The new 2026 Nissan Pathfinder continues to help drivers and families do more of what they love with a fresh look, more convenient technologies and greater feature availability for the popular Rock Creek off-road-ready grade.
The new 2026 Pathfinder reaches U.S. showrooms in early 2026 with MSRP starting at $37,500.
Dependable adventure partner, enhanced appearance
A core model in Nissan's dependable SUV lineup since 1986, Pathfinder has been proudly assembled in the U.S. since 2004.
Pathfinder's refined, powerful look is enhanced for 2026 with updated front and rear fascias, satin exterior badges and a stunning new available color, Baltic Teal. Changes inside the spacious three-row cabin include a restyled dashboard accommodating a larger touchscreen and embossed “PATHFINDER” lettering. Pathfinder Platinum also features a new 20-inch wheel design, new seat quilting patterns and wood-tone trim.
Powerful new technology
All 2026 Nissan Pathfinder grades now feature a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, with newly standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto. A redesigned, segment-first Qi2 wireless device charger offers faster, more consistent smartphone charging performance.
Pathfinder Rock Creek, SL and Platinum grades add two innovative camera systems: Front Wide View, which provides a 180-degree view to the front and sides of the vehicle, and Invisible Hood View, which offers a virtual view “through” the vehicle's hood and engine bay. Both systems build on Pathfinder's class-exclusive available HD Intelligent Around View Monitor.
Effortless capability
The new 2026 Nissan Pathfinder continues to deliver confidence and capability with a standard proven, responsive 3.5-liter V6 engine with nine-speed automatic transmission rated for 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. Pathfinder has a standard towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, and is available with a class-leading towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds7 depending on configuration.
For drivers headed beyond the pavement, Pathfinder Rock Creek features off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, a unique front bumper and grille, LED fog lights, a tubular roof rack, Rock Creek-specific leatherette seats and Lava Red interior stitching elements. For the 2026 model year, a new Rock Creek Premium package enhances the grade with a panoramic moonroof, wireless phone charging, a cargo area 12-volt power outlet and a heated steering wheel.
