Comparison Review

Comfort
The Nissan Pathfinder offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volkswagen ID.4, with comparable head- and legroom. The Nissan Pathfinder will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen ID.4.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Nissan Pathfinder will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volkswagen ID.4.

When considering towing capacity, the Nissan Pathfinder is clearly the choice over the Volkswagen ID.4 for pulling heavy loads. The Nissan Pathfinder has a little less horsepower than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Powertrain
