Best Nissan Models for Families

If you’re looking to upgrade your ride for a growing family, you’re sure to find several Nissan models to meet your needs. You can drive around Avondale, Glendale, and Phoenix in style in any of the family Nissan models.

Nissan Models With Three Row Seating

One of the main features for larger families when they are looking at new vehicles is the third row. Nissan provides several choices for these buyers, with models like the Nissan Pathfinder and Armada. The Pathfinder is a full-size SUV while the Murano is a mid-size crossover.

Though the Rogue and Murano don’t have a third row, they offer a spacious interior for five. You also get plenty of cargo space if you like to take family vacations or you need extra room for your kids’ gear.

What to Expect with the Pathfinder and Armada

You can fit up to eight people in the Nissan Pathfinder or switch out the second-row bench seat for captain’s chairs to add extra luxury for seven passengers. A removable center console for the second row gives your passengers extra storage within reach. USB-C ports are located in the first and second rows with USB-A ports going all the way back to the third row. A total of 13 speakers are placed strategically throughout the cabin for the Bose Premium Audio System. Accessing the third row is easier with the second row EX FLEX system. Three separate zones allow you to set the temperature for your zone and others can choose a different setting in another zone.

If you like the look of the Nissan Armada, you’ll appreciate the fact that it’s competitive with the Pathfinder. You can switch the bench seat for captain’s chairs while a power liftgate makes loading easier. When you fold down the second and third row seats, you gain over 95 cubic feet of storage space. This SUV provides impressive towing capacity with up to 8500 pounds with a standard tow hitch receiver. Add a Hatch Tent that sleeps five and connect it to the rear hatch to take it with you for weekend getaways.

When comparing the two family models from Nissan, you’ll want to decide what features are most important to you. If you need power for towing, you’ll find the Nissan Armada delivers. Along with the impressive towing capacity, this model includes a 5.6L Endurance V8 engine that provides up to 400 horsepower. While those stats outperform the Nissan Pathfinder, this mid-size SUV comes out ahead of efficiency with up to 27 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in the city from the 3.5L V6 engine. When all seats are upright, the two models are comparable for cargo space. Storage room increases more for the Armada when you fold down the seats.
