TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 GMC Acadia doesn’t stand out but is a solid choice for those who only need a third row occasionally.

The 2019 Nissan Pathfinder has value and interior flexibility as its assets, but this crossover SUV is ripe for a redesign.

TCC Likes

Refined interior
Great ride quality
Handles well

Comfortable interior
Active safety tech standard
Strong V-6 engine

TCC Dislikes

Skip the base 4-cylinder
Third row is tight even for kids
Narrow cabin

Outdated infotainment
Subpar outward vision
Land yacht handling
