2023 Nissan Pathfinder Interior

The interior of the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder looks and feels different from trim level to trim level. Lower priced models come with cloth seats, while more expensive ones are outfitted with faux or real leather. These materials are available in a number of color options, including Charcoal, Light Gray, and Chestnut. There's always plenty of technology on board to accommodate passengers, from a built-in infotainment system with smartphone compatibility to USB charging ports. The Pathfinder's seats are spacious and offer a great degree of comfort. They can even be adjusted or folded down for extra cargo.


2023 Nissan Pathfinder Levels

When it comes to a purchase as big as that of a new vehicle, you want to do it right. Getting your money's worth starts with knowing what options are available to you.

The Nissan Pathfinder comes in four levels: S, SV, SL and Platinum. Read below for a breakdown of each of these trims and what they have to offer.


Pathfinder S

The S establishes the standards for the rest of the Pathfinders in the series. Like all of the models to come, it's powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine capable of generating 284 horsepower and 259 pounds-feet of torque. Paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, this SUV is standard two-wheel drive - but it's available with four-wheel drive for a slightly higher price. It’s also worth noting that the 2023 Pathfinder is not built on a truck frame. It falls into the category of a car-based crossover SUV with off-roader features.

Upon looking inside the vehicle, you'll have a hard time remembering that this is the base trim of the Pathfinder lineup. Few entry-level options come with so many advanced features; everything from Auto/Apple CarPlay and satellite radio to an eight-inch infotainment display, six-speaker sound system and USB with external media control are included as standard.

More for Passengers to Love

There are extra conveniences for passengers as well, such as one-touch power windows. These make it easy to quickly roll down the windows without having to hold the button. Comfortable cloth bucket seats provide riders with support and ample space, while a standard hands-free entry system and heated mirrors add another layer of value for drivers who need to keep their trips as efficient as possible.

A Show-Stopping Exterior

The 2023 Pathfinder S gives you four exterior colors to choose from. Whichever you choose, 18-inch dark-painted alloy wheels will compliment it well. As a combined aesthetic and functional feature, this vehicle is designed with particularly large front LED headlights that give you great visibility of the road ahead. Their daytime running feature also helps to keep you safe and seen while driving.

Excellent Towing Power

For those who have a lot to haul, the S offers a large 3,500 lbs of towing capacity, plus an optional cargo package upgrade. The manual folding bench third row seats also make room for extra storage space should you need it.

Standout Features:

  • Nissan IntelligentKey With Push-Button Ignition: When carried on you, the Nissan IntelligentKey allows you to lock and unlock your Pathfinder's door with nothing more than the press of a button.

  • Advanced DriveAssist Display: Integrated into the center of the instrument cluster, this LCD screen displays important information like navigation settings, maps, trip computer data, call interactions, and service warnings as you drive.


Pathfinder SV

The 2023 SV continues the standards set by its predecessor and takes them to another level. By going with this trim, you'll have access to all of the aforementioned features, plus some extra standard upgrades. The first of these is color - both the interior and exterior have a new one to offer. The

Advanced Comfort

But your drive is nothing if not comfortable - that's why Nissan included enhancements on this front as well. 10-way power adjustable driver's seats with two-way power lumbar settings are just one example of how long trips are made easier by the Pathfinder. Tri-zone temperature control is another. There's also front, rear and third row cup holders, front seatback storage, dual illuminating vanity mirrors, and multilevel seat heating, among more great perks.

Great Drivability

Wrapped in premium leather and built with integrated audio controls, it isn't hard to keep your hands on the wheel of this vehicle at all times. Cruise control, climate control, keyless entry, and keyless start make long trips even easier. Pathfinder SV is also the first of the 2023 series to include a standard Wi-Fi hotspot and lane keeping assist, tying together what was an already expectation-exceeding package.

Standout Features

  • NissanConnect Services: Never feel lost again with access to voice-guided navigation, Points Of Interest search, and real time traffic information.

  • ProPILOT Assist: The Nissan ProPILOT Assist system is designed to help you maintain an ideal position on the road at all times.


ROCK CREEK®

If you plan on using your vehicle for non-domestic purposes, look no further than the ROCK CREEK® trim. A four-wheel drive beast, this model specifically caters to those who like to venture off the beaten path. It's the only SUV in the Pathfinder series to differ in terms of horsepower and torque, offering a larger 295 and 270, respectively. The curb weight is about 400 pounds heavier than that of the SV at 4,605 lbs, while the towing capacity is nearly doubled to 6,000 lbs.

