas where it was 100 degrees on 7.29.21.. the reason I wanted to test drive one was to see how the AC worked because I saw a few reviews that said the AC didn't get cold enough...and they were RIGHT...The AC did NOT get cold enough IN THE 100 degree weather .. I had the AC set to recycle the air from the inside air with AC button pressed and had it set to the lowest setting which was 60 degrees and the air did not feel crisp enough and would get warmer when u slowed down ,I also un pressed the AC button and that did not help..I own a 2015 Pathfinder SV and the air gets colder in it when I have it set to 70 degrees with the air being recycle from the inside air and the AC button is not pressed..Needless to say I was disappointed..matter of fact we help my mother in law buy a Nissan 2021 Kick last week and the AC gets colder then the New 2022 Pathfinder..Nissan please fix...Here in Texas if the AC isn't cold enough then nothing else matters with all the other new features...I definitely recommend testing one out on a HOT day before buying one..
Loving my Pathfinder 2022. I traded the 2019 Pathfinder for the SL 2022, and I must say, even though I currently work from home, I find myself always wanna go for a drive lol.... You really need to get used to the Driver Assist features and you would love it, especially the stop and go traffic with combined Navilink. This thing would slow the speed for you in corners, now that's amazing.
I hadn't considered getting a three row SUV until it got hard driving four grandkids in two vehicles. I've had my 2024 Pathfinder for two weeks and we're very happy.
Love the Telluride, but Nissan updated the Pathfinder very well. I’d still go with the Kia but I’ve got nothing bad to say about the Pathfinder either, they’re both very good.
I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 224,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.
My brother just traded in a 00' infiniti G20 (which is tech a Nissan). My mom still has her 07' G35x and is told to hold onto it when takes it in for service. Granted only has 70k miles but sometimes that is worse for car for is short, city driving.
@6:20 !!!! I knew it was strange that Nissan put the door handle dead center of the door! When he grabs it, he grabs the handle where it should, missing its central location
Makes it easier for kids to grab the handles. It seems Nissan really focused on the kid-friendliness of the pathfinder. You can also keep a child seat in place and still get into the third row. Something the Telluride can't do. Also, the placement of the buttons to move the seat is located low, again easier for kids to reach to get into the back.
One of the advantages of coming late to a party is that you get a chance to see what everyone else is wearing. Obviously, Nissan benchmarked the Telluride and is wearing much the same outfit. And if it doesn't top or even quite equal the KIA that hit the 3 row SUV marketplace like an earthquake it appears to be a credible competitor. And that's quite an achievement considering that the last model wouldn't have even made it past the doorkeeper at the party.
For those three row mid-size SUVs, I'd like they can have a three seat second row, after all the third row is for children or small sized adults, so if you have five people on the trip one person has to sit in the third row, so the experience will be worse than sitting in the second row of a compact SUV.
Traverse has that as a chevy fan it's beautiful on outside towing is great drives great its powerful but it's lacking on the interior come on Chevy step up your game
...negotiate? Use sites like Edmunds or car gurus or autobytel, etc. To get actual market price or excellent price and work from there. These dealers aren't a Saturn dealership or the grocery store, so negotiating should be expected. A reasonable offer on your part versus low balling will/should make the dealer highly consider it...however, if demand is high, like it is on the telluride, asking MSRP or a bit over is not unheard of. Worst case is paying MSRP, never over, but your target should be below MSRP. Also try to negotiate on accessories or packages...happy hunting
@@K03sport funny you say that. Used Tellurides are selling for over MSRP all over the country. You cant ever say the same about any luxury brand! Audi, bmw, benz. They all lose a ton of value in the first 3 years. The Telluride is killing it on every level! ;)
Good effort from Nissan, but Telluride definite winner for me. No clue why Kia hasn’t put a hybrid or plug in hybrid in the Carnival or Telluride though
Hi guys can someone explain why all of the 3row suv top of the line model only comes with captain seats in the second and not benched seats. It’s a doomer you have to get lower model with less features and not share looks as the top of the line.
