The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder can seat seven to eight passengers, depending on whether your model has a standard second-row bench seat or two second-row captain’s chairs.

The Nissan Pathfinder is a great choice for growing families due to its three rows of seats, comfortable and quiet cabin, and plenty of cargo space. Thanks to an exterior refresh for the 2022 model year, the Pathfinder will be sure to turn heads while you’re on the road.

If you’re looking to haul the family (and maybe even a couple of friends) to and fro, you’ll want to get the nitty-gritty on the Pathfinder’s seating capacity.

How many seats does the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder have?

That all depends on the trim level you choose for your Pathfinder. The Pathfinder comes standard with eight seats on the following trims:

The option to swap out the second-row bench seat for a pair of captain’s chairs is limited to the Platinum trim only. This will knock the Pathfinder’s seating capacity down to seven.

Do all Pathfinders have three rows of seats?

Yes, all Pathfinders have three rows of seating. As mentioned, your seating capacity will depend on whether you opt for a Platinum model with captain’s chairs over the second-row bench seat. But every 2022 Pathfinder will have three rows of seats.

Cargo space

With all seats down, the Nissan Pathfinder sports 80.5 cubic feet of cargo space, which is fine, but truly nothing special. With just the third row of seats down, the Pathfinder has 45 cubic feet of cargo space, and with all seats up, you’ll have just 16.6 cubic feet of space.

A comparable three-row SUV is the Nissan Armada, which gets a more robust 95.4 cubic feet of space with all of its seats folded down, but again just 16 cubic feet with all three rows of seats upright. Granted, the Nissan Armada is priced at just over $51,000, so you’ll have to pay a premium if you want more space while remaining in the Nissan realm.

Which Nissan vehicles can seat eight people?

If the Nissan Pathfinder doesn’t float your boat,

the Nissan Armada has an 8-passenger seating capacity

as well, although the Armada won’t come cheap, with a starting price of $51,595.

Besides its powerful 400-horsepower V8 engine, the Armada offers lots of space and creature comforts. Its cabin is fairly quiet and seats up to eight people with its second-row bench seat. If you swap out the bench seat for two captain’s chairs, the seating capacity drops to seven passengers.

Also, the Armada’s third row is power-folding, though this occurs very slowly. Best of all, the Armada’s third row offers plenty of legroom, a rarity in the world of three-row SUVs.
