Nissan has recently revealed pricing details for the refreshed 2026 Pathfinder, following the model’s official facelift debut last month. The updated SUV will start at $37,500, not including a destination charge of $1,495. Compared to the outgoing version, this marks a base price increase of $1,100, with the delivery fee also rising by $105. Despite the higher cost, Nissan is positioning the revised Pathfinder as a more polished and better-equipped offering when it reaches dealerships early next year.
Visually, the 2026 Pathfinder remains instantly recognizable, but subtle yet meaningful changes give it a fresher appearance. The most noticeable update is at the front, where Nissan has fitted a larger, more assertive grille that helps modernize the SUV’s face. The front fascia has also been revised, incorporating faux air curtain elements that enhance the design without altering the vehicle’s underlying structure. The lower bumper has been reshaped to create a more unified and refined look. Elsewhere, exterior updates are relatively restrained, but buyers will notice satin-finish exterior badges, a revised rear design, and a refreshed color lineup that introduces a new Baltic Teal option.
Inside the cabin, Nissan has focused on technology and perceived quality. The dashboard has been redesigned to house a significantly larger 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, replacing the smaller 8- and 9-inch units offered previously. This new system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, bringing added convenience and reducing cable clutter. A new “Pathfinder” script on the silver trim beneath the screen adds a subtle branding touch. The mid-range SL trim also benefits from a major upgrade, gaining a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster that enhances both functionality and visual appeal.
Higher trims receive further technology improvements. Both the SL and Platinum variants now feature a redesigned wireless smartphone charging pad that supports the newer Qi2 standard for improved charging efficiency and compatibility. In addition, Nissan has expanded the availability of advanced camera systems. The SL, Platinum, and adventure-oriented Rock Creek trims now include Front Wide View and Invisible Hood View camera functions, designed to improve visibility in tight urban settings or challenging off-road conditions. At the top of the range, the Platinum trim stands out with newly styled 20-inch alloy wheels, revised seat quilting patterns, and updated faux wood interior accents that give the cabin a more upscale feel.
The rugged Rock Creek variant also receives special attention for 2026, with the introduction of a new Premium Package. This optional bundle adds several comfort and convenience features, including the updated wireless phone charger, a panoramic moonroof, a heated steering wheel, and a 12-volt power outlet in the cargo area. Pricing for the package starts at $1,720 when equipped with a second-row bench seat, or $2,270 if buyers opt for second-row captain’s chairs.
Under the hood, the Pathfinder continues with a familiar 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 284 horsepower and 351 Nm of torque. The Rock Creek variant benefits from a slightly more powerful tune, delivering 295 horsepower and 366 Nm. All versions are paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive remains standard across most trims, while all-wheel drive is optional for an additional $2,000, except on the Rock Creek, where it comes standard.
