But while the Nissan starts and ends there, the Dodge is just getting started.įirst, let’s get the proletariat powertrains out of the way. Yes, both models offer a base V-6 with nearly identical displacement and horsepower figures. This is, without a doubt, where the Pathfinder and the Durango couldn’t be more different. That said, nobody will mistake it for a new SUV - and its age becomes especially apparent when parked next to the Nissan. While the new, sharp-edged Pathfinder has definitely improved its styling game over its blubbery predecessor, the more noteworthy feat might be that the Durango still looks fresh after ten years on the market. It sports a front fascia similar to that of the Dodge Charger and Challenger, and the performance models add elements like big wheels, fender flares, and gaping hood scoops. The Durango, meanwhile, leaned into Dodge’s muscle-car root.
The Nissan aims for trendy off-road vibes, using lots of hard angles and chunky elements to achieve a tough, trail-ready look. The Pathfinder and the Durango each chart their own unique course when it comes to design.
A mere 1.5 additional cubic feet behind the third row and five cubes in total are all the Durango has on the Pathfinder, which points to superior space utilization on the new Nissan SUV. Oddly enough, all that extra wheelbase of the Durango doesn’t translate into significantly more space.

It also rides a wheelbase that stretches a full six inches longer than its Japanese rival. Right off the bat, the Durango comes in as the burlier of the SUVs: it’s longer, lower, and just as wide as the Pathfinder.
