It seats 8 (7 with captain’s chairs), with comfy front seats and a panoramic sunroof on higher trims. The 470-liter boot fits 5 carry-on bags, expanding to 2,280 liters with seats folded, beating the Pilot’s 2,200 liters. NissanConnect offers wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and remote start via the MyNISSAN app.

Engine, Transmission, & Performance
The 3.5L V6 engine delivers 284 hp (295 hp in Rock Creek), paired with a 9-speed automatic. It hits 0–60 mph in 6.6 seconds (AWD), per Car and Driver, faster than the Telluride’s 7.0 seconds. Front-wheel drive is standard; AWD ($1,900 extra) adds 7 drive modes like Mud and Sand. The ride is smooth and quiet, perfect for family trips.
Towing & Payload Capacity
The S, SV, and SL tow up to 3,500 pounds, while Rock Creek and Platinum hit 6,000 pounds, topping the Highlander’s 5,000 pounds. The roof rack holds 260 pounds for extra gear.
