2023 Nissan Pathfinder

The Nissan Pathfinder is an excellent SUV for families. It offers more than enough cabin space and top-rated hauling capabilities for weekend excursions while still offering a superbly smooth ride. In 2023, Nissan continued with the Pathfinder’s recipe for success with a few additional slight tweaks.

Upgrades From 2022

Nissan introduced a new off-roading Rock Creek trim in 2023 for drivers looking for enhanced trail-blazing fun. This trim has distinguishable all-terrain wheels that are 45.72cm in size, unique stitching and badging on the seats, a more powerful engine, and a lowered bumper with a revamped grille. Additionally, the S and SV models get more standard driver safety aids, and the SL trim has added standard wireless mobile phone charging.

Engine and Performance

The SUV keeps its V6 3.5L engine with standard FWD from 2022. However, the transmission has changed from CVT to a nine-speed automatic with a maximum power output of 259 lb-ft of torque and 284 hp. You can expect to get approximately 11.6L/100km in the city, 9.2L/100km on the highway, and 10.5L/100km combined. The Rock Creek trim has slightly more power at 295 hp.

All trims can be upgraded to AWD, which gives you seven added drive modes that will give you more grip in muddy and sand conditions. Under test conditions, the AWD configuration raced to 100km/h in 6.6 seconds, and the FWD was one second faster. It must also be mentioned that the cabin is extremely quiet, and the ride is exceptionally smooth when you use cruise mode.

The Pathfinder S trim can haul a maximum weight of 1587.57kg. However, if you upgrade to the SV or upper trims, you’ll get all the necessary equipment to tow up to 2721.55kg. Trailer sway control is standard across all models. With the 70-litre fuel tank, you’ll get an estimated 231.33km.

Exterior

The S and SV trims have standard all-terrain 45.72cm alloy wheels, and all upper models have 50.8cm wheels. Standard exterior features include dual-power outside mirrors, body colour door handles, LED taillamps, and rear privacy glass. The SV and upper models have a panoramic sunroof and a motion-activated power liftgate.

Interior

The cabin can seat eight occupants comfortably, and you’ll be able to carry a maximum cargo of 2279.5 litres. The interior design is modern, with proper placement of controls. You have the option to replace the second-row seats with captain’s chairs (which will reduce the passenger capacity to seven). All upper trims have ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and semi-leather seat covers.

Driver-Assistance Features

ProPILOT Assist with cruise control is standard in all trims, and the SV trim gets an intelligent surround-view monitor. Other essential driver-assistance tech include emergency braking. Blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning. Adaptive cruise control is available with semi-independent driving mode.
