Ford’s two-row Edge offers Ford fans a second midsize crossover SUV choice. The Edge is larger than the Escape but smaller than the Explorer. Many might say it is “right-sized.”
Summary Review
The three-row Nissan Pathfinder was redesigned for the 2022 model year. The new model features a more boxy facade, additional standard safety features, a new nine-speed automatic transmission, and a more premium interior that can now seat up to eight passengers. This much-needed makeover of the aging Pathfinder, after nearly a decade, will better position the midsize SUV in this competitive segment.
Pros and Cons
- Excellent Performance ST trim
- Impressive safety tech on newer models
- Perfect balance of manageable exterior size and roomy interior
- No green (hybrid/electric) trim available
- Overdue for a full redesign
Pros and Cons
- “Right-sized” for this three-row segment (not huge, but certainly not small)
- Selectable modes to optimize optional AWD system
- Impressive suite of standard safety features
- Intuitive touchscreen infotainment system
- No green (hybrid/electric) version available
- Handling can be lackluster
