Measurements
Nissan Pathfinder cargo space dimensions.
| Length | Width | Height | Volume | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller listed layout (seat configuration not confirmed) | 16"41 cm | 46"117 cm | 33"84 cm | 16.6 cu ft470 L |
| Largest listed layout (seat configuration not confirmed) | 80"203 cm | 46"117 cm | 33"84 cm | 80.5 cu ft2280 L |
| Liftgate opening | – | 46"117 cm | 33"84 cm | – |
Figures are typical for the current generation and vary slightly by trim and model year. The liftgate opening is the limiting dimension for wide or tall items, so measure it before the volume.
What fits
What fits in the Nissan Pathfinder cargo area?
Measure smart
What to measure.
Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.
- 01The liftgate opening width and height, not the total volume, since the opening is what an item has to pass through.
- 02The load-floor length behind the rear seats, then again with the seats folded.
- 03The height available under the parcel shelf or roofline, measured at the lowest point.
- 04Your item at its widest point, including feet, handles, and packaging.
Don't make these
Common mistakes.
Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.
- ⚠Reading the cubic-foot figure and assuming a wide item will fit, when the liftgate opening is narrower than the item.
- ⚠Measuring the cargo floor but forgetting the roofline tapers toward the liftgate opening.
- ⚠Ignoring that a full-size spare, subwoofer, or hybrid battery eats into the quoted volume.
- ⚠Planning around seats-folded length while leaving a passenger seat up.
Frequently asked
Questions we keep getting.
What is the cargo space of a Nissan Pathfinder?
The Nissan Pathfinder has 16.6 cubic feet of cargo space in the smaller listed layout and 80.5 cubic feet (about 2280 liters) in the largest listed layout. That load floor is roughly 80 inches (203 cm) long. Which seats each listed layout folds is not confirmed for this vehicle.
01What are the Nissan Pathfinder liftgate opening dimensions?
The Nissan Pathfinder liftgate opening is about 46 inches wide and 33 inches tall (117 x 84 cm). The opening, not the total volume, is what decides whether a wide or tall item can get in, so measure it first.
02How long is the Nissan Pathfinder load area in the largest listed layout?
About 80 inches, or 203 cm. The usable volume in the largest listed layout is 80.5 cubic feet (about 2280 liters). Measure your longest item against this load length before you load.
03Does the Nissan Pathfinder cargo space change by model year?
Cargo figures vary slightly by generation and trim. A panoramic roof, a full-size spare, or a hybrid battery can each reduce usable volume by a few cubic feet. The figures here are typical for the current generation; check your exact year's spec sheet for a precise number.
