- Reliability (4)Nissan Pathfinders generally have a good reputation for reliability, and the 2018 model is no exception, with no widespread major issues reported.
- Maintenance (4)Maintenance costs are generally reasonable for its class, and parts are readily available. The CVT transmission requires specific fluid changes but is otherwise straightforward.
- Technology (3)The SV trim includes essential technology like an 8-inch touchscreen and basic driver-assist features, but it lacks some of the more advanced tech found in rivals or higher trims.
- Comfort (4)The interior is spacious and comfortable, especially in the first two rows. Road noise is well-managed, contributing to a pleasant long-distance experience.
- Dynamics (3)The 2018 Pathfinder SV offers a smooth, if unexciting, ride. Handling is competent for a large SUV, but it's not sporty.