More Space for Cargo

Another big difference between this vehicle and the others is seating. Despite being the same size, the ROCK CREEK® trim includes seven rather than eight seats. This can be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it - unless you have a necessity for eight-passenger capacity at all times, you'll appreciate the extra cargo space that comes with seven seats. The higher price tag of this model comes with added luxuries, such as charcoal leatherette seating and plenty more exterior color options.

Off-Road Features

When you're ready to hit the trail, rest assured that the ROCK CREEK® trim's off-road tuned suspension will be up for the job. This vehicle's standard Intelligent 4x4 technology gives it the capacity to take on practically any road, and its Intelligent Around View® Monitor comes with Off-Road Mode should you choose to ditch them altogether.

On top of it all, Nissan has opted to incorporate several extra touches to make the ROCK CREEK® all-the-more tactical. This includes a tow hitch receiver and harness, large LED fog lights, a black tubular roof rack, and 265/60/18 all-season tires.

Standout Features:

  • 265/60/18 All-Season Tires: Winter? Summer? Somewhere in-between? The ROCK CREEK® trim's all-season tires are designed to drive smoothly in any type of exterior condition.

  • Exclusive ROCK CREEK® Badging: Flaunt the fact that you drive a ROCK CREEK® Pathfinder with exclusive seat badging and stitching.


Pathfinder SL

Taking things back to regular programming, the Pathfinder SL can be best explained as an augmentation of the SV. Stepping up to the trim essentially expands everything you love about the prior one while adding even more features to the mix.

More Technology

One notable upgrade comes in the front row, with a larger nine-inch infotainment system. While other trim levels include Apple CarPlay, it gains wireless connectivity capabilities here. Other new bells and whistles include a power liftgate, ten-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, heated steering wheel, wireless charging pad, rear-window sunshades, third-row USB chargers, and an additional 12-volt DC power outlet. Perfect for all that tech.

Advanced Driver Assistance Features

The SV also offers a suite of advanced driver assistance features to take advantage of, from front parking sensors, traffic-sign recognition, and navigation-assisted adaptive cruise control to an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror and 360-degree camera system. You even have the option to upgrade to a premium sound system or up the ante even further with one of several additional packages.


Added Visual Appeal

As for aesthetics, there's no shortage of options with this trim level. It comes in 12 different exterior color designs, including Obsidian Green Pearl and Solid Gray/Super Black. The interior leather seating is available in either Charcoal or Light Grey.

Standout Features:

  • NissanConnect Nine-Inch Display: The nine-inch NissanConnect touchscreen display is larger than those in the S, SV, and ROCK CREEK® trims.

  • Wireless Charger: No cord? No time? No problem. The 2023 Nissan Pathfinder SL is equipped with a wireless charging pad, meaning you can get your phone juiced up while on the go.


Pathfinder PLATINUM

Now for the final trim level - last, but the exact opposite of least. As its name suggests, PLATINUM is about as good as the Pathfinder series gets. From the outside, it visually stands out from the rest with larger 20-inch dark metallic gray alloy wheels, added chrome body-side moldings and expanded color options.

Premium Interior Features

The inside is also revamped with bronze metallic trim, interior accent lighting, and luxurious semi-aniline leather upholstery with quilted inserts. Did we mention a panoramic sunroof? That comes standard in this model, as does a power tilting steering column, hands-free power tailgate, and power-folding side mirrors.

Passengers are afforded extra luxuries such as added ventilation, expanded heating, and powered seats. You and them both will love the PLATINUM's premium audio system, complete with 13 Bose speakers for a truly immersive listening experience.

Enhanced Performance and Reliability

The 2023 PLATINUM is inherently functional thanks to its wealth of performance and usability features. The trim comes with the Towing Package as standard, something you'd have to pay more for with other Pathfinders. With this upgrade, you'll be able to haul as much as 6,000 lbs of cargo with ease. The transmission cooler is improved, while seat memory and a heads-up display are added for even more convenience.

Standout Features:

  • Chestnut Seating Color: The PLATINUM's interior is available in an exclusive chestnut seating color, which you won't find on any other model.

  • Heads Up Display: Get information at a glance with the Heads Up Display, which projects important data directly into your line of sight.
