CarTell take

We haven't driven the Pathfinder yet. On paper, ti at $69,690 plus on-roads drops to 6 seats. If you need 7, stay on ST-L. Ti-L at $79,990 plus on-roads overlaps with Hyundai Palisade Hybrid and Mazda CX-90 territory.

Why consider it

  • 2,700 kg braked towing is segment-leading among unibody seven-seaters.
  • The 9-speed auto replaces the old CVT, the seven-mode Intelligent 4WD covers Snow, Sand, Mud and Tow drive modes, and the third row remains adult-usable thanks to EZ Flex tip-and-slide.

What to know

  • No hybrid powertrain offered.
  • 10.5 L per 100 km combined is thirsty for the class, premium fuel preferred.
  • Ti and Ti-L lose the seventh seat for second-row captain's chairs.

Who it suits

Caravan towers and big families who want 2,700 kg braked towing, a real seven-seat layout on lower grades, and a soft-roader-capable seven-mode AWD system on 4WD grades.
