What Owners Say
"The CVT transmission along with the 6 cylinder engine give very nice acceleration."
Anonymous, NY (2017 Nissan Pathfinder)"acceleration is excellent but I find it has a bit too much body roll on curvy roads"
Anonymous, KY (2017 Nissan Pathfinder)"Quickly passes and merges."
Anonymous, IN (2017 Nissan Pathfinder)"Acceleration is good, but laggy until higher RPMs. All wheel drive should be a standard feature."
Anonymous, FL (2017 Nissan Pathfinder)"before I had this Nissan, I had a Infiniti....which is made by the same company. This Nissan Pathfinder drives every bit as good if not better than my Infiniti did. It handles great on the road, and the acceleration is better. It handles well in traffic, and lets you know when you're too close, or something is beside you."
Jan M., CA (2017 Nissan Pathfinder)"Auto braking with cruise control"
Anonymous, MS (2017 Nissan Pathfinder)"Very snappy acceleration, I do not care for the CVT transmission as it seems to "hunt" for a gear however it is very smooth and linear."
Anonymous, AL (2017 Nissan Pathfinder)"Has excellent acceleration and is easy to drive on city streets and on the highway. Easy to park or pull into the garage with the 360 degree cameras and object warning systems."

"If it is warm, car handles just fine. If it is below 20 degrees or so, the CVT struggles and jerks and jitters until the vehicle warms up for 10+ minutes of operation."
