PERFORMANCE
We all want a car that has the stamina to keep up with our schedules. When life is in “go” mode, will the Nissan Pathfinder and Honda CR-V keep pace?
From the engine that keeps the show on the road, to the strength that opens the door to more adventure, let’s dissect what these two midsize SUVs have to offer.
Finding An Engine with Power
Getting to know the personality of these two SUVs comes with knowing them by their heart. The Nissan Pathfinder runs on a heart of gold. With the help of the 3.5L Direct Injection V6 engine, the Pathfinder boasts an impressive 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. The capability of this engine makes getting from Point A to Point B not only simple, but exciting.
While the Honda CR-V has both a gas and hybrid option, both engines are under 200 horsepower, putting the Pathfinder ahead in this field.
An SUV with Muscle
Sometimes your travel needs ask for more than just spaciousness inside the vehicle, but towing capabilities. When taking a glance at the towing strength of both the Nissan Pathfinder and Honda CR-V, the difference in capability is significant.
The Nissan Pathfinder has the ability to tow up to 3,500 pounds of your cargo.* To give you a visual, picture the average ski boat. As for the CR-V, it can tow up to 1,500 pounds, or a rowboat.
INTERIOR
Just as the performance level of your next midsize SUV is important, the Nissan Pathfinder and the Honda CR-V designed an interior to the same standards. When looking for an interior that is both comfortable and spacious, these vehicles remain great options, but what sets them apart?
Getting Comfortable
Being comfortable in your day-to-day commute is always a plus. Both vehicles have prioritized comfort for their passengers with available features such as heated front seats and driver power lumbar. When it comes to going the extra mile, the Pathfinder stands out.
The Pathfinder is available with heated rear seats and passenger power lumbar, where both are not available in the CR-V.
Making Room in the Pathfinder vs CR-V
The dimensions of the Pathfinder found a middle ground in spaciousness seat to seat while maximizing the number of passengers it can hold. While the CR-V holds a max of five passengers, the Pathfinder’s third row ups the quantity to eight.
Even with the extra row, the Pathfinder has more space in five of six seating categories than the CR-V.
