First-Class Family Rides: 2022 Nissan Maxima & 2022 Nissan Pathfinder

The third time’s the charm for the Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Maxima! This full-sized duo has been recognized by Parents’ team of automotive experts for the third consecutive year, landing them on their list of Best Family Cars for 2022. 

Beginning with the short list of models that aced industry safety tests, Parents evaluated each vehicle using a vigorous series of tests focused on drive standards, car seat compatibility, safety, and efficiency. Only the vehicles that scored top marks and put families first made the cut. Let’s find out what Parents had to say about Nissan’s winners. 

Best Sporty Sedan: 2022 Nissan Maxima 

“You don’t expect this much luxury from the Nissan Maxima, especially at the entry level: Leather heated power front seats, chrome trim details, navigation, and Nissan Safety Shield 360 ADAS system add up to a car that spoils front and rear seat passengers.”

Best Adventure SUV: 2022 Nissan Pathfinder

“Despite seating for 7 or 8 passengers, this SUV feels confident on the road and not oversized. Nissan worked to improve the drive experience for the 2022 redesign and its Pro Pilot Assist ADAS features are standard, adding confidence on the road.”
