If you’re in the market for a spacious vehicle, the Nissan lineup has several options for you to choose from. But between the Nissan Rogue and Pathfinder, which one is right for you? To start, the 2023 Rogue is a new Nissan midsize crossover SUV while the 2023 Pathfinder is a three-row SUV. If you have a big family to drive around St. Louis, then the seating capacity of the Pathfinder is non-negotiable. Similarly, if you don’t have that many occupants, the Rogue has plenty of space for your needs. But that’s just the beginning. Let’s get into the nitty gritty below, so you can embrace all the differences between the Nissan Rogue and Pathfinder!

 

 

Which is Bigger: Nissan Rogue or Pathfinder?

As we’ve alluded before, the Pathfinder is bigger than the Rogue as it has three rows of seating. This SUV can fit seven or eight passengers, so you can take the entire family for a fun day around St. Charles. On the other hand, the Rogue sits up to 5 passengers. However, when you fold down the seats, both models have similar cargo volumes, so you can bring about the same belongings on the go. What this means is that it all comes down to the passenger capacity when you need to figure out if you should lease or buy the Nissan Rogue or Pathfinder.
