DARE TO COMPARE


Nissan Pathfinder vs. Ford Explorer

At a Glance: Pathfinder vs. Explorer


When you're seeking an SUV to take you and your family around Cherry Hill, Mount Laurel, or Collingswood, NJ, you may want to consider the Nissan Pathfinder or the Ford Explorer. Both full-size SUVs offer a great deal to their drivers and passengers, but how do you know which vehicle is right for you?

In this article, we at Cherry Hill Nissan are going to provide a closer look at the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder vs. Ford Explorer by comparing them. We'll showcase their similarities and differences in terms of performance and efficiency, interior space and comfort, and entertainment and technology.


See the Difference for Yourself


INTERIOR

Hop behind the wheel of either the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder or the Ford Explorer. What do you see? A spacious interior with plenty of room for you and your passengers. Let’s find out which one has the interior amenities you need.

Interior Space and Comfort

The Pathfinder is equipped to carry eight passengers, while the Explorer can carry a maximum of seven. This puts the Pathfinder a little bit ahead thanks to its capacity to welcome more riders.

Each of these rides boasts three rows of seating, which means extra space for family and furry friends. When it comes to space within the cabin, the Nissan Pathfinder comes with a maximum front headroom of 42.3 inches, which overtakes the Explorer's 40.7 inches of front headroom. You'll also get more legroom in the Pathfinder with 44.3 inches compared to the Explorer's 43 inches.

Interior Amenities

You'll have a plush cloth seat trim as well as a 6-way manual driver's seat with lumbar support in the Pathfinder. You can also opt for available climate-controlled front seats (heated and cooled), a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, and more.

If you're looking for enhanced comfort, the Nissan has what you're looking for.


EXTERIOR

We've already mentioned how measurements play a role in the comfort level inside your set of wheels. There's even more to talk about when it comes to the exterior. How do those numbers compare in the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder vs. Ford Explorer? Let's take a look.

Exterior Dimensions

Dimensions can change the way your driving experience feels. When you get behind the wheel to cruise in the Nissan Pathfinder, you'll find:

  • Wheelbase: 114.2 inches
  • Length:197.7 inches
  • Height:70.9 inches

In the Explorer, however, the exterior will look like:

  • Wheelbase: 119.1 inches
  • Length:198.8 inches
  • Height:69.9 inches

While the Explorer is slightly larger, it really comes down to your needs as a driver. Consider it for a moment: What are you specifically looking for?

Which One Is Easier to Manuever?

With a width of 77.9 inches, the Pathfinder is more compact while providing greater space within the actual cabin for the driver's comfort, which in turn also allows you to navigate tight roads easily. Parallel parking is made easier in smaller vehicles, and you'll be able to explore them in your new set of wheels.

In comparison, the Explorer measures 89.3 inches wide, making it harder to park and navigate tight streets.


TECHNOLOGY

Stepping inside either the Nissan Pathfinder or the Ford Explorer is made more fun when you notice the infotainment systems at your fingertips. Your drive should be just as exciting as your destination, so you’ll want an SUV with plenty of technology features.

Entertainment and Technology

You'll find these rides equipped with a 6-speaker sound system to deliver audio entertainment from the radio as well as the CD player. That means, you’ll be able to listen to your favorite tunes in high-quality sound.

Both vehicles feature an infotainment system for ease of accessing your media selections. For example, the Nissan Pathfinder offers a standard NissanConnect® 8-inch color touch-screen display. You'll also be able to enjoy an Advanced Drive-Assist® Display, Voice Recognition, and more. The Ford Explorer also offers a standard 8-inch screen.

Digital Instrument Cluster

The Nissan Pathfinder offers more amenities than the Ford Explorer. You can utilize the available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. This feature is completely customizable so you can always see the information that’s most important to you. Plus, the Nissan Pathfinder offers a Head-Up Display with all the essential information.

While the Ford Explorer can be equipped with a 12.3-inch instrument panel on top trims, you won’t find a Head-Up Display with this model.
