Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Wrangler than in the Nissan Pathfinder. The Nissan Pathfinder will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Jeep Wrangler.

Convenience
With the Nissan Pathfinder, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Jeep Wrangler, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Jeep Wrangler is somewhat more expensive than the Nissan Pathfinder.

Dimensions
Since the Jeep Wrangler is much slimmer than the Nissan Pathfinder, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Jeep Wrangler is slightly shorter than the Nissan Pathfinder, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Jeep Wrangler will do just as well as the Nissan Pathfinder, since they have about the same towing capacity. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Jeep Wrangler and the Nissan Pathfinder.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the Jeep Wrangler and the Nissan Pathfinder are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Utility
The Jeep Wrangler has less seating than the Nissan Pathfinder, making the Nissan Pathfinder the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Jeep Wrangler has less cargo space than the Nissan Pathfinder, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
