Many buyers find that they can narrow the field to just a few choices, which typically include the Pathfinder and the Telluride. As you compare the sizes of these two SUVs, you will find that there is often less than two inches in variation between the overall height and, length and width. Both also come equipped with a V-6 engine, with the Pathfinder delivering an additional mile per gallon when driving on the highway.

Driver Comfort And Is Critical
With two very similarly sized SUVs, it is shocking to many drivers to learn that the Pathfinder provides around two additional inches of head and shoulder space as well as legroom over the Telluride. The clear choice for taller drivers is the Pathfinder. The added space also appeals to drivers who are not overly tall but appreciate the ability to shift to various seating positions on a longer drive to avoid driver fatigue and distraction due to discomfort.
The Edge In Performance
The Nissan Pathfinder has a slight edge in fuel economy on the highway and when driven in the city. Drivers also like that the Pathfinder is a genuine four-wheel drive SUV that gives buyers the option of two power platforms. One delivers 284 horsepower while the larger puts out 295 as compared to the 291 of the one engine offered in the Telluride. Finally, the towing capacity is ruled by the Pathfinder, with a max weight of 6,000 pounds as compared to the 5,500 pounds that makes out the Telluride. Drivers also comment that the Pathfinder delivers a well-balanced ride and offers easy handling for an SUV with three rows of seating and such a sizable cargo capacity.
ProPilot Assist
The Nissan feature ProPilot Assist uses adaptive cruise control to reduce driver fatigue, which can result in distractions and accidents. The system manages lane centering, acceleration, and braking to ensure that your Pathfinder and passengers are as safe as possible when using cruise control. Typical cruise control without these added features can result in accidents when the flow of traffic changes abruptly and the driver does not have ample warning to make adjustments. ProPilot Assist is a feature included only on Nissan vehicles.
When you are ready to begin test-driving SUVs, please make time to stop by Natchez Nissan to experience the Pathfinder and all its comfort and safety features. Once you take that first test drive, you will be even more amazed that the Pathfinder is less expensive than the Telluride while offering slightly better gas mileage, increased towing capacity, and a more spacious cabin for the driver. We are sure it will be an easy choice to drive home to Monroe or Natchez in your new 2024 Nissan Pathfinder.
