Comparing the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder and the 2023 Toyota Highlander: Key Differences to Know 

The Pathfinder has an optional V6 engine that offers more power than the standard four-cylinder option found in the Highlander. This could make a big difference for those who plan to use their SUV for towing or carrying heavy loads.  

Inside, they’re quite similar but not identical; while both have three rows of seating and ample room inside for passengers, only the Pathfinder offers an available third row with captain's chairs instead of a bench seat like you'll find in many Highlander models.