Pathfinder Rock Creek vs Pathfinder base SL In my opinion the Rock Creek is the best looking Pathfinder model. And because of the suspension tuning and tires, it is the most capable Pathfinder model. It has some features and options like tow hitch, fog lamps, cargo liner, thick roof rack, rear captains chair, heated front seats, remote start, and off road tires that not even higher trim models have standard. But, it lacks a lot of other feature and options that make the Pathfinder more luxurious like heated steering wheel, power lift gate, power front passenger seat, full leather seats, wireless charging pad, I found the base model SL had more of those options than the Rock Creek and cost only few thosand more with discount. The SL also has a softer and quieter ride than the Rock Creek. Because the Rock Creek has off road tires, it is more rugged and more suitable for driving on rougher roads. Ultimatelty I decided to buy the SL for daily comfort and more features. The Rock Creek is actually a comfortable and quiet ride despite the off road tires, but the SL was more quiet and more comfortable. Both are just as capable off road but the SL has dress shoes tires and the Rock Creek has on hiking shoes tires.
@@trent7080 Consumer reports describes Nissan reliability this way: "Of the major Japanese brands, Nissan has the most inconsistent product line." of the Nissan models covered by CR, the Pathfinder has had the worst reliability record of all Nissan's going back to 2012. Like I said, not discussing brand and model reliability is a weakness with Edmunds and other reviews. It's easy to fall in love with a new car. However, reliability does matter, at least for those of us who don't work for a dealership.
To all the folks buying the 2022 Kia Telluride, please take care of my future vehicle. I will be buying it once your lease ends in 3 years. Thanks for taking the initial depreciation hit as well!
I can. You can't even get a Telluride. I've tried to look at 3 and they sold before I got to the dealership. I priced a fully loaded Sorento ($43k) and the payments were going to be the same as the fully loaded Pathfinder ($48k). I'm not $5k over. I'm sure Nissan will mark the Pathfinder up to once they see they can't keep them in stock. That's why I am buying one now.
@@DJMontePGH I had to book mine weeks before first one came and no choice in color just trim to get one first. Luckily I got a nice color. You can't get Kia not because of demand but because their Georgia factory keeps shutting down because of lack of components. Japanese manufacturers have better supply chains and in the case of Toyota, back up chips. Just in time manufacturing to cut cost is bitting Kia in the ass. The Sorento felt like a cheaper vehicle and smaller than the Pathfinder imho it is worth the 5K increase. I've gotten about 3-4 hours driving Sorento before I purchased Pathfinder. I only drove pathfinder for 30mins because I knew im sold.
@@bradleyscarreviews Honestly, the Telluride has the nice orange square but it looks like it has a fat ass and a skinny top. The car just looks funny in the streets and in the show room, but on a video it looks great.
KIA gives you a 10 yr power train warranty and 5 yr bumper to bumper. Nissan gives you 5 yr power train and 3 yr bumper to bumper. If Nissan is better, why not stand behind your product? Because it’s inferior. Nissan is rated #22 on JD Power 2021 vehicle dependability study. KIA is #3.
@@mattspeer01 That’s just a stupid comment. I used to lease a 2013 Altima, I went over the miles on the lease and my brother bought it out. It has 100,000 miles now and it’s still fine. When in comparison my sister had a 2013 Hyundai Elantra, The engine and transmission had major problems before 60,000 miles and the whole car was just completely on its last leg by 90,000 miles. Quit spreading BS.
Just bought a pathfinder the first time I started looking for this, while I went to two kia dealerships and walk right out after the outrageous markups. Glad I bought my pathfinder. The rear taillights look beautiful than the Telluride
Two best looking three row SUVs. Great job Nissan. The Grand Cherokee L is so bad compared to these. Pilot and Highlander need be redesigned to compete with these two.
There’s a key difference in the adaptive cruise controls. You can turn off the ACC in the Pathfinder and not in the Telluride. That’s why we bought the Pathfinder.
Something that's not clear to me, even after speaking with a rep at the Nissan factory, is they claim the S model only has a 3500 lb towing capacity, and the SV and above have the 6000 lb capacity. Yet the engines and transmission are the same across all models. The SV premium pkg adds the transmission cooler, but that does not add towing capacity, and even without that premium pkg, the SV will tow 6000. So what's the answer to this one?!
@@jaehocho9718 yes, that's true, I bought the sv with premium pkg and it has 6,000 lb tow. But the question is why, cause it has the same engine and transmission as the s model?
