The 2023 Nissan Pathfinder is one of the most sought-after models in the midsize SUV segment, thanks to its spacious and comfortable cabin, expansive cargo space, and generous feature content. This SUV is ideal for drivers with large families as it offers three rows of seats. Check out this detailed guide to learn more about the seating capacity and dimensions of the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder.
Seating Capacity and Dimensions
The seating capacity of the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder varies depending on which configuration you choose. The three-row SUV can accommodate up to eight people if you prefer having a bench seat in the second row. Opting for the second-row captain's chairs reduces the seating capacity to seven, but it provides more space and better comfort for your passengers.
When it comes to seating space, few midsize SUVs can hold a candle to the Pathfinder. This Nissan model provides an incredible 44.3 inches of legroom, 41.1 inches of headroom, and 60.8 inches of shoulder room. Second-row passengers enjoy 35.5 inches of legroom, 38.4 inches of headroom, and 59.6 inches of shoulder room, while those in the third row get 28 inches of legroom, 37.8 inches of headroom, and 58.4 inches of shoulder room.
The first- and second-row seats are spacious enough for passengers of any height to feel comfortable and relaxed. The third row is significantly tighter, but it's still roomier than that of many rival SUVs and can accommodate adults on short trips. Usually, the rearmost seats of a three-row midsize SUV are meant for children or smaller teenage or adult passengers.
Seating Comfort and Features
Seat comfort is an area in which the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder exceeds expectations. Similar to other new Nissan models, this SUV is fitted with the automaker's innovative Zero-Gravity Seats, specially developed to minimize discomfort and tiredness on long drives. While these seats may look like ordinary car seats, you'll feel the difference as soon as you sit on them. They're scientifically engineered to keep your posture in an ideal "weightless" position that puts less strain on your body while driving. Consequently, you'll feel more relaxed and alert, which can help prevent drowsiness and reduce your accident risk.
The seats in the Pathfinder aren't only well-cushioned, supportive, and plush, but they also come with various features to provide even greater comfort for drivers and passengers alike. The entry-level model offers cloth upholstery and manually adjustable front seats as standard equipment. However, if you purchase a package or move up the trim ladder, you can access optional features such as leather upholstery, 10-way power front seats, heated and cooled front seats, heated middle-row seats, and a heated steering wheel. Also, this Nissan is one of the few mainstream SUVs that come standard with tri-zone automatic climate control.
If you regularly drive around with small children, you should be glad to know that the Pathfinder has three sets of LATCH connectors for installing child safety seats. There are two connectors for the outboard seats in the second row and one for the driver's-side seat in the third row. You'll also find tether anchors in the second and third rows. The SUV's LATCH system earned the highest rating of "Good+" from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, with the "+" indicating that it's extremely easy to use and versatile.
Convenience Features
The Nissan Pathfinder has an array of convenience features that can save you time, effort, and hassle. The Nissan SUV offers push-button start and proximity keyless entry on every model, making it easier to lock, unlock, and start your vehicle. Push-button start can also help prevent your vehicle from being stolen, as it will only activate after receiving a signal from your key fob.
For enhanced convenience, you can opt for features including remote start, a universal garage-door opener, and a 120-volt power outlet. Remote start is especially useful during winter and summer when temperatures reach extreme levels. This feature lets you turn on the engine and climate control system from a distance, so you can warm up or cool down the cabin before entering your vehicle.
If you need to work on the go or enjoy taking road trips, it's a good idea to get the 120-volt power outlet. This allows you to conveniently recharge your phone, tablet, or laptop wherever your travels take you.
Cargo Space
Whether you're doing groceries or going on an outdoor adventure with your family, you'll have no trouble fitting all your bags and equipment in the Nissan Pathfinder. This SUV offers 16.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind its rearmost seats, enough for storing a few bags or a load of groceries. If you fold the third row down, you'll open up 45 cubic feet of space. Folding both rear rows yields a maximum cargo capacity of 80.5 cubic feet, which is impressive for a midsize SUV.
While it isn't one of the class leaders in cargo space, the Pathfinder may be functionally comparable to them, thanks to its wide and open cargo area. It can carry long or bulky items such as home improvement materials, gardening supplies, and outdoor recreation equipment. There's also a hidden compartment under the cargo floor to provide extra storage. The SUV comes standard with a manual liftgate, but you can get the optional power liftgate or hands-free power liftgate for easier loading and unloading.
