The 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine is carried over from the previous model, producing the same 284 hp and 259 lb-ft of torque. That's both good and bad. On the plus side, it's well-known and as reliable as a sunrise. On the downside, it doesn't have the power nor refinement that its main rivals offer. Luckily for Nissan, this particular segment is still way behind in adopting the smaller capacity turbocharged engine. One of the few standouts is the Mazda CX-9, equipped with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-pot. It's down on horses (only 250), but it blows all of its competitors away when it comes to torque. A full 320 lb-ft is available from just above idle. Every Pathfinder trim is available in front-wheel drive with all-wheel drive available as an option. This is pretty much the standard in this segment. While the Pathfinder is not a performance car, the FWD model has been independently tested doing 0-60 mph in 6.7 seconds. Brisk enough to keep up with traffic, but not so fast that it scares the kids. No top speed figure is provided, but it will do the maximum legal speed without trying too hard. The standard towing capacity for the S, SV, and SL is 3,500 lbs. A towing package is available for the SV and SL, increasing the tow rating to 6,000 lbs. This package is standard on the Platinum trim.2022 Pathfinder Performance Photos

The engine might be a carry-over, but the tragic CVT transmission is no more. Instead, Nissan mated the 3.5-liter V6 to a nine-speed torque converter automatic transmission with a broad spread of gear ratios. The 284 hp is available from 6,400 rpm, while the 259 lb-ft of torque kicks in at 4,800 rpm. The new nine-speed automatic gearbox does a great job making full use of the V6's 284 hp and 259 lb-ft of torque. It accelerated confidently when entering a highway even with the added weight of lots of Ikea-boxed furniture, a pair of large suitcases, and plenty of other miscellaneous belongings.2022 Nissan Pathfinder Performance Specs
