But how does it directly stack up against its competitors? Today, our Nissan dealership will compare the Pathfinder with the 2022 Honda Pilot and the 2022 Toyota 4Runner to see just how great of a vehicle the new Nissan is.

Under-the-Hood Evaluation
The 2022 Pathfinder packs the same 284-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine as older Nissan Pathfinder models but adds a new nine-speed automatic transmission, with all-wheel drive optional on all trims. The Honda Pilot, meanwhile, runs on a 280-horsepower V6 engine, and the Toyota 4Runner’s 270-horsepower V6 is outclassed by both. In terms of performance, the 2022 Pathfinder hits zero to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, while the Pilot does the same in 6.4 seconds and the slower 4Runner takes 7.7 seconds.

By comparison, the Pilot has an earned rating of 20 mpg in the city, 27 mpg on the highway, and 22 mpg overall; the 4Runner has a lowly 16 mpg in the city, 19 mpg on the highway, and 17 mpg overall.
