Comparison Review

Comfort
The Nissan ARIYA offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Nissan Pathfinder, with comparable head- and legroom. 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 Nissan ARIYA.

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 Nissan ARIYA is somewhat more expensive than the Nissan Pathfinder.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan ARIYA is much slimmer than the Nissan Pathfinder, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Nissan ARIYA, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Nissan Pathfinder.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Nissan Pathfinder is clearly the choice over the Nissan ARIYA for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan ARIYA greatly out-muscles the Nissan Pathfinder.

Powertrain
The Nissan ARIYA has much lower torque than the Nissan Pathfinder, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Nissan ARIYA has less seating than the Nissan Pathfinder, making the Nissan Pathfinder the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Nissan ARIYA has significantly less cargo capacity than the Nissan Pathfinder.
