Meet The 2023 Nissan Pathfinder: Specs, A New Trim, & More

2023 Nissan Pathfinder: Specs

While there are almost half a dozen trims available for the sleek new 2023 Nissan Pathfinder, all of them use (more or less) the same engine. The 3.5-liter V-6 makes a throaty roar when you start it up, and its specs match the lovely sound: the Nissan Pathfinder V-6 makes 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque. The Rock Creek model, however, uses different tuning to get 295 horsepower out of the engine.

The vehicle comes standard with front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available. The nine-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, making for a pleasant driving experience. The car's ability to glide over the road belies its power, however. The 2023 Nissan Pathfinder can leap from 0 to 60 in less than seven seconds, beating many rivals in its class.

This powerful vehicle supplements its spacious interior with a great towing capacity. With a maximum towing load of 6,000 pounds,¹ the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder can help you bring the family boat or pop-up trailer along for a weekend getaway. This vehicle can do it all.

2023 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Edition

The most significant change in the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder lineup is the addition of the Rock Creek trim. The equipment on this vehicle is clearly designed to improve its off-roading chops, making this an attractive choice for bold and adventurous folks. It's the penultimate trim, second only to the top-tier Nissan Pathfinder Platinum.

The Rock Creek trim includes a wide variety of great features and creature comforts. It has a lifted suspension, custom 18-inch wheels, specialized bumpers in the front and back, and all-wheel drive as a standard inclusion. The interior of a 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek vehicle has unique vinyl and cloth upholstery with orange stitching and Rock Creek badges throughout the cabin. This trim boasts style and adventure in one package.

We're still waiting on an exact Rock Creek price, but we'll update you when pricing information is made available. The other 2023 Nissan Pathfinder trims are the entry-level S, the SV, the mid-tier SL, and the top-level Platinum trim. The SL trim, for example, comes standard with a larger touch screen, a 360-degree safety camera, and wireless cell phone connectivity.

Each trim choice offers luxuries and comfort, in addition to compelling performance potential and great value for your money. If you have any questions about the different versions of the new Nissan Pathfinder, be sure to give us a call.

2023 Nissan Pathfinder Interior

The interior of the new Nissan Pathfinder is just as impressive as the specs and exterior of the car. It's designed to carry the entire family and their gear comfortably. The vehicle comes with two bench seats in the second and third rows, but you can swap the second-row bench for a pair of captain's chairs. This reduces the seating capacity to seven, but it allows everyone to climb into the third row more easily. You can customize the vehicle to your specific needs.

The 2023 Nissan Pathfinder comes standard with a touch screen that is eight inches on most models but nine inches on the SL and Platinum versions of the vehicle. Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® will allow you to easily control your music choices while the six-speaker sound system envelops your family in it. Folks looking for a more refined acoustic experience can opt for a 13-speaker Bose® setup instead.

Upper-level trims of the car enjoy luxuries include semi-aniline leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof that bathes the cabin in real light, heated and ventilated seats in the front row, a wireless device charging pad, and more. These features will help make even the longest drives comfortable for drivers and passengers alike.
