Positive Review

"2022 Pathfinder"

Great to drive. I bought it when it first came out. I have the Platinum version. The zero gravity seats are very comfortable. I would recommend.


VS

Critical Review

"the 2025 pathfinder"

Besides the lack of power and noisy ride, I rented from enterprise as a "upgrade rental" the pathfinder revealed an UGLY feature that put me in a BAD position. Upon pulling up to drop off something at my work my wife left the car running and key fob INSIDE. The car then locked all the doors itself with no way to access without spare FOB. Good thing I didnt leave any animal inside .

Happy Rock Creeker

Better than the Competition !

I have owned most SUVs out there. Prior to the 2025 Pathfinder Rock Creek I own now , I had a New Chevy Tahoe , and a New Chevy Suburban , hard to beat those rides. When I bought the Pathfinder in 2023 I was leary of the mid sized and living up to what I had been driving for years. Well , the verdict came in quickly , Quiet , Roomy , plenty of head and leg room. Easy to navigate the controls. Nice stereo. Did I say Quiet ? Several people who have rode with me have said out nice this rode and were surprised by the quietness of the road noise - compares to the big Chevys. The Driver seat is wide , deep , and comfortable , have driven 10 plus hours without any pains or issues. The back seat captain chairs are nice with the center consule , easy in and out , plenty of leg room. The third row is smaller , good for kids or smaller adults , its ok , not like the Suburban , to be fair not in the same class. The storage in the back is nice once you put the third row down flat , I do not use the third row much and use the storage more , so it works out great. I use the Applecare and it works great for my needs for Nav , music , etc. The gas mileage is high teens around town and lower 20s on the highway. It handles great and has a nice turning radius. The engine gets up and goes with the nice V6 in it. To be fair , here are a couple things that I do not care for , not big deals , but I will talk about them. The trim in the cabin is silver and reflective , and when the sun hits it right it reflects which is not good. In fact , I put a dull black tape on the strip above the controls in the center , that made that issue go away , but its something I think Nissan should consider changing to any other color or non reflective. It does have the hesitation at times when you hit the gas , and you have to feather the peddle to keep it from doing that , that is at a dead stop , does not occur when up to speed and driving. It is something to be aware of if you are pulling in front of oncoming traffic. The Auto Stop they have installed is a pain. If you remember to hit the button next to the shifter and turn it off , it stops , until you turn it off and go again , then hit the button again. It turns off the engine to save gas I guess ? Cannot be good for the starter , so I push the button , no other fix I am aware of that disables that feature. Be careful when using the Cruise Control - All around Radar. It will yank you away from a preceived threat , car you passed , or switching lanes. Once you are aware of it , you are good , just be aware it may try to over protect you because of the rap around radar. Now the radar system in this veehicle is awesome , front and rear park assist is great , and the back up camera with the overhead view is great and makes it easy to park. It also has the lane change , blind spot indicators on the mirror that light up , and the vehicle will pull you away from the threat. One last thing , Leg room ! I am over 6 ft tall and I can straighten my lets out , plenty of room , and the head room is about eight inches above my head , shoulder room is great , no fighting over the arm rest , room for both ! The material in the Rock Creek is tough , will not cut or scratch easily. Ok , look at a Rock Creek , compare to the competition and you will be surprised like I was/

9 speed transmission is as bad as the CVT's.
Cons

Bad 9 Speed transmission

Sadly, I purchased a new 2024 Nissan Pathfinder at the North Charleston Nissan dealership in South Carolina and it was in the Summerville Nissan repair shop on three separate occasions for major transmissions repair. The Pathfinder was totally unable to go into Drive, Neutral or Reverse. First, they replaced the gear shifter and then a few door sensors. The service manager and technicians could NOT repair this major problem: he even drove it home on several occasions. Most importantly, my wife got stuck again in the Public's parking lot. I asked for a loaner after the third time in the shop, 12 days at the dealerships and the service manager said they don't do loaners. Wow, customer service at this dealership was terrible and certainly not accommodating for new customers. I had purchased several Nissans in the past and will NEVER purchase another one again. What happened to the lifetime power tran warranty that Nissan advertised when purchasing the vehicle??? Called Nissan HQ and that was a total waste of my time. The gentleman from HQ had a very difficult time communicating with me. In closing, I filed a major complaint with the BBB and hopefully they get back to me. Thank you, Steve P

2025 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum
Pros

Style Comfort Reliable V6

Cons

Dim interior lighting

So far it has been great. Since I have less than 1000 miles it would make more sense to discuss WHY I purchased this vehicle. Came from a 2015 QX60 Luxe. It gave me 125k trouble free miles so I am familiar with and trust Nissan products. Compared Pathfinder to current QX60 the Honda Pilot and the Kia Telluride. 2025 QX60 only has the VC Turbo 4cyl, also had more capacitive touch buttons on the center stack. I prefer more real buttons. Honda Pilot was pretty close, but on average was 4-5 thousand more than the Pathfinder - not worth the extra cost. Telluride is also nice but I felt the Pathfinder was more comfortable and looked nicer. More front legroom. I didn't hate or have issues with the Nissan CVT's but happier with the new ZF 9 speed in the Pathfinder. Looking forward to putting 100k plus miles on the new SUV and will report back if anything becomes disappointing!

The one they’re all imitating!
Pros

USEFULNESS!! Styling, dependability, versatility, beauty

Cons

None, really

Note: No compensation for this review, just my opinion. The 2025 Pathfinder, Rock Creek Edition, is THE standard for versatile SUV’s…it’s the one that’s great on gas (all things considered) exceeds all expectations (interior, exterior) can be rock crawling in the morning, at soccer practice in the afternoon and after a quick wash, beautiful enough to pull in front of The Bellagio’s valet parking, for all to see. With a 6,000 lb tow capacity, it tows more than most small trucks. The third row seating is VERY accessible and comfortable, unlike other SUV’s. The roof rack holds 200 lbs, NOT 50 lb’s like others, and the metallic paint job is beautiful. In the road, you can see other SUV’s trying to copy it, but no way, especially for this price. Currently, and just checked, the trade in value on mine is more than I paid for it a year ago. Try getting that on any other car, any other brand. All in all, very satisfied, Nissan hit a home run with this one!

I bought the suv new sharp looking blue suv dark wheels really nice interior. Drove it 3.5 yrs fairly good mileage with it. The highest I ever got was 29 mpg driving around 65 mph other than that it was around 23-24 on the highway enjoy the interior features and the driving features of it. Lotta safety stuff on it that I finally got used to as time went on. I found out that it could drive itself if I would just lay my arms in the steering wheel and it would go down the road by itself. It would follow the road perfectly Cons seats weren’t very comfortable. They could’ve done a better job of the seats in there. The passenger side was too low to the ground and I could not elevate that seat. Seats should of went back another 4 inches the stop and idle speed on it when I would put it in park the engine would rev up. I never understood that feature as I thought I was wasting more gas than saving.
