VIDEO: 1,000 Mile Family Road Trip In The 2024 Nissan Pathfinder
The 2024 Nissan Pathfinder receives no changes this year: a rarity within the industry. Confident the brand already has the winning formula, Nissan lent us a fully loaded 2024 Pathfinder Platinum to take on a 1,000-mile family road trip.
After four days on the road, the SUV proved a worthy travel companion. Nothing overly sticks out about the Pathfinder, good or bad, as the vehicle goes about its business seamlessly, eating up mile after mile of interstate.
The three-row SUV segment is typically dominated by practical, need-based purchasing decisions rather than emotional impulses. Families in this market are generally looking for a vehicle that efficiently meets their needs, and the Nissan Pathfinder is designed with this in mind. It prioritizes utility and comfort over flash and flair, providing a straightforward and reliable driving experience.
The Pathfinder doesn’t particularly stand out in any specific area—there’s nothing that jumps out as either exceptional or problematic. Instead, it quietly handles the job it was built for, comfortably covering long distances without a fuss. Over the course of a 1,000-mile journey spread across four days, the Pathfinder proved itself to be a dependable family vehicle, delivering a smooth, comfortable, and hassle-free ride. In a segment where practicality is key, the Pathfinder simply gets the job done.
