The 2026 Nissan Pathfinder’s New Tech Now Competes With Kia and Toyota
The SL trim (the second-highest you can get) now also has a customizable digital instrument cluster that used to be exclusive to the top-spec Platinum model. Speaking of the Platinum, changes to that trim include a new design for the wheels, some new seat quilting patterns, and what Nissan calls “wood-tone” trim for that sort-of-luxury vibe (probably).
As for the rest of the Pathfinder, it’s mostly unchanged. The standard naturally aspirated V6 (which makes 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque) is still here, as is the nine-speed automatic it’s paired to. All-wheel drive is still an optional extra, and towing maxes out at 6,000 pounds.
Nissan hasn’t announced pricing for the new Pathfinder, but we expect a small bump over the current car’s $37,895 starting price. Interested buyers can start looking for the new Pathfinder in dealerships at the start of next year.
