That “mother in-law” line has convinced me that it’s perfect!!! 😂😂

NO ONE! And I mean, No one does the extensive break down as you do. When I ever look into buying a car, your reviews is where I come to save me time!

Loved your comment on third row seat ,best suited for Mother-in-Law ! haha Funny Thanks Joe

I like how you edited the video. Ability to skip over to the different chapters is fantastic.

The best review of this car I have seen on You Tube

I bought 2 weeks ago and this is one the best vehicle i found for my family. I will update after 6 months to 1 year

I just purchased a 2015 platinum model. I absolutely love it. Husband and son are over 6 ft tall and both have plenty of room!

Dang, dude, excellent review! We've had one for a few months now and, so far, we've been very happy with it! Thank you!

By far the best review out there. Great work!

i just did little experiment in the weekend, to find out how capable this 4 x 4 system of this newer pathfinder is, I found out that this newer uni body pathfinder has FRONT LSD and rear lockers. there is a procedure to engage the rear lockers in this newer pathfinder, move shifter to low range, turn 4wd control knob to LOCK MODE, turn traction control off, this will engage the reardiff locker lock as soon as a wheel win is detected in the vehicle , I heard a clicking sounds as the power started to go towards the wheel with traction, the lock will disengage after 40kmph, this is a very capable 4 x 4 system if you know how to use it, this vehicle say do serious off roading with proper offraoding tires, as long as you don't exceed speeds of 40kmph. the rear diff will not lock in AUTO mode.

I have this car for 7 months now. My only (minor) complain is that the power steering pump is noisy. I still don't like CVT, but maybe that's because I also own a 2014 Mazda3 that has a nice 6-speed automatic.

Excellent review! You're very detailed--thanks for being so thorough.

How do you use the 4x4 options? I mean say you're driving on 2wd, but you need to change it to 4x4, do you just switch it to auto or lock? Do you have to stop? Slow down? Put it on neutral? Owners manual doesn't explain this.

Payload figures would greatly improve assessing the actual tow capacity. This is because the tongue weight counts against the payload, and with many vehicles you will quickly exceed payload when having passengers and towing.

Love our 15 platinum. No transmission issues. Great comprehensive review Alex!

That's why I just picked up a 2015 Pathfinder SL. Great review. Thanks for the hard work.

nice video keep it up alex!

Perfect review & great Nissan.

My new ride!!! Exactly same color and trim.

Excellent Review :)

Great review I love mines

Alex - great video as always. I appreciate you taking a look at ground clearance and it confirmed my suspicion on where the measurement was taken and it sounds like what you would drag first is the flexible air-dam (would rather that than the exhaust or differential). One thing I did note: in your review you reference the differential "lock" (50/50 split) giving it more ability than the Highlander. Doesn't the highlander also have a lock feature? Do they operate differently?

Thanks Alex...great review as always! Based on your previous recommendation, we test drove and then finally bought a '15 Pathfinder Plt 4x4 and we very happy with it!

after all your the first that started talking about it but later in video ,thanks

Hi Alex, thank for the great video. I have one question: in the video you mentioned the actual road holding numbers(handling rating) of pathfinder is as good as cx9. Where do you find these numbers, is there a website that list the numbers for different cars?

Nice review Alex! Any idea why would they stop production of pathfinder hybrid?. If I don't mind paying extra for premium QX60 hybrid. Would you consider it over pathfinder in terms of comfort for all passengers and fuel economy?

Hi Alex, I love your videos and eagerly await for each update. I think you have one of most comprehensive review in entire universe of online videos. I would like also point to you about a couple of suggestions. Please include the safety ratings, resale value and reliability numbers in your reviews. These are very critical details which determine the satisfaction during car ownership and so plays an important role in car buying experience. Obviously these can be found else where in the website like edmunds etc, You may choose to add this detail in comparison section. Folks like me trying to buy for a family value the safety features over comfort, leather and plastic material. I personally have seen friends buy a Hyundai Santa Fe over competitors primarily due to cost, warranty and safety. So please give this request to add safety, reliability, cost to own and resale value a strong consideration. Thanks, Saravana.

Alex, how would you compare / rate this to the Infiniti QX60? Did Nissan update the CVT transmission on their 2015 Pathfinder?

Would you say that the Pathfinder is as soft as the new Murano in terms of suspension?

Alex, Will the 2016 Pathfinder get an upgraded infotainment system or any other changes? I'm torn between the Pathfinder Platinum 2015 or the Odyssey.Touring 2015 I have 2 kids under 2 and in laws that come to visit often so I need space but I also like all the bells and whistles those vehicles provide.

hi Alex,now that honda pilot 2016 is out which three row suv is best for a family of six?thank you

Hi alex/anyone, which of the Trim models or rather exterior color comes with the cream interior seat(leather) or any other color other than black? I dont like the cloth seats or black leathers. I am interested in getting 2015 or 2016.Thanks

How would you compare this to the CX-9? That one is really due for a redesign though.

Thank you!

Any feedback on 2015 Pathfinder transmission? 2013-2014 used to be bad. Not sure of 2015 transmission.

i have noticed that nowdays suroofs are like found in very high trim. this pathfinder is pretty loaded with leather but no sunfoof. I was at ford dealer looking at fusion and almost fully loaded een with nav bu no sunroof. very weird.

25:13 I'm not an expert in botany but why are leaves falling?? especially if this video was published in April ?!!

there is never any talk about the suspension ,i,am looking for a soft ride

which has the better value? pathfinder, highlander, or pilot?

The central dash should be more angled. I don't like the upright position.