@@jaehocho9718 no, I talked with my mechanic and he said a transmission cooler doesn't add towing capacity, only adds life to the transmission. So that's not it.
@@ReachingOut22 you won’t get the best towing capacity from a front wheel drive. All pathfinder trims offer front wheel or 4wd. Since you have the 4wd model you have a rear diff which means better towing
After owning a Hyundai for 6 years, I would never buy another one. Apparently the guys Who work on them don’t have to have any degrees, they can just walk in and take a test and if they pass they’re a Hyundai technician. Which makes sense because I would say at least 7/10 times there was a problem fixed. I trade it in my Hyundai for a Nissan.

@@HermanHerrera did you really just bring up JD power?? LMFAO, that shows you know nothing about cars. JD a power is an advertising company not real world reviews. Kia/Hyundai’s need a 10 year warranty because it’s junk. I will give you the perfect examples: My grandmother has a 2013 Elantra with 94,000 miles that she’s selling to Carmax tomorrow because it’s absolutely falling apart from the ground up and Half the time they never took care of anything under warranty. My Aunt has a 2014 Nissan Altima with 103,000 miles and it still runs and drives like new and she’s never spent a penny and repairs.
Telluride is so much roomier inside, even though it is shorter overall. Telluride gives you 42 inches of 2nd row legroom, 31 inches of 3rd row legroom, and 21 cu-ft of cargo space behind the 3rd row at 196.9 inches long. The Pathfinder gives you 35 inches of 2nd row legroom, 28 inches of 3rd row legroom, and 16 cu-ft of storage space behind the 3rd row at 197.7 inches long. Pathetic effort on Nissan's part. Not only is the Telluride roomier, it is way more luxurious, more reliable, has a much longer warranty, has better driver assist tech, looks better both inside and outside, and will have far better resale due to the desirability.
Pathfinder it is. Would never by a kia hyundai after their numerous recalls for engine failures/ fires and brake oil leaks. The VQ engine in the pathfinder is well proven and sounds fantastic too plus the ZF auto is bullet proof.
The Pathfinder is all new? No. It's the same platform as the previous model with a different transmission (no CVT) and improved looks with upgraded mechanicals. It's not all new.
Love em. I love seeing these SUVs dominate the market. I'm a nissan/Infiniti fanatic. The Bose speakers and acceleration do it for me. As much as I'm a fan, outside of those 2 things, kia is whoopin everyone's asses when it comes to features. They have an intercom for the driver to speak to the passengers so that everyone can hear each other better. AN INTERCOM... And have y'all seen the dash in a telluride?! Nissan usually pits itself against Toyota but they may have a new war against Kia to take more seriously over Toyota
I can't find a telluride near me and given the new redesign that excited me. I figured I could get good value over a Palisade, Telluride, or highlander that are immensely popular and therfore overpriced because of their popularity. I like to go with underdogs that still provide value while people over pay for other brands. The problem is the Pathfinder falls short in quality and reliability. Consumer reports continues to rate Pathfinder a 1 out of 5 for reliability, that's just unacceptable. I'm currently leasing a frontier pro 4x, but some of the things consumer reports said were issues with the Pathfinder I'm starting to see in the pro 4x... The right window is slow to go up (which is absolutely pathetic given that it has less than 10k miles on it!!!). Also CR reported infotainment screen issues, going blank, not turning on always. I'm dealing with EXACTLY that on my pro 4x, again pathetic with under 10k miles on it. This concludes me that the new Nissan is just not what it once was, quality has fallen immensely. I won't be renewing my lease or getting into a pathfinder as a result. It's too bad cause this review almost had me, but based on my research, I'm steering clear of Nissan until I see improvements in quality and reliability.
Kia/Hyundai are still considered lower tier brands compared to the Japanese’ brands despite their improvements. And I don’t think I’m ready to spend that much for a Kia.
True. I watched another channel and it was saying to test the A/C of the Pathfinder on hot weather. It had a hard time cooling. As usually advised to wait it out a year or two before buying a newly introduced model.
I have been a Nissan user since I became able to drive, my parents got nothing but Nissans even going back to the pulsar, but my wife wants a third kid and damn that telluride is just calling my name coming from the rogue rather than a pathfinder
The telluride is a clear winner no one has dethroned and it yet, but let’s also remember the Honda Pilot is getting a new body for 2023 and the pilot is the blue print for the telluride.
