TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Nissan Pathfinder
| 2012 Nissan Pathfinder Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| Adults will easily fit in both back rows if the second row is adjusted midway through its travel, but they won't be very comfortable. Total legroom for all three rows is a generous 114.7 inches, 3.4 more than in the larger GMC Acadia. But as in the Acadia, the second row seat is too low to provide adults with proper thigh support. The Ford Flex is the champ in this area, while the new Santa Fe also puts in a strong showing. The seat cushion itself feels more substantial than that in the Acadia, but the GMC can fit three people in the third row (as can the Pilot). Only two can sit back there in the Pathfinder. see full Nissan Pathfinder review | ||

Even with front seat a bit forward to allow for rear seat passenger, plenty of room in the front. see full Ford Escape review |
