With a spacious cabin that has room for up to eight people, the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder is perfect for family trips. Its spacious interior helps to deliver a smooth and comfortable ride that is convenient for both long road trips and daily commutes.
A V-6 engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional and gives the Pathfinder some off-road capability, although it won’t touch a Jeep or a Bronco on the trail.
Across all the Nissan models, it is only the Pathfinder that can tow. Its 6000 pounds of towing capability bests rivals such as the Hyundai Palisade, the Kia Telluride, and the Toyota Highlander.
Engine & Performance
Leasing the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder gives you access to enjoy high performance and off-road capability. While the Pathfinder retains the 3.5-liter V-6 from the previous-generation model, it drops the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) in favor of a new nine-speed automatic.
Front-wheel drive is standard but all trims can be equipped with all-wheel drive. Upgrading to the all-wheel-drive system also adds a set of seven drive modes, including off-road-focused Sand and Mud/Rut models.
The all-wheel-drive Pathfinder is faster than the Kia Telluride and the Toyota Highlander. Handling is utterly forgettable and not in the least entertaining, but the Pathfinder’s ride is fairly smooth, and Nissan’s attention to sound-deadening elements makes the cabin extra quiet when cruising.
Fuel Economy
According to the EPA, the most efficient Pathfinder is actually the one with optional all-wheel drive, which earned ratings of 21 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined; the front-wheel-drive model earned the same city and combined ratings but only 26 mpg highway.
Interior
The Pathfinder sports a modern and trucklike interior design with comfortable front seats and well-placed controls. Three rows of seating can accommodate up to eight riders, but you can choose to swap the standard second-row bench seat for captain’s chairs, reducing capacity to seven.
Nissan has integrated storage cubbies throughout the cabin, including a large bin below the center console that’s accessible by the driver or front-seat passenger. Upper trim levels come appropriately decked out with luxuries such as semi-aniline leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
All Pathfinders come with a host of driver-assistance features as standard, including automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high-beam headlamps. A semi-autonomous driving mode that Nissan calls.
The key safety features include:
- Semi-autonomous driving mode
- Adaptive cruise control
- Pedestrian detection
- Lane-departure warning
- Standard automated emergency braking
- Standard blind-spot monitoring
