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.