Same transmission zf transmission used in Range Rover and modified version of same engine they have been using for 20 years. Imho it will hold up better than telluride.
I feel like Nissan is buying so many comments. TBH I can't find that many advantages from the pathfinder compare to the korean twins to convince me to go for it.
As with all other Nissan vehicles, the Pathfinder will have better availability and discounts than Kia. Nissan is a big mass production company and they cut prices like crazy, I've seen crazy low offers on the Murano, Altima and Sentra cars. Kia and Hyundai have been very greedy when it comes to negotiating prices, very low stock for both Palisade and Telluride. I don't see too many Telluride/Palisades on the streets here in NJ, not sure why but I think it will be much easier and affordable to get a Pathfinder down the road(maybe first year it will be expensive though).
Would you rather have the Telluride or the Pathfinder?
Dang answering that question is now much more difficult to make.

@@wbwayne8887 Do you know why they have markups? Well if not it's probably because they're so popular They have no choice but to raise the price to get more money
@@coolyjavon591
It just guaranteed I would never buy one. Apparently plenty of people do though. I will never even pay MSRP for ANY vehicle. That said though, if the seating capacity suited me for a DD, I would have definitely payed MSRP and early adopted a C8.

I agree, I was shocked (no pun intended) that Ford priced the base Maverick as low as they did, and that it was a hybrid with a targeted 40mpg rating.
Pathfinder all day.
I'll be PC and keep my comment to myself.
How come?
So I'm guessing by PC, you were going to comment about Korean vs Japanese car makers? If so, IMO, neither are Japanese cars what they used to be (not as good - we've always owned at least one since the mid 80s) nor are Korean cars (better now - son drives a 2020 Kia). That said, if features, specs and price were equal, I still prefer Japanese cars, feel they are better made.
Better ride quality in pathfinder for sure. Telluride looks better in videos but pathfinder especially two tone pearl white looks better. Especially if you black out v motion rims.
@@lSeKToRl your definitely a pathfinder fan.
@@bradleyscarreviews and you're definitely a kia fan. I saw a platinum pathfinder on the road and it looked more modern and nicer looking than the kia but looks are subjective anyway
Nissan should have made the engine at 300HP/300 Pd ft of Torque to be a leader in the segment.
Last week I bought the 2023 Pathfinder SL Premium 2-Tone Red with the Black Package. Loving it so far.
The design teams for both SUVs did an amazing job.
Telluride, not even a question for me.
I just bought a 2023 Nissan Pathfinder platinum, and I'm extremely happy with it.
Between Yesterday and today I put on over 400 miles on SL with the Premium package. Up to 580 miles on it. Had a blast taking our time on a covered bridge route then coming back to NJ through Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania. Enjoy!
@ClassicFIHD mine has 240 miles on it and I'll put another 150 tomorrow when I drive back home. I'm enjoying it too. Enjoy yours, my fellow pathfinder owner
got the Platinum 4X2 2 tone black over red with Saddle interior 2 weeks ago and it is unreal. So many features! Definitely a looker! Ride is pristine and cant wait to try out the Tow capabilities. We made the right choice in choosing this over the Telluride!
Same! Got the platinum and courted the telluride it felt old compared to sorento.
4x2 and you’re towing and that’s a better choice? Noted…🥴
@@TheKasai23 with the Tow select switch engaged, pulling my Pontoon (1500 lbs) and Trailer (750 lbs) will be no problem. And the other option is all wheel drive not 4 wheel. Huge difference! Read up on it.
How is your AC working..? Do u live where it gets Hotter then 90 degrees..?
FYI:
I test drove a 2022 Pathfinder SL 4WD here in Central Texas where it was 100 degrees on 7.29.21.. the reason I wanted to test drive one was to see how the AC worked because I saw a few reviews that said the AC didn't get cold enough...and they were RIGHT...The AC did NOT get cold enough IN THE 100 degree weather ..
