Infiniti's three-row family hauler splits cleanly at 2022: before that year, you're buying a Pathfinder in a tuxedo with a CVT that grenades itself before 100k miles, and after it you're getting a genuinely improved interior wrapped around a wheezy turbocharged four-cylinder that takes eight full seconds to drag 4,700 pounds to highway speed. The current version looks sharp and undercuts German rivals by $15k, but the ride is stiff and loud for something wearing a luxury badge, and you're still paying a $15k premium over the mechanically identical Pathfinder for nicer leather and a different grille. One owner made it to 400k miles on a 2015, but that's the exception that proves the rule, most pre-2022 owners are nursing failed transmissions, dead alternators, and $5k timing chain bills while watching their resale value crater. Buy the new one if you want Highlander space without the Toyota tax and can live with the gutless engine, or skip the brand entirely if you're shopping used.
If you're shopping used, know that 2017-2022 Compass models have a documented pattern of auxiliary batteries dying every few years, head gaskets failing before 100k miles, and cooling systems that can strand you days after purchase. The 2023 redesign swapped in a 2.0L turbo and appears to have fixed the major gremlins, but there's no long-term proof yet. Even owners who've had decent luck admit a Mazda CX-5 or Honda CR-V costs about the same and won't keep you up at night. The Trailhawk trim offers real off-road chops if you need that, but multiple mechanics in these threads won't touch the brand themselves. Buy new if you must, avoid the Tigershark era entirely.
