Introducing the 2026 Nissan Pathfinder: Arriving Early 2026

The 2026 Nissan Pathfinder is set to make its appearance in the near future! Expected to arrive in early 2026, this modern midsize SUV is shaping up to be an appealing choice for families who love adventures.

You’ll have five trim levels to choose from — the S, SV, Rock Creek, SL and Platinum — and can look forward to updates inside and out. With seating for up to eight, this three-row SUV lets you bring the whole crew along for the adventure, whether that’s a visit to a favorite local spot or a long road trip to an exciting destination. 

But no matter what the adventure ahead looks like, you can anticipate a comfortable journey in an SUV that’s designed to fit the needs of families like yours. Learn more about the upcoming 2026 Pathfinder below!

A Tech-Packed Cabin 

The 2026 Nissan Pathfinder elevates your driving experience with some key tech updates that we can’t wait to try out. 

Every trim level features an expansive 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system that includes wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™, which are now standard, allowing convenient access to your phone no matter which trim level you opt for. You can also look forward to a redesigned available wireless device charger, which can charge your phone faster than before.

Other noteworthy technology features include the improved available HD Intelligent Around View Monitor, which offers increased visibility, thanks to the addition of Front Wide View, which gives you a 180-degree view to the front and sides of your Pathfinder, and Invisible Hood View, which gives you a virtual view through the hood of the SUV.

And when it comes to safety, Nissan Safety Shield® 360 comes standard, so you can take peace of mind with you, no matter which trim level you choose.

Design Updates 

The new 2026 Nissan Pathfinder makes a strong impression inside and out. Its imposing exterior stands out, complete with fresh front and rear fascias and accented by satin exterior badges. The new model year sees a new color option join the lineup — it’s called Baltic Teal, and we won’t be surprised if it becomes a new favorite.

Trim-specific updates include black roof rails on the SL and Platinum, which previously had silver roof rails. The Platinum trim features a new 20-inch wheel design, new seat quilting patterns, and wood-tone trim, keeping you and your passengers riding in next-level style.

The Pathfinder accommodates eight occupants — or seven if you choose the available second-row captain’s chairs. Plus, you’ll get 16.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, but if you need more space, you can lower the second and third rows to get 80.5 cubic feet of cargo space.

A power liftgate is included on the SV, Rock Creek, and SL trim levels, while a motion-activated power liftgate is included on the Platinum trim level for even more convenience.

Craving an off-road adventure? The Rock Creek trim level is ready for whenever the trails call, offering an off-road-tuned suspension, a lifted ride height, and all-terrain tires. It also features design details like a unique front bumper and grille, exclusive leatherette seats, and Lava Red stitching in the cabin.

Powerful Performance

2026 Nissan Pathfinder performance is impressive too. Equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that boasts 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque, the Pathfinder is ready to power every adventure. 

The engine is matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission that comes with paddle shifters, and Intelligent 4×4 is available for enhanced performance in various driving conditions, allowing you to explore with extra confidence. With Intelligent 4×4, you can select from a variety of driving modes to suit the terrain. These modes — Auto, Eco, Tow, Sport, Sand, Mud, and Rut — help you get the most out of your adventures.

Not only that, when the Nissan Pathfinder is properly equipped, it can tow up to 3,500 pounds standard. But if you need even more towing capacity, the Rock Creek trim, Platinum trim, SV Premium package, or SL Premium package allow you to tow up to 6,000 pounds.
