24 Plat 4WD - Good space, comfort, handling & MPG

2024 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)
Update: Dec. 2024 we are now at 10K miles and still no issues, would definitely buy again! Has been a great vehicle around city and on 7+hour drives. Great MPG on Hwy with cruise control on (even at over 70 mph). Tight turning radius has come in handy as well. Only con is I wish Nissan and other car manufacturers would give more permanent control to driver/owner over feature settings so … that I control how they behave and the settings need to save until I decide to change them back (e.g. auto engine stop/start should not default to on every time vehicle restarts, seat belt chime reminder for 2 minutes just because I have a package in front passenger seat, should disable auto rear brake assist automatically if in Tow mode with trailer plugged in, should have feature to set a GPS based exception to rear brake emergency assist for owners with steep driveways or parking garages, etc.) Having more control would bring the vehicle from an 8.5 rating to a 10 rating. Based on owner comments in current generation Pathfinder forums, I do expect to probably need to replace both the OEM tires and break pads at around 18K-25K miles... but once I upgrade the original tires and brake pads, then those items should last much longer than the versions from the factory. Owners of other brand, new cars, are also reporting similar low mileage out of factory tires as well.
Original: So far we have had zero issues and no regrets. After 8 months of research and test drives, in Nov. '23, I traded out of a 2017 Murano Platinum with 56K miles that was an awesome vehicle and purchased a White '24 Pathfinder Platinum 4WD with chestnut interior, blackout package and second row bench seat. I went with '24 year model knowing that some of the bugs from the '22 redesign had been solved for at the plant and knowing that other some other issues had also been figured out and Dealer Service would now be able to handle them better under warranty. We have 5,600 miles on it so far including multiple 7 hour 1 way road trips and have towed my SXS buggy many times (deer camp is a 4 hour drive into hill country and the last 6 miles are gravel/clay roads). A few weeks ago we split folded the second row seats and took 3 adults and 5 large suitcases to the airport. This weekend we made a trip to the plant nursery, folded the second row flat and brought home a load of 18 bags of soil and nine 5 gallon plants. We were able to close the tailgate normally. My extended family and friends constantly remark about how nice the vehicle looks and how comfortable it is to ride in. We keep the third row flat for cargo space as it's best for small kids or less than an hour for adults. We have had at least 1 Nissan in the family for over 14 years now and all of the models have been very reliable, great value in terms of features for the price and fun to drive.

NOTE: This video is about the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, but since the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.
When the Kia Telluride debuted in 2019 to critical and commercial success, it was a sign that Ford and Honda no longer ruled the three-row midsize SUV market. Over the past couple of years, the Telluride has been recognized as one of the best three-row SUVs. We named it the Edmunds Top Rated SUV for 2020 and 2021.
