If you're weighing a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, the short answer is yes — it earns a look for spacious three-row cabin seats seven comfortably, and modern infotainment with smartphone integration. The honest trade-off: fuel economy trails some smaller competitors. This example sold for $28,995, showed 132,116 km and is rated an official 11.2 L/100km combined.

This 2022 Nissan Pathfinder in crisp White combines rugged 4x4 capability with genuine 7-passenger family versatility. With 132,116km on the clock, this Pathfinder is equipped with tri-zone climate control, a power liftgate, and Nissan's intelligent cruise control for effortless highway cruising. It's a smart, well-equipped SUV ready for London winters and family road trips alike.

What stood out about this one

I've had a lot of families come through our lot looking for something that can do it all — haul the kids, tow the trailer, and handle a snowy commute — and this Pathfinder checks every one of those boxes. What I like about this particular one is how well-equipped it is for the price, with the tri-zone climate control and power liftgate making it clear this trim was built with real families in mind.

When I looked this one over, the third row immediately stood out to me — it's a genuine 7-passenger setup, not an afterthought, which is something not every SUV in this class can claim. The 4x4 system paired with the intelligent cruise control makes it a comfortable, confident drive whether you're heading down the 401 or dealing with a fresh dusting of snow here in London.

My team and I always aim to be straightforward about what a vehicle offers, and this Pathfinder is one I'd genuinely recommend to my own family or friends looking for a practical, capable SUV. Come by South West Auto Group and take it for a drive — I think you'll see why it caught my attention.

Highlights

The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder marked a major redesign for this long-standing family SUV nameplate, bringing a bolder exterior, a more refined cabin, and improved technology while keeping the true 4x4 capability that Pathfinder owners have relied on for years. This generation moved to a 9-speed automatic transmission paired with the proven 3.5L V6, giving drivers confident power for towing, passing, and navigating Ontario's unpredictable weather with the added security of four-wheel drive. This particular Pathfinder is built for real families, with genuine third-row seating for seven passengers, tri-zone climate control so everyone stays comfortable, and a power liftgate that makes loading groceries or hockey bags effortless. Blind spot warning and intelligent cruise control add a layer of confidence for daily commuting or long highway drives, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep everyone connected and entertained. Who is this vehicle perfect for? Growing families who need three rows of space without stepping up to a full-size SUV, first-time SUV buyers who want proven Nissan reliability, and anyone in the London area who wants genuine 4x4 traction for winter driving. The heated front seats and remote start are especially welcome features once the Ontario frost sets in. At this price point and mileage, this Pathfinder represents a smart buy for shoppers who want a well-equipped, capable SUV without the premium price tag of a brand-new model. South West Auto Group has priced this unit to move, and with its combination of space, technology, and 4x4 capability, it's easy to see why the Pathfinder remains a favourite among Ontario families.
