2006 Nissan Pathfinder Road Test Ratings

Its clean and updated styling aren't quite enough to compensate for questionable materials choices and average comfort.

Adequate power and so-so brakes. Handling is merely competent.

Seats feel thin and the driving position is awkward. Ride comfort is OK, but the tires tend to roar.

Basic, simple and easy to use. The available third-row seat isn't receptive of adults.

A clean design, inside and out, but the interior material choices and execution are below expectations.
