The top model Ti-L comes with a full shopping list of safety, little luxuries and comfort features.

Front two seats are like a lounge chair, with multiple adjustments available and both heated and cooled.

The middle two seats are equally comfortable and the third row, while ok, are best left to shorter trips for younger passengers.

The model we drove has a clever all-wheel drive system and is powered by a 3.5litre V6 petrol engine. There is no hybrid version though.

Transmission is a smooth nine speed automatic transmission that always seems to be in the right gear.

Economy can be relatively frugal or heavy depending on circumstances.  It will coast easily around town which is a good thing.

Driving the Pathfinder is easy, but the over bonnet view is a little restricted. The internal layout works well and looks impressive.

I can see this being an ideal family SUV that likes to go on snow holidays or tow a smaller boat or caravan.

Nissan Pathfinder Ti-L is priced from $80,277 plus the usual costs.

The post We drive the Nissan Pathfinder TI-L for 2023 review appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The Pathfinder has morphed over its 30 year history, from rugged dual range 4wd, through to soft roader and now returns somewhat to its roots with an on demand single range 4WD system depending on the model.

The new model comes with one engine, a 3.5L V6 Petrol delivering 202kW / 340Nm and drives through a nine speed AT.

There are four models. The ST 2WD, ST-L AWD. The Ti comes in either 2WD or AWD and the top spec TI-L comes in AWD only.

Most models have 8 seats, but the top spec TI-L has seven, with middle row captain’s chairs that are heated for extra comfort on cold days.

Both rear seats fold flat for a cavernous cargo area. And an abstract fact, there are 16 cup holders, for eight people.

The new Pathfinder has a 2700kg tow rating with a 270kg tow ball weight. That’s more than a Kluger, Sorrento or Santa Fe, and firmly sets the Pathfinder in the adventure category. Perfect for weekend adventures with boats, jet skis, camper trailers and more

Having the Pathfinder back, gives buyers yet another choice in an already crowded and competitive segment that is embracing hybrid and PEV engines.

Pricing is from $54,190 through to $80,227 plus the usual costs.
