2022 Nissan Pathfinder vs Toyota Highlander
Publié 13 juin 2022
The competition between Nissan and Toyota has been on for years and their SUVs are no different. The introduction of the Nissan Pathfinder is a clear sign that Nissan wishes to compete with Toyota's evergreen highlander. It will be fascinating to see how they compare. Here's a look at how they stack up against each other.
Engine
The Nissan Pathfinder Orleans model has a 3.5 L V6 engine, which produces 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. The Toyota Highlander comes with a 3.5 L 4-cylinder engine. It produces 295 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque.
Infotainment System
The infotainment system in the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder has an 8-inch display screen. It also has a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot which allows you to connect up to eight devices at once so that everyone can share their favourite music or movies without needing a WiFi connection.
The infotainment system in the Highlander also has an 8-inch display screen. But unlike its competitor, it does not have a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot so you will need an internet connection if you want to enjoy streaming music or movies.
Comfort Features
The Pathfinder offers an available power liftgate, which is perfect for when you're carrying groceries or luggage. It allows you to open the liftgate with one touch of a button, making it easy for both you and your passengers to get in and out of your vehicle quickly and easily. The Highlander does not offer this feature. Both vehicles come standard with heated front seats.
Safety Features
The safety features in both the Pathfinder and Highlander are designed to make sure you and your passengers stay safe. While they are similar in some ways, there are also some differences. Here is a look at some of the most important features:
Airbags: Both vehicles have front airbags, but only the Pathfinder has side airbags.
Child Safety Seats: The Highlander has latch attachments for child safety seats, while the Pathfinder does not.
Crash Test Ratings: Both vehicles received five out of five stars in all safety tests conducted by NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).
Design
The Pathfinder's exteriors include a front grille with chrome accents and a chrome roof rack. The headlights on this model are also surrounded by chrome trim. The interiors are designed with comfort in mind, with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. The Pathfinder also comes equipped with a seven-inch display screen, which can be used to control various vehicle functions.
The Highlander also has some great exteriors, including an optional panoramic moonroof and a power liftgate. Like its competitor, this model also comes equipped with heated seats and a steering wheel. The Highlander's interior is roomy enough to accommodate up to eight people comfortably, but there is less legroom than in the Nissan Pathfinder because of its sloping roofline.
Conclusion
If you've been looking at the new Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota Highlander, the choice between them may not seem so clear. Each offers a lot to consider and both vehicles deliver on realistic expectations of what they're trying to achieve. At the end of it all, it all comes down to better features and this is where the Pathfinder is slightly ahead.
