Interior Comfort, Space, and Family-Ready Design

Step inside the 2026 Nissan Pathfinder and you’ll immediately notice how thoughtfully designed the cabin is. This three-row SUV seats seven or eight passengers, depending on configuration. SV models come standard with an eight-passenger layout and a 60/40 split-folding second-row bench, while captain’s chairs are available on select trims for easier third-row access.

Passenger space is generous across all rows. Front legroom measures 44.3 inches, second-row legroom comes in at 35.5 inches, and the third row provides 28.0 inches, making it one of the more usable third rows in its class.

Cargo versatility is a major highlight. You’ll get:

• 16.6 cubic feet behind the third row
• 45.0 cubic feet behind the second row
• 80.5 cubic feet behind the first row

There’s also a 54.1-liter underfloor storage compartment in the cargo area for added organization. Grocery hooks, side-mounted tie-down hooks, and available power outlets in the cargo area make loading up for road trips or weekend projects simple.

Families will appreciate the strong child safety support, including LATCH anchors in the second and third rows, child safety rear door locks, rear door alert, and rear seat belt reminders.

Upholstery options range from cloth (SV) to leatherette (Rock Creek), TailorFit-appointed seating (SL), and semi-aniline quilted leather in Platinum. Heated front seats are standard across trims, while Platinum adds heated and cooled front seats plus heated second-row outboard seats.

Tri-zone automatic climate control comes standard, keeping front and rear passengers comfortable during hot Brownsville summers.

Performance, Engine Specs, and Capability

Every 2026 Nissan Pathfinder is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine (VQ35DD).
