* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  Nissan's recent improvements in quality control suggest good long-term reliability for the Pathfinder. The powertrain is well-tested, and common issues are generally minor and infrequent.
• Maintenance (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  Routine maintenance costs are on par with the segment, but some specific parts or dealer services can be a bit pricier than competitors. General accessibility for DIY maintenance is average.
• Technology (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The infotainment system is intuitive and responsive, featuring a large touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies. Some advanced features are still optional.

  Excellent comfort for all passengers, especially in the first two rows. The SL trim features plush leather seating, a quiet cabin, and a smooth suspension that absorbs road imperfections well. Third-row access is also commendable.