I had the AC set to recycle the air from the inside air with AC button pressed and had it set to the lowest setting which was 60 degrees and the air did not feel crisp enough and would get warmer when u slowed down ,I also un pressed the AC button and that did not help..I own a 2015 Pathfinder SV and the air gets colder in it when I have it set to 70 degrees with the air being recycle from the inside air and the AC button is not pressed..Needless to say I was disappointed..matter of fact we help my mother in law buy a Nissan 2021 Kick last week and the AC gets colder then the New 2022 Pathfinder..Nissan please fix...Here in Texas if the AC isn't cold enough then nothing else matters with all the other new features...I definitely recommend testing one out on a HOT day before buying one..
@@markh8921 in Canada in the heat dome daily 90+ gonna hit 100 again in a few days AC works great. Cooled seats is good just not great.
Loving my Pathfinder 2022. I traded the 2019 Pathfinder for the SL 2022, and I must say, even though I currently work from home, I find myself always wanna go for a drive lol.... You really need to get used to the Driver Assist features and you would love it, especially the stop and go traffic with combined Navilink. This thing would slow the speed for you in corners, now that's amazing.
I have a 2019 PF! I'm debating between the PF, Palisade, & Telluride.
I hadn't considered getting a three row SUV until it got hard driving four grandkids in two vehicles. I've had my 2024 Pathfinder for two weeks and we're very happy.
I have to say, the new PF is the first Nissan SUV ( after the awesome Patrol GR from the 80s) I would consider.
All I know is, Nissan is having trouble keeping them in. They are selling well.
@@SneekyRafiki KIA in my area always has a few in stock, but I usually see S AWD models on the road.
Every dealership is struggling to keep cars in right now guys, it's called a chip shortage.
The Telluride's driving assist is surprising good. Nice to see Nissan competing this space.
The song at the end
Love the Telluride, but Nissan updated the Pathfinder very well. I’d still go with the Kia but I’ve got nothing bad to say about the Pathfinder either, they’re both very good.
A telluride is stretched 2012 sonata bro
I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 224,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.
Same with our 06 Sentra 2.0s.
My brother just traded in a 00' infiniti G20 (which is tech a Nissan). My mom still has her 07' G35x and is told to hold onto it when takes it in for service. Granted only has 70k miles but sometimes that is worse for car for is short, city driving.
Telluride interior and exterior just look so much better.
@6:20 !!!! I knew it was strange that Nissan put the door handle dead center of the door! When he grabs it, he grabs the handle where it should, missing its central location
Makes it easier for kids to grab the handles. It seems Nissan really focused on the kid-friendliness of the pathfinder. You can also keep a child seat in place and still get into the third row. Something the Telluride can't do. Also, the placement of the buttons to move the seat is located low, again easier for kids to reach to get into the back.
Our new pathfinder goes in for the spray on undercoating. Will also help dampen road noise which is very limited to begin with.
One of the advantages of coming late to a party is that you get a chance to see what everyone else is wearing. Obviously, Nissan benchmarked the Telluride and is wearing much the same outfit. And if it doesn't top or even quite equal the KIA that hit the 3 row SUV marketplace like an earthquake it appears to be a credible competitor. And that's quite an achievement considering that the last model wouldn't have even made it past the doorkeeper at the party.
For those three row mid-size SUVs, I'd like they can have a three seat second row, after all the third row is for children or small sized adults, so if you have five people on the trip one person has to sit in the third row, so the experience will be worse than sitting in the second row of a compact SUV.
Traverse has that as a chevy fan it's beautiful on outside towing is great drives great its powerful but it's lacking on the interior come on Chevy step up your game
Kia thinks it’s a luxury brand. Every dealer, has every Kia a “Market Adjustment” sorry, but no. 👎🏽 not for a depreciating asset.
...negotiate? Use sites like Edmunds or car gurus or autobytel, etc. To get actual market price or excellent price and work from there. These dealers aren't a Saturn dealership or the grocery store, so negotiating should be expected. A reasonable offer on your part versus low balling will/should make the dealer highly consider it...however, if demand is high, like it is on the telluride, asking MSRP or a bit over is not unheard of. Worst case is paying MSRP, never over, but your target should be below MSRP. Also try to negotiate on accessories or packages...happy hunting
@@K03sport funny you say that. Used Tellurides are selling for over MSRP all over the country. You cant ever say the same about any luxury brand! Audi, bmw, benz. They all lose a ton of value in the first 3 years. The Telluride is killing it on every level! ;)
Mine hasn't depreciated. I bought in 2019 for MSRP and some discounts through KIA. It's now worth more than I paid for it and I've had it 2.5 years.
