New Nissan Pathfinder For Sale Near St. Louis, MO

A mainstay on the roads in and around St. Louis, MO since 1985, the Nissan Pathfinder is a versatile, three-row SUV that's eye-catching and well equipped. As it prepares to launch its fifth outstanding generation with the release of the 2022 model year version, the team at AutoCenters Nissan has the details and scoop on what longtime fans and newcomers alike can expect from this popular SUV.

Key Updates to Welcome in the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder

After wrapping up its fourth generation with the 2020 model year, the Pathfinder took 2021 off to prepare for this 2022 exciting rerelease. It gets a slew of welcome updates, including a new transmission, new technology, a new seating configuration option, and new interior design elements. Whereas previous Pathfinder generations had a strictly eight--passenger seating capacity, 2022 allows drivers to opt for second-row captain's chairs, which give it a seven-passenger capacity and flexible interior.

In addition to these new changes, the midsized Pathfinder also continues to deliver many of the qualities that longtime fans have come to know and love about this SUV, including standard three-row seating and standard V6 power.

Power and Performance

As with the previous model year, every 2022 Nisan Pathfinder gets its power from a standard 3.5-liter V6 engine. This gives Alton and Edwardsville drivers up to 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque standard, with standard four-wheel drive that's up for anything.

New for 2022, the traditional, continuously variable automatic transmission that has been standard equipment for the Pathfinder is replaced by a new, smooth, nine-speed automatic. This helps the SUV feel at home on road or off. Add in the exciting driving mode options, including Snow mode, Sand mode, Tow mode, and Mud / Rut mode, and this is a capable machine that's great for office commutes to Collinsville, IL, or light trail riding and off-road adventures.

For families who enjoy camping and boating adventures, the 2022 Pathfinder can also help tow your small RV or boat. A 3,500-pound towing capacity comes standard for this model, and you can get up to 6,000 pounds capacity with an optional towing package, placing it higher than many similarly sized crossover competitors.

Updated technology takes center stage for 2022. Look for a newly available 12.3-inch digital dashboard display with this new model, as well as an optional 9-inch touchscreen. These join the long list of amenities and options for 2022, a list which also includes:
