Nissan Pathfinder Engine Power & Performance

The Nissan Pathfinder offers an impressive performance with its equipped 3.5L Direct Injection Gasoline™ V6 engine. This engine comes paired with the Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission) and can produce 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. The direct injection limits the amount of fuel pumped into the combustion chamber, allowing the vehicle to get the most out of its fuel without wasting any. Depending on the configuration, the Nissan Pathfinder can tow 6,000 pounds, allowing you to bring more cargo on the road.

Pathfinder Interior Space

The Pathfinder interior opens up with 154 cubic feet of space for the seven passengers it can carry. Front-row passengers get 42.2 inches of headroom and 42.2 inches of legroom, while passengers in the second row get 39.4 inches of headroom and 41.7 inches of legroom. Third-row passengers get 37.8 inches of headroom and 30.7 inches of legroom.

The interior configurations allow you to expand the overall cargo space in the cabin. The Pathfinder features the EZ Flex® seating system, with a 60/40 split bench in the second row and the 50/50 split third-row bench. The Pathfinder includes 16 cubic feet of cargo space which expands to 41.8 cubic feet with the third row down and 79.5 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded flat.

Entertainment & Technology

The Nissan Pathfinder is equipped with some pretty interesting technology and features. The interior includes the 8-inch color touchscreen display that drivers can use to select their media preferences, including the radio, CD player, HD Radio®, SiriusXM® (3-month trial), the Bluetooth®-paired smartphone, or the media player that’s connected through the USB port or auxiliary input.
