![]() The better news is that these seats are well formed and supportive and as hinted at before, the butt pockets are much softer than the pre-pro model, so fine for long drives with the fam aboard. Downside to the gloss finish? It’s very reflective on sunny days. The Pathfinder really looks posh with its quilted leather all around and brushed metal look trim on the outer air vents, door armrests faces and then piano gloss black trim around the various screens and as console trim. So make it as comfy and lounge-like as possible. I mean, where do you spend hours and hours? Inside your vehicle, naturally. Nissan’s are semi-aniline leather and were a handsome medium brown with black trim on seats, doors and dash. That means leather with various names taken from Italian fishing villages to California wine country counties. Luxury interiors, often even in the $35,000-$40,000 price range (that’s about $10,000 short of the average vehicle price now) are trendy too. So engine noise is modest and the cabin remains quiet, so as not to disturb the family’s social media experiences. That helps keep the 3.5-liter V6 calmed even as the 4,672-pound SUV runs up to highway speeds. Nissan’s is a nine-speed and silky smooth. This counteracts the more streamlined styling with rounded edges of recent years, although I’d argue SUVs nearly all look pretty boxy, always have.Īnother trend?

In this case, the roof was black and the body a destroyer gray. The trend is giving the roof a different paint scheme than the body. Now I also see the trends that Pathfinder exhibits that I wasn’t as aware of previously.įirst, two-tone SUVs and crossovers are now a thing, a good thing I might add. Plus it was a top-end Platinum 4WD version, same as I’d tested last fall.įor the most part, all was the same, save for a better driver’s seat butt pocket that was not as hard as last time. That was the case with Nissan’s new 2022 Pathfinder. Sometimes too I test a vehicle as a pre-production model, then get the standard production model a few months later. Part of that is because trends develop fast in the car world and once one manufacturer does something for style, color, features, the others soon fall in line. If a friend needs a Nissan, I will happily take them to this dealership.Sometimes when I write my reviews I feel like a broken record (remember those?) repeating the same info over and over. In my opinion, everyone was professional and helpful. After we finished the paperwork, Ray explained the various controls in the car. He answered my questions and the process was smooth. I went to their finance manager to purchase the car. When I arrived, they had the car ready to go. I made a second appointment to come back to buy the car. Ray provided me with the pricing details. I asked about a different color interior, which they had in stock, and they brought that new car over for me to see. The car I had discussed with John was already pulled up by the showroom so I could see it. Mario introduced me to Ray, the salesman. Mario was aware of my conversation with John, including the pricing. When I arrived at the showroom, I was greeting by Mario, the manager. John made me feel comfortable so I made an appointment to visit the showroom. We discussed the current customer cash offers. John was easy to work with and gave me direct answers to my questions. Our first contact with Woodfield Nissan was through John, their internet shopping specialist. We purchased a 2021 Nissan Altima Platinum car from Woodfield Nissan.
