Is the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder a good car?

Owners consistently praise the comfortable seating, spacious interior, smooth performance, and strong value for the price, especially with the tech features.

Is the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable in daily use, with comfortable seating, smooth performance, and strong value helping build confidence over time. The expert assessment also highlights the Pathfinder’s renewed capability and well-rounded character, which supports the impression that it is built to be a trustworthy family SUV. Nissan’s first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house, which helps reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that some drivers have noted transmission behaviour that can feel less polished than rivals.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Nissan Pathfinder?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The S, SV, SL, and Platinum trims differ most clearly in comfort and convenience equipment. Base models get cloth upholstery and standard eight-passenger seating, while higher trims add semi-aniline leather-appointed seats, and Platinum switches to second-row captain’s chairs for seven-passenger seating. A panoramic moonroof and roof rack are standard on SV and higher, and the top trim also adds a surround-view monitor and extra airbags.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.5-litre V6 with 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. In Canada, AWD is standard, and the setup includes hill descent control and seven drive and terrain modes. The transmission is smooth overall, though it can struggle to find the right gear at speed.
• Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard, with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, high-beam assist, rear automatic braking, driver alertness monitor, rear door alert, and forward-collision warning. Upper trims add a surround-view monitor, while Platinum gets an extra airbag.
• Infotainment: Standard equipment includes an 8-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, satellite radio, hands-free text messaging, and a 7-inch digital driver-information display. Upper trims upgrade to a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, door-to-door connected navigation, and NissanConnect Services, while Platinum adds a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument panel and a head-up display.
• Fuel efficiency: Fuel-consumption figures are not stated in the available data.

Which 2022 Nissan Pathfinder trim should I buy?

The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder is offered in 4 trim levels: S, SV, SL, and Platinum.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the entry point, but it still gives you standard AWD, the full Safety Shield 360 suite, an 8-inch touchscreen, and the core family-friendly layout. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and can live without the extra comfort and tech upgrades.
• SV: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a panoramic moonroof and roof rack while keeping the Pathfinder’s strong standard equipment list intact. If you want a more complete feel without jumping too far up the price ladder, this is the trim to focus on.
• SL: This trim brings semi-aniline leather-appointed seats and can be paired with an optional Premium package. It suits you if you want a more upscale cabin and are willing to pay for extra convenience and refinement.
• Platinum: This is the most luxurious version, with standard second-row captain’s chairs, a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument panel, a head-up display, a surround-view monitor, and the most airbags. Choose it if you want the most premium Pathfinder experience.

Upper trims get the surround-view monitor, while Platinum adds the most safety equipment.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Nissan Pathfinder?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 30.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 184 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.39% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $34,081 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder's resale value?

The current average of $34,161 CAD sits slightly below last year's $39,441 CAD.

That price movement suggests the Pathfinder has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can be helpful if you are buying now but less favourable if you plan to sell soon. If prices stay near the current average, future sellers may need to be realistic about competing against a fairly large pool of used inventory. The model’s broad appeal and strong equipment list should still help support demand, especially among shoppers looking for a well-equipped three-row SUV.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder safe?

The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder was not crash-tested by either IIHS or NHTSA.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on every Pathfinder, and it includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, high-beam assist, rear automatic braking, driver alertness monitor, rear door alert, and forward-collision warning. A rearview camera is standard, and upper trims add a surround-view monitor.

Should I buy a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 30.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.39% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Nissan brought back much of the Pathfinder’s classic capability and rugged styling for this year.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $38,861 CAD, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $34,161 CAD average.
• It adds the Rock Creek edition for a tougher, more rugged look.

The bottom line: The 2022 is the better pick if you want stronger value and a well-equipped Pathfinder without paying the newer-year premium. If you are willing to spend more for the Rock Creek edition and a slightly newer model year, the 2023 is worth a look.
