When the Kia Telluride debuted in 2019 to critical and commercial success, it was a sign that Ford and Honda no longer ruled the three-row midsize SUV market. Over the past couple of years, the Telluride has been recognized as one of the best three-row SUVs. We named it the Edmunds Top Rated SUV for 2020 and 2021.

The Nissan Pathfinder has been redesigned for 2022, and with it Nissan hopes to once again compete with the leaders. In this video, Mark Takahashi compares the Nissan Pathfinder and Kia Telluride. How well does the 2022 Pathfinder stack up against the best in class? This is our three-row midsize SUV comparison test of the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder vs. 2021 Kia Telluride.

The Nissan Pathfinder has been known for its spacious cabin and strong towing capabilities. Outside of these features, however, the Pathfinder has struggled to stay afloat in the competitive three-row SUV space. For 2022, Nissan has given the Pathfinder a full redesign to stay competitive with the Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer and Kia Telluride. The new Pathfinder has a more muscular and upright style, improved suspension and steering, additional interior storage and new technology features. For 2022, the Pathfinder's towing capacity sits at 6,000 pounds when equipped with the towing package. Overall, the redesigned 2022 Nissan Pathfinder has the goods to stake a claim in a competitive SUV market.

At Edmunds, we are big fans of the Kia Telluride, the largest SUV in Kia's lineup. We love the Telluride for its smooth ride, luxury-like interior, and spacious third row. Taking the Telluride for a drive is a satisfying experience. The V6 engine is powerful and responsive, while the brakes are strong and stop in a hurry. Inside, the Telluride offers a roomy and upscale-feeling cabin with easy access to the third row. Tech features include numerous collision avoidance systems, adaptive cruise control, and enough USB ports for everyone in the family to plug in. Add all this up and it's easy to see why we consider the Kia Telluride the best three-row midsize SUV.
