What's New for the 2026 Nissan Pathfinder?
The Nissan Pathfinder is a top pick for midsize SUV shoppers who need a comfortable three-row model that is well-suited for weekly commutes and weekend travel. The Pathfinder is a mid-generation model in 2026, introducing updated styling and a few upgraded features.
The 2026 Pathfinder’s facade is notably contemporary thanks to its updated front, rear, and wheel designs. At the front, you’ll find a long, gently tapered hood with ledge-style accentuation that flows forward to reach the headlights. The LED headlights have a parallelogram shape with an upper LED bar that sweeps back. The headlights also fade downward in a stairstep pattern to conform to the shape of the V-motion grille. The grille has an edgy, staggered mesh pattern and a chrome crossbar. Tall triangular air vents on the nose couple with sharp, linear definition on the sides, and dark molding for a sporty touch. Exterior features include up to 20-inch wheels, a hands-free power liftgate, a tow prep kit for up to 6,000 pounds, and a tubular roof rack.
The five trim levels for the 2026 Pathfinder are the S, SV, SL, Rock Creek, and Platinum. These trims come with a V6, 3.5-liter engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The unit offers 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque. The Rock Creek is outfitted with standard all-wheel drive. The other trim levels come with front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is offered as an upgrade.
Inside the cabin, you’ll find upgraded leather upholstery in the Platinum trim level. Every 2026 Pathfinder now has a more powerful charging pad for wireless devices and an all-new 12.3-inch infotainment system screen. Otherwise, the Pathfinder is comparably equipped to the 2025 version on a trim-by-trim basis. Some of its other features include wireless smartphone app connections, a three-zone climate control system, a blind-spot warning system, remote start, heated front seats, adaptive cruise control, a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, a surround-view camera, a digital instrument panel, USB ports, a surround-view camera, and many others.
