Not so Solid SUV

2019 Nissan Pathfinder S 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

Good SUV, very solid in heavy wind and rain in Florida. Got her for a great price, and what I lose in resale it makes up for in low maintenance costs. Headset for Bluetooth is a gem, people can actually hear me better in the car! Great place for a phone call meeting. The AC compressor is a little loud sometimes- actually ended up having the belts replaced and the bearing greased didn’t help. Nissan was going to replace the compressor. Also the tires that come on the base trim are not stellar- always squeeling the tires 😂 You won’t notice the CVT under most acceleration- only under very spirited driving. Also if it’s cold out it take a bit to warm up and fall into overdrive. I ended up getting rid of the vehicle for a Highlander. The infotainment went out 2 times and the software had to be reset- then it had to be replaced. The steering column- or some part of the steering was affected, I had to fight the wheel to turn it after starting vehicle. I would even let it run for a few minutes and it would almost cause collisions. It would wine like an old car and then work normally after I got going. Nissan had the car for a month and couldn’t fix. What a lemon. Happy with my Highlander- unfortunately Nissan burned me- probably won’t buy another anytime soon.

Drove it 1k miles (3 days) as a rental

I rented this in the SL trim from a well known vehicle rental company. It had 10k miles on the odometer. I drove it 1k miles in 3 days and this was enough for me to decide if it's a decent midsize SUV. The bad: Tight legroom in the 2nd and 3rd row seats, bland exterior style, navigation was basic, the 6 cylinder is weak, handling was mushy. The good: Impressive fuel consumption, quality leather seating, plenty of cup holders. Personally, I would not purchase this vehicle.

The Pathfinder provides you more bang for your buck. It has bells & whistles on it that are standard compared to other models in it's class! It is very comparable to a Toyota Highlander or a Ford Explorer

CVT (Transmission) is a problem

Bought a 2019 Pathfinder in 2019. 1 year and 6 months later Nissan had to completely swap out the transmission. Drove the new transmission for less than a day and need to go back for another one. Not the first Nissan I've had (previously had an Altima) and certainly not the only transmission problem I've faced with them. Stay away from Nissan's.

2019 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
4 of 5 people found this review helpful

We recently switched our nissan rogue with the pathfinder. we hated our Rogue from day one. Funny enough we tried to take it back after 4 days and we been trying to get out of our lease for the last 3 years. we had our mind set on the highlander but it was too expensive and was hardly any offers from Toyota. There was a great offer from the dealer on a 2019 Pathfinder Platinum. Basically we got about 25% off the MSRP which made the lease about 50% of what an equally equipped highlander or pilot would be. What we hate: 1. Older navigation unit. 2. Lane departure alert and lane keeping assist are not available in the pathfinder. 3. its not that quick but who cares. 4. very plain looking car. What we love: 1. the rear entertainment system: I didn't realize how much of a difference this would make. Now we can enjoy a relaxing drive without the continues fight between my two boys. 2. Smooth highway drive. 3. Comfortable seats and well isolated even with the winter tires on. We test drove the rock creek edition and there was a huge difference in ride between both trims. So far we love it so much and we are planning on keeping it for the entire lease term.
