2022 Nissan Pathfinder vs. 2023 Kia Sportage: Reliability and Versatility

The Nissan Pathfinder has always been a symbol of reliability in the segment. It uses proven powertrain technologies that perform no matter the road conditions, but it also provides the latest technologies in terms of safety and driver aids. As a matter of fact, the Pathfinder is new for 2022 and gets new styling, new powertrain technologies and new amenities that make it better than ever.

Here, we compare the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder with the 2023 Kia Sportage.

Reliability and performance under the hood of the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder

Under the hood of the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, you will find a sturdy, powerful and reliable 3.5-litre V6 engine that outputs 284 horsepower. This is more powerful than any engine in the Kia Sportage lineup. This engine is mated to newly calibrated 9-speed automatic transmission that delivers precision and efficiency. It sends the power to all four wheels thanks to the Pathfinder’s standard AWD system. This system is specifically designed to conquer Canada’s worst road conditions.

The Kia Sportage doesn’t have standard AWD, and also uses more basic 6-speed and 8-speed automatic transmissions, as well as an AWD system that cannot rival with the Pathfinder.

More space and comfort in the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder

The Nissan Pathfinder provides much more space for passengers and cargo compared to the Kia Sportage. The Sportage only has room for 5 passengers, whereas the Pathfinder can welcome a total of 8 passengers. This is perfect for larger families on the go.

Moreover, the Nissan Pathfinder is much more comfortable than the Kia Sportage thanks to Nissan’s Zero Gravity seats that reduce muscle fatigue thanks to their unique shape and patented structure that provides continuous support from your hips all the way up to your shoulders.

In terms of total cargo volume, the Pathfinder delivers. With 2,280 litres when all passenger rows are folded, you’ll be able to carry anything from furniture, supplies or anything you need to bring to your destination. The Sportage can only deliver 1,703 litres in the same configuration.
