Kia Telluride vs. Nissan Pathfinder
What are your favorite things to do with your kids? Making snickerdoodles while a holiday movie plays in the background? Drown pancakes in syrup together every Sunday? Watch them find their perfect stride on the monkey bars? How about teaching them to ride a bike?
Every moment with your kids is precious, which is why you need a reliable ride to help them transition from toddlers to teenagers. Our team at Brown-Daub KIA near Easton, Allentown, and Quakertown, has two options for you to consider: the 2022 Kia Telluride and Nissan Pathfinder.
Dive deep into our comparison below to see which model is perfect for your family.

When your annual family vacation rolls around, you’re going to need an extended vessel that helps you get the R&R you need in no time. Fortunately, both the Kia Telluride and the Nissan Pathfinder are equipped with V6 engines.
However, the difference lies in their power output...
- Kia Telluride engine output: 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque
- Nissan Pathfinder engine output: 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque
Although the difference is slight, it can contribute to how much these models can tow with their base engine equipped.
When properly equipped, the Telluride can haul up to 5,000 pounds, while the Pathfinder falls short at 3,500 pounds of towing capacity.
If you’re looking to take a few jet skis, a lightweight travel trailer, or utility trailer with some snowmobiles on board, both the Kia and the Nissan fit the bill. However, if you need a bigger toy—like a small hard-sided RV or recreational boat—to accommodate your boisterous bunch, you can easily do so with the Kia.
With your babies (or fur babies) on board, you want every drive to be safe. When it comes to the Telluride and Pathfinder, both make your security a priority.
In fact, the Pathfinder is equipped with features similar to these Kia systems:
- Forward Collision Warning
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist-Rear
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Lane Departure Warning
- Driver Attention Warning
Looking for even more safety? The 2022 Kia Telluride leaves no room for accidents or collisions with these additional standard safety features:
- Highway Driving Assist
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Lane Following Assist
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (Pedestrian & Cyclist)
- Safe Exit Assist
Whether you or your teen driver is behind the wheel, you’ll be safe - from your driveway to your destination and back home again - when the Telluride is in your life.
Do you spend a lot of time on the road, dropping your kids off at school, visiting grandma two counties over, or running cookies to your son’s school bake sale? If so, some on-road entertainment provided by the Kia Telluride and Nissan Pathfinder will make each trip memorable.
The Telluride is equipped with a 10.25-inch touchscreen display with built-in navigation. In comparison, the Pathfinder has a standard 8-inch touchscreen display. Plus, its Nissan Door to Door Navigation is available.
So, if you’re looking for a larger display screen for increased visibility, better accessibility to all your favorite apps and streaming platforms, and standard navigation, the Kia Telluride may be your best choice.