@@atl3630 well we all can’t be that lucky.
@@K03sport I did! I negotiated. I get it. They want to make money. Just not mine. They can have it. Lol my interest rate was good thou.
Good effort from Nissan, but Telluride definite winner for me. No clue why Kia hasn’t put a hybrid or plug in hybrid in the Carnival or Telluride though
They might! The refresh is right around the corner
I believe it's on the way. Kia might give the Telluride the Santa Fe treatment for the refresh.
@@JT-fq2bl I think Hyundai would not let Kia take their Santa Fe front design for the Teluride? They might do it to the Palisade however
Hi guys can someone explain why all of the 3row suv top of the line model only comes with captain seats in the second and not benched seats. It’s a doomer you have to get lower model with less features and not share looks as the top of the line.
To compensate added weight of pano roof..otherwise it would affect mileage...
I just bought a pathfinder with bench second row seats. Platinum model.
Pathfinder Rock Creek vs Pathfinder base SL
In my opinion the Rock Creek is the best looking Pathfinder model. And because of the suspension tuning and tires, it is the most capable Pathfinder model. It has some features and options like tow hitch, fog lamps, cargo liner, thick roof rack, rear captains chair, heated front seats, remote start, and off road tires that not even higher trim models have standard. But, it lacks a lot of other feature and options that make the Pathfinder more luxurious like heated steering wheel, power lift gate, power front passenger seat, full leather seats, wireless charging pad, I found the base model SL had more of those options than the Rock Creek and cost only few thosand more with discount. The SL also has a softer and quieter ride than the Rock Creek. Because the Rock Creek has off road tires, it is more rugged and more suitable for driving on rougher roads. Ultimatelty I decided to buy the SL for daily comfort and more features. The Rock Creek is actually a comfortable and quiet ride despite the off road tires, but the SL was more quiet and more comfortable. Both are just as capable off road but the SL has dress shoes tires and the Rock Creek has on hiking shoes tires.

I'm pretty surprised by the number of comments for the Pathfinder. I can't imagine picking anything over the Telluride.
You can if you driven both. Fact that Telluride still doesn't have digital instrument cluster is sad.
I can. You can't even get a Telluride. I've tried to look at 3 and they sold before I got to the dealership. I priced a fully loaded Sorento ($43k) and the payments were going to be the same as the fully loaded Pathfinder ($48k).
I'm not $5k over. I'm sure Nissan will mark the Pathfinder up to once they see they can't keep them in stock. That's why I am buying one now.
@@DJMontePGH I had to book mine weeks before first one came and no choice in color just trim to get one first. Luckily I got a nice color. You can't get Kia not because of demand but because their Georgia factory keeps shutting down because of lack of components. Japanese manufacturers have better supply chains and in the case of Toyota, back up chips. Just in time manufacturing to cut cost is bitting Kia in the ass. The Sorento felt like a cheaper vehicle and smaller than the Pathfinder imho it is worth the 5K increase. I've gotten about 3-4 hours driving Sorento before I purchased Pathfinder. I only drove pathfinder for 30mins because I knew im sold.

Nissan's VQ engine alone win this whole competition already.
Something that's not clear to me, even after speaking with a rep at the Nissan factory, is they claim the S model only has a 3500 lb towing capacity, and the SV and above have the 6000 lb capacity. Yet the engines and transmission are the same across all models. The SV premium pkg adds the transmission cooler, but that does not add towing capacity, and even without that premium pkg, the SV will tow 6000. So what's the answer to this one?!

@@jaehocho9718 yes, that's true, I bought the sv with premium pkg and it has 6,000 lb tow. But the question is why, cause it has the same engine and transmission as the s model?

@@jaehocho9718 no, I talked with my mechanic and he said a transmission cooler doesn't add towing capacity, only adds life to the transmission. So that's not it.
@@ReachingOut22 you won’t get the best towing capacity from a front wheel drive. All pathfinder trims offer front wheel or 4wd.

Focus on reliability. In my opinion: If you lease, reliability doesnt matter. If you buy, Nissan is more reliable than those Korean Cars.
