2023 Nissan Pathfinder Model Review - Scottsdale, AZ

What's New for the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder?

This year, Nissan has added an off-road-ready Rock Creek trim to the Pathfinder's lineup. It's geared toward families that enjoy an outdoor lifestyle.

What Are the 2023 Pathfinder Trims & Features?

Nissan offers this three-row SUV in five trim grades: S, SV, SL, Rock Creek, and Platinum. Even the entry-level S trim proves to be a rewarding choice. Its stylish exterior features standard LED headlights and 18-inch alloy wheels. On the inside, you'll find a modern NissanConnect infotainment system. It features an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration and voice recognition. Just a few of the other standard features include a hands-free Text Messaging Assistant, Nissan Intelligent Key with push-button start, and tri-zone automatic temperature control.

If you crave more creature comforts, step up to the Pathfinder SV. Some of its upgrades include heated front seats, an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, and a remote engine starting with Intelligent Climate Control.

The leather-appointed SL trim allows you to experience more luxury. This upscale trim receives ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, which is one of today's most advanced adaptive cruise control systems. It promises to make your drive less stressful. Other niceties include a larger 9.0-inch touchscreen with Nissan Door-to-Door Navigation, a wireless charger, and an Intelligent Around View Monitor camera system.

The all-new Rock Creek trim comes ready to go off-road. It comes standard with a capable 4WD system. All-terrain tires, a suspension lift, and a revised lower bumper further aid the SUV's ability to explore the rough backcountry.

No other trim is as luxurious as the range-topping Pathfinder Platinum. Some of its premium amenities consist of ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a 13-speaker Bose sound system.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2023 Pathfinder Have?

The Pathfinder's brawny V6 engine produces a healthy 284 horsepower, which enables you to tow up to 6,000 pounds. However, special engine tuning enables the new Rock Creek trim to develop 295 horsepower. All versions of the Pathfinder use a nine-speed automatic transmission.

What Safety Features Does the 2023 Pathfinder Include?

Nissan Safety Shield 360 equips the new Pathfinder with several reassuring safety technologies. Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot warning, lane departure warning and rear automatic braking all come standard.
