The 2026 Nissan Pathfinder has been refreshed with updated styling, a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across the entire lineup. Backed by a proven V6 engine and a class-leading maximum towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds, the Pathfinder delivers three-row versatility with room for up to eight passengers. Whether you need space for the school run or the muscle to haul a boat on weekends, the Pathfinder is built for families in Ontario and surrounding communities like Fontana, Corona, and Rancho Cucamonga.

Five Trims to Match Your Lifestyle

The 2026 Pathfinder is available in five trims — S, SV, Rock Creek, SL, and Platinum — with starting MSRPs ranging from an estimated $37,500 to $51,400. Every trim is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 producing 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard, with available Intelligent 4×4 on most trims and standard Intelligent 4×4 on the Rock Creek.

Pathfinder S — Starting at an Estimated $37,500

The entry-level S provides a strong foundation with Nissan Safety Shield 360, tri-zone automatic climate control, LED headlights, and the same 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone connectivity found on every Pathfinder.

Pathfinder SV — Starting at an Estimated $39,900

The SV adds ProPILOT Assist semi-autonomous highway driving, a power liftgate, heated front seats, and wireless charging — making it one of the strongest values in the midsize three-row segment.

Pathfinder SL — Starting at an Estimated $42,500 (FWD)

The SL includes TailorFit leatherette upholstery, an available panoramic moonroof, an available 13-speaker Bose Premium Audio System, and an available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster for drivers who want elevated comfort.

Pathfinder Rock Creek — Starting at an Estimated $45,000

The adventure-ready Rock Creek comes standard with Intelligent 4×4, an off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, and a boosted engine tune producing 295 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.

Pathfinder Platinum — Starting at an Estimated $49,400 (FWD)

At the top of the lineup, the Platinum adds semi-aniline leather with quilted stitching, heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic moonroof, a head-up display, 20-inch wheels, and a motion-activated power liftgate.

Towing and EPA-Estimated Fuel Efficiency

Standard towing capacity across the S, SV, and SL is 3,500 pounds. With the available Premium Package on the SV or SL, or by stepping up to the Rock Creek or Platinum, maximum towing capacity reaches 6,000 pounds — more than most midsize three-row competitors. The Pathfinder achieves an EPA-estimated 21 city / 27 highway / 23 combined mpg (FWD, SV/SL/Platinum), with Intelligent 4×4 models returning an estimated 20–21 city / 23–26 highway mpg depending on trim and configuration.

All figures shown are EPA estimated miles per gallon. Actual mileage will vary based on driving conditions, vehicle condition, and other factors.

Standard Safety and Technology

Every 2026 Pathfinder earns a NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating and comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360 — including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and high-beam assist. ProPILOT Assist is standard on SV and above, combining adaptive cruise control with lane-centering for more relaxed highway driving.
