Pathfinder Fact Sheet

What's new

Pathfinder Special Edition celebrates the nameplate's 40th anniversary with heritage-inspired features, including black 20-inch wheels and a two-tone interior with burgundy upholstery – reminiscent of the original 1987 Pathfinder.

Design

Available burgundy interior in Special Edition pays homage to the original, first-generation Pathfinder.
Premium features in Pathfinder Platinum include semi-aniline leather-appointed seats with quilting, new 20-inch alloy wheels, metal front kickplates, ambient interior lighting, Bose premium audio and a panoramic moonroof.
Pathfinder Rock Creek has adventure-ready looks underpinned by a unique front bumper and grille, LED fog lights, a tubular roof rack, Rock Creek-specific leatherette seats and Lava Red interior stitching elements.
Second-row seats conveniently tilt and slide for access to the third row, even while a child safety seat is installed⁴, with Nissan's LATCH AND GLIDE® technology.

Technology

Standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep occupants connected and entertained.
Keep devices charged more effortlessly with up to five USB-C ports and available Qi2 wireless phone charging.
Available Bose 12-speaker premium audio system treats all on board to crisp, immersive music.
Innovative camera systems include available Invisible Hood View² to spot obstacles ahead of the vehicle's tires and Front Wide View² for a 180-degree view out of driveways, parking spaces and beyond.

Safety and driver assistance

Standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360², as well as class-exclusive Intelligent Forward Collision Warning⁵, provides confidence for every drive.
ProPILOT Assist² and Intelligent Cruise Control² help make highway driving more convenient, simplifying road trips.
Pathfinder has the added confidence of a NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating and a 2026 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating⁶.

Performance

Ruggedly capable Rock Creek enables adventure with all-terrain tires, lifted off-road-tuned suspension, bolder style and tubular roof rack.
Tow confidently with responsive, proven 3.5-liter V6 engine and towing rating of up to 3,500 pounds standard (SV, SL) or up to 6,000 pounds² standard (Rock Creek, Special Edition, Platinum; optional, SV and SL).