Just purchased a 2015 SL equipped exactly like this. Wish you would have commented on towing capacity more completely. My Pathfinder has a tow mode switch on the lower left hand drivers side. What does this do ?

Hopefully someone gives some input, we are a family of three with one child in a rear facing convertible seat. We plan to have another kid in the next couple years who will also rear face for as long as possible. We do a LOT of traveling, long trips between states and such. We also have three big dogs. Should we go for a 2016 Kia Sorento with the v6 engine or a 2015 Pathfinder? I like them both, I'm going to test drive this weekend.(Forgot to add we like to do a lot of outdoorsy things, not really what I would consider off roading but driving on fairly steep and washboarded dirt roads.)

Con you check the Acura Mdx thanks

Traditional 4WD transfer case will lock and not overheat. These AWD type will heat up after a while and go right back into 2WD.

Really great comprehensive review, Alex. I was SO glad I didn't have to scream "Durango. What about the Durango!" at the screen when I watched it.

How are the 2015 pathfinder transmissions? I like the car's features, just not sold due to reliability or rather liability of transmission

how reliable is it?

Hi Alex, I've watched quite a few of your videos and would really like your opinion for my purchase - what's the best car for our situation? We have two back-facing car seats and they will remain back-facing for another 6 months or so, therefore I prefer an SUV or a van that allows me to install 2 car seats (back facing) in the 2nd row, using the middle seat, to allow the other side seat slide forward and give easy access to the 3rd row. I think this configuration provides the easiest for access to 3rd row, right? (Compare to walking through the 2nd row middle seat area to the 3rd row, or slide a side seat a little bit forward giving tight access to 3rd row due to back facing car seat) I saw this Pathfinder video and thought the Pathfinder may provide the solution, although you didn't mention whether installing a back-facing car seat in the 2nd row middle seat will work. (I saw your other car seat video too) Could you comment on that? From my understanding, Honda Odyssey allows my configuration too, so we are deciding between a van and a crossover. I think Sienna may allow my configuration too, not sure. We don't mind the look of a van, although an SUV or crossover is cooler. Acceleration is not important. Automatic AWD is important. Cargo space after 3rd row is important as we are likely to use the 3rd seats. Price wise, Sienna, Odyssey category would be OK. What do you think is the best? Any other SUV or crossover you recommend? I understand that for vans, it's probably just Odyssey, Sienna, Sedona... Thanks a lot! Leo

LOL at the mother in law comment.

that front end of nissan looks good for their crossover but it looks really bad for the new maxima

Sharat, I couldn't reply due to your Google settings, but I think that they discontinued it because the Infiniti hybrid is more profitable.

Wasn't the Durango related to the M class and the 300 to the E class?

Hi alex, thanks for your video about this 2015 Nissan Pathfinder, I need your help regarding to what could be a better option for me on a SUV, to have a better idea about my situation here's the whole picture: I am living in Canada where winter sometimes has no mercy and drive can become in an stress, so an AWD vehicle is necessary ( well at least for me others I don't care), then next my family has 5 + 1 members include my wife and myself and grandma ( my mother in law) just came 2 months ago and I think she will stay with us for a very long time, my kids 2 of them are teenagers & the little one is 12 years old, but is growing very fast. I currently have a Mitsubishi Outlander 2015 my only complaint is the room in winter is perfect and coming with 10 years of guarantee, I don't like grand caravan due to bad experience on dodge I wanna keep myself away from them, please reply my comment and tell me the options similar at this vehicle or maybe this path finder is the best for me?

Alex do you think this is need of a face-lift maybe because the interior is getting out dated it needs the murano interior also lack safety features too

yeah

It looks like a nice car but I want to know how exactly it feels when you drive? People complain of CVTS and stuff like that

Auto 4WD of Pathfinder is very confused. In owners manual, do not operated 4WD when starting engine or driving dry pavement. I do not think that it is "Auto" 4WD. It is same with conventional 4H mode in 4WD. Why is it named with "auto"?

what car it's better honda pilot 2016 or nissan pathfinder

a+

Alex I want to ask, in three row SUV, would this be the SUV that has the most leg room for all three rows? I'm looking for a SUV that can fit adults all three rows because we always goes on road trip. any recommendations?

I'm rather concerned for Nissan after Ford and Honda released their redesigned Explorer and Pilot. I like the features that Nissan provide, but the styling is definitely a big sell point for lots of consumers.

Shame that the car gets a great review but suffers from reliability reports at the same time.

Love the MIL joke!

looks like a large rogue i really dont like the fact that its front weel drive

Nissan..please dnt tell us again that there is a tranmission and ecm problem due to radiator leackage ...well i dnt care as i have shifted to toyota.

Had my 2013 Pathfinder SL AWD for almost 3 years and over 100K (km) and not one issue with the tranny except requiring a software update (and it drives like a Car). It is a beast off the line beating a lot of "sportier" cars and doesn't burn a drop of oil. I am done with Toyota, and Kia and will only consider Honda and Nissan from now on.

Unfortunately one of the least reliable Mid-size suvs because of the transmission :(

where are the damn bumpers nissan???????????

So basically Nissan wins again!!!

So many reasons to like this car. But I just don't. I wish I did. Something about it just bores me.

Transmission on these are terrible

Meh.

Heheh it looks like a 90's minivan. Dodge something..lol

Continues to be unreliable, if you want one, lease one.

Don't buy one. Nothing but problems and breakdowns.

Sorry - cant watch this. Your repeated use of the term "3 row cross-over" is just annoying. And its "Toyota", not "Toda"!
