2022 Ford Explorer vs. 2022 Nissan Pathfinder

The 2022 Ford Explorer is named an explorer for many reasons. One is the fact that you get to choose from trim levels with robust engine choices to bring you to your adventure. It also has reliable features inside, and promises a spacious cargo area too.

In the case of the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, you also can take a look at its promising interior. It boasts of nice driving dynamics as well.

Design & Style

True enough to its promise, the Ford Explorer has a spacious cargo hold that measures up to 18.2 cubic feet when all seats are in use. That of the Pathfinder is only given 16.6 cubic feet in that area behind the last row of seats. The interior of the Explorer has been sturdily built to bring you to the toughest terrains that you want to visit out there. It sits seven people, and that number drops down to six when you trade in the second-row bench for captain's chairs.

There is a problem with regards to comfort when it comes to the rear seats of the Nissan. The overall look is praised by critics, but with that amount of space left for its users, it is just underwhelming for a three-row SUV.

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Ford Explorer uses an eight-inch touch screen for its base infotainment system. This can be upgraded to a larger 10.1-inch touch screen display. Other standard amenities are USB ports, six speakers, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Automatic high-beam headlights, driver attention monitor, and rear parking sensors are included among standard driver aids for the SUV.

The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder also has an eight-inch touch screen display to complement functions of its infotainment system. It is slim in terms of its driver aids, though, since it can only provide riders with a rear door seat alert.

Performance

Both cars are tied in terms of city mileage since they rake in 21 mpg in that area. Highway driving fuel efficiency for the Explorer is better since it scores 28 mpg as against the 28 mpg for the Nissan. The Explorer produces up to 300 horsepower with its inline-four engine, which is much better than the 284-hp result for the Pathfinder.

The Bottom Line

When looking at the comparison between these two, you will notice how the 2022 Ford Explorer edges out its opponent in all aspects. Whether it is design and style we are speaking of, or the list of reliable technologies that it offers, you will notice that the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder lags behind it. The same is true when it comes to engine performance. You will definitely get your money's worth choosing the Ford over the Nissan.
