Technology, power and comfort in the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder

The 2023 Nissan Pathfinder marks the rebirth of a vehicle long recognized for its exceptional capabilities, both on and off the road. Fully revamped last year, it’s back with a bang this year with the Rock Creek Edition, featuring an adventurous spirit, all while retaining the comfort and technology that have allowed the Pathfinder to excel.

The powerful, dynamic 2023 Pathfinder

Most versions of the Nissan Pathfinder boast an engine known for its resilience and dependability. Specifically, it’s a 3.5 L 284-horsepower V6 engine, which Ward’s has ranked as one of the best in the world in recent years. The automaker has paired this engine with a nine-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the previous continuously variable transmission.

The Rock Creek Edition with its enhanced suspension, more imposing wheels and supplemental protective features is more demanding. As a result, it avails of a reworked version of the same engine, offering up to 295 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The automatic transmission is also an essential part of this powertrain.

Nissan has equipped all versions of the 2023 Pathfinder with Intelligent 4×4, including selectable drive modes that enable the vehicle to tackle road conditions and trails of every kind. What’s more, with its new boost of power, it can now tow up to 6,000 pounds. To do so, it utilizes Tow mode, which includes standard Downhill Speed Control and Trailer Sway Control.

Comfort and modernity in the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder

All eight passengers (depending on the version) aboard the Nissan Pathfinder will enjoy enhanced comfort, thanks to three rows of seats with optional leather upholstery. The large SUV even comes with the EZ Flex system, which allows the second row seats to tilt and glide forward for easy access to the back row.

Nissan engineers have designed the layout of the cabin to ensure safety and a quiet ride, notably thanks to improved soundproofing. A digital instrument panel, head-up display and large optional nine-inch touchscreen provide direct access to information on the vehicle’s operation and performance, as well as the controls of the infotainment system, which includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.

When it comes to safety, the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder doesn’t fail to impress, as it comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360, a suite of sophisticated Nissan Intelligent Mobility features. It also comes with ProPILOT Assist, a driver-assistance system that adjusts the speed of the vehicle, helping it maintain a safe distance from potential obstacles.

This is only a small sampling of the long list of features the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder has to offer. There’s no better way to discover all the rest than by paying a visit to Solution Nissan in Châteauguay.
