They may not readily fall into the sweet spot of driving enthusiasts, but our year-long test of this Nissan is proving to be an object lesson in why crossovers are so popular - especially large ones like our three-row Pathfinder. In fact, it’s been so busy that it’s hardly been at a standstill long enough to pen an update, which is why this one is late.
