Advantages of the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder SUV

First, families on a budget will find more value with the Pathfinder. Offering a more affordable MSRP for a premium experience, financing for the Pathfinder will feel easier than with the Highlander.

Another perk of the Pathfinder is the available 4x4 drivetrain. With this selected drivetrain, traveling off-road will feel like a breeze. While all-wheel drive does offer some off-road capabilities, it cannot handle the more challenging terrains that 4x4 can. Also, for drivers that need to navigate tight areas, the Pathfinder offers standard parking assist. The Highlander does offer this feature as well but will require more money down.