After owning a Hyundai for 6 years, I would never buy another one. Apparently the guys Who work on them don’t have to have any degrees, they can just walk in and take a test and if they pass they’re a Hyundai technician. Which makes sense because I would say at least 7/10 times there was a problem fixed. I trade it in my Hyundai for a Nissan.
Nissan for sure!!!!

@@HermanHerrera did you really just bring up JD power?? LMFAO, that shows you know nothing about cars. JD a power is an advertising company not real world reviews. Kia/Hyundai’s need a 10 year warranty because it’s junk. I will give you the perfect examples: My grandmother has a 2013 Elantra with 94,000 miles that she’s selling to Carmax tomorrow because it’s absolutely falling apart from the ground up and Half the time they never took care of anything under warranty. My Aunt has a 2014 Nissan Altima with 103,000 miles and it still runs and drives like new and she’s never spent a penny and repairs.
Telluride is so much roomier inside, even though it is shorter overall. Telluride gives you 42 inches of 2nd row legroom, 31 inches of 3rd row legroom, and 21 cu-ft of cargo space behind the 3rd row at 196.9 inches long. The Pathfinder gives you 35 inches of 2nd row legroom, 28 inches of 3rd row legroom, and 16 cu-ft of storage space behind the 3rd row at 197.7 inches long. Pathetic effort on Nissan's part. Not only is the Telluride roomier, it is way more luxurious, more reliable, has a much longer warranty, has better driver assist tech, looks better both inside and outside, and will have far better resale due to the desirability.
Kia has longer warranty than all manufacturers but noticed, you rarely see an old model Kia on the road. After a while folks ditch their Kia
And the Kia is $10k over sticker.

Pathfinder it is. Would never by a kia hyundai after their numerous recalls for engine failures/ fires and brake oil leaks. The VQ engine in the pathfinder is well proven and sounds fantastic too plus the ZF auto is bullet proof.

Love em. I love seeing these SUVs dominate the market. I'm a nissan/Infiniti fanatic. The Bose speakers and acceleration do it for me.
As much as I'm a fan, outside of those 2 things, kia is whoopin everyone's asses when it comes to features. They have an intercom for the driver to speak to the passengers so that everyone can hear each other better. AN INTERCOM... And have y'all seen the dash in a telluride?!
Nissan usually pits itself against Toyota but they may have a new war against Kia to take more seriously over Toyota
I really felt like this was an advertisement for the pathfinder but okay… 😂😂😂
I can't find a telluride near me and given the new redesign that excited me. I figured I could get good value over a Palisade, Telluride, or highlander that are immensely popular and therfore overpriced because of their popularity. I like to go with underdogs that still provide value while people over pay for other brands.
The problem is the Pathfinder falls short in quality and reliability. Consumer reports continues to rate Pathfinder a 1 out of 5 for reliability, that's just unacceptable. I'm currently leasing a frontier pro 4x, but some of the things consumer reports said were issues with the Pathfinder I'm starting to see in the pro 4x... The right window is slow to go up (which is absolutely pathetic given that it has less than 10k miles on it!!!). Also CR reported infotainment screen issues, going blank, not turning on always. I'm dealing with EXACTLY that on my pro 4x, again pathetic with under 10k miles on it.
This concludes me that the new Nissan is just not what it once was, quality has fallen immensely. I won't be renewing my lease or getting into a pathfinder as a result. It's too bad cause this review almost had me, but based on my research, I'm steering clear of Nissan until I see improvements in quality and reliability.
Kia/Hyundai are still considered lower tier brands compared to the Japanese’ brands despite their improvements. And I don’t think I’m ready to spend that much for a Kia.
exactly.
Couldnt agree more
Kia is still better, not impressed with the Nissan at all

The Nissan dealer I went to also had a $8500 markup on the 2022 Pathfinder (2WD platinum). :-(
SL w/Premium Package is a better deal than the Platinum.
As with all other Nissan vehicles, the Pathfinder will have better availability and discounts than Kia. Nissan is a big mass production company and they cut prices like crazy, I've seen crazy low offers on the Murano, Altima and Sentra cars. Kia and Hyundai have been very greedy when it comes to negotiating prices, very low stock for both Palisade and Telluride. I don't see too many Telluride/Palisades on the streets here in NJ, not sure why but I think it will be much easier and affordable to get a Pathfinder down the road(maybe first year it will be expensive though).
