What Owners Say
"Acceleration boat towing"
Roger T., PA (2016 Nissan Pathfinder)"About 10% of the time there is a hesitation in pressing the accelerator pedal where there is no response. No acceleration occurs. I must pump the accelerator to get a response from the vehicle. My 2015 Pathfinder had the same problem."
Anonymous, TN (2016 Nissan Pathfinder)"The Pathfinder has very fast, smooth acceleration and handles well."
Barry H., AB (2016 Nissan Pathfinder)"We like our Pathfinder. The one thing I can say is that in low gear it can be sluggish to get up to speed. It’s like it looses power but then it kicks in. We use it for family long 12 to 14 hour trips and it does well. MPG is great for the size of the vehicle. I wish it had a 9 speed transmission instead of a SVT to be honest."
Anonymous, NC (2016 Nissan Pathfinder)"Comfortable ride."
Thomas D., WA (2016 Nissan Pathfinder)"The V6 has surprising acceleration capability getting on the freeway, ang changes lanes easily. The CVT transmission exceeded my expectations, easily adjusting the ratio to provide smooth acceleration without jumps in engine speed. Also adjusts downward easily and automatically keeping engine rpm smmooth and low. Does not act like a full size 3 row SUV. Also has driver select 4WD which Pilot and Highlander do not. Their AWD shifts between FWD and AWD as the vehicle determines best. Pathfinder has that as a driver selection along with FWD."
