Big, bold, and beautiful, the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder is a lovely luxurious SUV with plenty of space for the family. Boasting 4WD, with the Pathfinder you have that go anywhere, anytime attitude to make all your off-road adventures come true. Right from the outset, the spacious Pathfinder cabin wins votes for style and features, and, if you’re right into taking the long drive home, then the Pathfinder is a smooth operator with comfortable seats.
How big is the new Pathfinder? At over 5 metres long the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder is a perfect family wagon. You can happily seat seven, and even with the third row occupied there is still a handy 205 litres of space for the groceries. Flip the third row flat, which is how it’s likely to be for most of the time, and then you’ve got an amazing 557 litres to fill with anything you fancy – even a big St Bernard. Own a Pathfinder and you could just find yourself a popular parent for school trips and birthday gigs.
Then there’s that chic look. You can’t resist those stylish head lamps and a grille surrounded with a thick border of chrome. Big stylish alloys run with large tyres that can be upgraded for even more terrain conquering rubber. This is a big SUV and it has loads of road presence. A high waistline with a low-profile roof keeps the large SUV looking purposeful and athletic. Nissan has cleverly formed the Pathfinder into what is an elegant family wagon/come 4×4.
Nissan makes the buyer’s choice easy with the offering of just two models. Both are well-equipped, the Ti-L being slightly more of a show off than the Ti. However, both use the exceptionally smooth 3.5-litre V6 ULP engine and 9-speed automatic gearbox. The blend of running gear makes for a very silky experience, even when off-road modes are selected. 202 kW is on tap, and there is a healthy 340 Nm of torque to pull you out of trouble. Nissan rates the new Pathfinder capable of towing up to 2700 kg braked or 750 kg unbraked. Hill-hold decent and traction control, low and high gearbox ratios, and 4×4 On Demand mean that you can take this to the bush and beyond.
Nissan’s 2023 Pathfinder is ANCAP 5-star safe, there are cameras all around the car which are actively working in all situations to keep you and your occupants safe while driving. Crash avoidance technology, active cruise control, automatic headlights, park assist – it’s all there. Currently, from personal observation at the local shopping market carpark, one of the most coveted features of a modern vehicle isn’t whether it’s an EV, nor the length of the DRL, but whether or not your boot can be opened electronically without a key. This feature alone gets a bystander’s look of admiration 10 times the spectacle of other fancy doo-dad’s on show at the mall. Who cares if you can warm up your car via your Smartphone in the shop, powered hands-free tailgate operation is all the rage, and the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder has got that all important box ticked!
Both models can have a sound system boasting up to 20 speakers of audio excellence. Play this LOUD at the local shopping market carpark, and you might just score the full 10 for best bystander reactions! A fully digital driver’s display, GPS navigation mapping, a Heads-up information display, multiple inputs for various devices are present front and rear, an on-board speed limiter can be activated along with a speed zone reminder and road sign recognition. Even your tyre pressures are monitored. Leather-like seats are superbly comfortable and very pleasant on the eye – not to mention bum. Voice recognition and loads of cabin storage make this one of the best vehicles of its type on the market.
And, it’s not all that expensive for all of what you get. It has to be considered a bargain in the luxury SUV marketplace. So smooth and so nice!
