Three reasons to buy a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder instead of a 2022 Kia Telluride

The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder has been completely redesigned this year and features a host of new technologies, plenty of interior space, exceptional towing capabilities, and all the cargo space you could want in a midsize SUV. The Pathfinder faces fierce competition, yes, but it has everything it takes to stand out.


One of the direct rivals of the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder is the Kia Telluride. Spacious too, the Telluride has a lot of qualities, but it is expensive and does not have the same towing capacity as the Pathfinder. For the price, the Pathfinder gives you more. Here are three reasons to consider buying a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder instead of a 2022 Kia Telluride.


The Pathfinder has better towing capacity than the Telluride


The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder comes standard with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that develops 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. This engine is roughly identical to the engine of the previous generation of the Pathfinder, but the powertrain now receives a 9-speed gearbox which makes all the difference. Thanks to this new box, the Pathfinder can tow up to 6,000 lbs, which is 1,000 lbs more than most of its rivals including the 2022 Kia Telluride.

 

The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder has more room where it counts


The Nissan Pathfinder has grown in size compared to the previous generation, and it’s inside where we see the most significant changes. The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder offers more headroom than the Kia Telluride for the front occupants (1,072mm vs 1,003mm), more shoulder room in the second row (1,534mm vs 1,521 mm) and in the third row as well (1,448 mm vs 1,405 mm).


In other words, you will be less cramped in the Pathfinder than in the Telluride, at all rows.

 

2022 Nissan Pathfinder gives you more than the 2022 Kia Telluride for less money


The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder starts at $ 43,998 compared to $ 48,505 for the 2022 Kia Telluride. That translates to a monthly payment of about $ 55 per month less for the Pathfinder with a 48-month lease at 20,000 kilometers *


In its best-equipped version, the Pathfinder costs less than $ 55,000 while the Kia Telluride requires $ 58,205. In short, no matter the model or the level of equipment, the Pathfinder will always be more affordable than the Kia Telluride.
