2022 Nissan Pathfinder vs 2021 Honda Pilot: Why choose the Nissan?

The mid-size three-row SUV segment is full of interesting models. The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, completely redesigned this year, is definitely a model to consider if you're looking for a roomy SUV for your family. Another option is the 2021 Honda Pilot, another model well known to consumers.


Although the Pilot has a lot of qualities, it is starting to show its age, as it was introduced to the market in its current form over four years ago. The Nissan Pathfinder, on the other hand, is brand new which means it offers technology not found in the Honda.


For example, here are some technologies offered in the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder that are not found in the 2021 Honda Pilot:


  • Head-up display
  • 12-inch digital instrumentation screen
  • Semi-automated driving with ProPilot Assist
  • Wi-Fi access point

This is the start of what sets the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder apart from the 2021 Honda Pilot. It also offers a more powerful engine courtesy of a 3.5-liter V6 that develops 284 horsepower compared to 280 in the Honda Pilot. The difference in power is felt on the road, but also when towing.


In fact, the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder has a towing capacity of 6,000 lbs compared to 5,000 lbs for the 2021 Honda Pilot.


That said, the main difference between the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder and the 2021 Honda Pilot is the price and most importantly, the value that the Nissan Pathfinder offers compared to the Pilot.


For example, the Nissan Pathfinder can be yours for $ 562 on lease per month for 48 months including taxes and fees with no down payment *. All things equal, the 2021 Honda Pilot costs $ 627. Right off the bat, the 2021 Honda Pilot is more expensive with a starting price of $ 44,890 compared to $ 43,798 for the Pathfinder.


The latter offers 470 liters behind the rear third row seats and 2,280 liters of total cargo space. More space, more value, more technology and more capacity. This is what the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder offers its owners. Come try it today!
