2023 Nissan Pathfinder SUV

The 2023 Nissan Pathfinder is ready to replace your minivan with three-row seating and the ability to seat eight passengers. The Pathfinder is the perfect blend of ruggedness and purpose as it debuts this generation with its first redesign since 2013 for the 2022 model year. You can expect this midsize SUV to provide you with comfort, towing, and off-road capabilities that challenge its rivals. Equipped with a V-6 engine and a new 9-speed automatic transmission, the Pathfinder is ready to handle who and what you want to bring with you. Front-wheel-drive (FWD) comes standard, but the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder does offer all-wheel-drive (AWD) as an option for Auburn drivers who plan to go off-roading, or better handle the changeable weather and road conditions of the Pacific Northwest. 

The Pathfinder offers a host of standard driver-assistance and infotainment features that entertain passengers with even more optional advanced technology available.

It’s impressive what the Pathfinder is capable of doing: tow up to 6,000 pounds and haul eight passengers in comfort, style, and with the latest in technology. 

Seven available drive modes keep the driver in control on and off the road with the help of an electric steering rack. 

The interior also gets a new look that allows the driver to choose between bench seats for this three-row SUV and captain’s chairs. You can expect more storage as well, with Nissan adding cubbies, including a large bin below the center console accessible to front-seat passengers and drivers.

You will also spend less time fueling up the Pathfinder, with an EPA rating of 21 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined. 

This three-row SUV  keeps its 3.5-liter V-6 engine that generates 284-hp and drops the continuously-variable automatic transmission (CVT) for a nine-speed automatic transmission. All models come standard with front-wheel drive (FWD), but you can choose to swap it out for an all-wheel drive (AWD) no matter which trim level you select. Not only does the all-wheel drive setup make the Pathfinder more capable, but it also doesn’t interfere with the fuel economy hardly at all with only an estimated loss of 1 mpg highway over the front-wheel drive configuration. If you do choose to upgrade your Pathfinder to an AWD system it includes a set of seven drive modes that include off-road-focused Sand and Mud/Rut modes. The Pathfinder has refined suspension technology and increased sound-deadening material in order to create a relaxed and comfortable experience in the cabin even during off road adventures. The Pathfinder can tow up to 6000 pounds meaning that you can carry everyone and your toys wherever you need to go.

The exterior of the Pathfinder was redesigned in 2022 and maintains the futuristic and symmetrical design for the 2023 model year.
