We say valuable in this context because the 2019 Pathfinder gives you incredible performance with the best bang for your buck! While the Toyota Highlander has a slight edge in both horsepower and torque, that’s an extra $4,000 you’d have to spend to get that performance. Meanwhile, the Pathfinder still has an impressive horsepower of 284-hp and torque of 259 lb-ft., and it’s able to tow 1,000 lbs. more than the Highlander!
Exceptional Cabin Space

In addition to getting a great value for its performance, the Pathfinder also leads the way in providing ample interior space for you and your passengers! With more than ample legroom in both the 2nd and 3rd row, as well as a cavernous cargo capacity, the Pathfinder once again offers you great value!

Final Results
Both of these midsized SUVs are worthy competitors, but as the title says, there can only be one winner. And despite a strong showing from the Toyota Highlander, it’s the 2019 Nissan Pathfinder that ends up on top thanks to its combination of superior cargo space, passenger room, and towing capacity. The fact that it’s also cheaper than the Highlander is just icing on the cake.
