Weighing a plug-in hybrid or an EV? Our guide to home EV charging installation covers what a Level 2 setup involves.

For drivers taking highway trips through Montclair toward the San Gabriel foothills, the lineup spans a wide range of output, so it is worth matching the powertrain to the driving you actually do. When families compare options in our showroom, they usually look at third-row access and child-seat positioning before discussing horsepower numbers.

What Standard Safety and Driver-Assist Tech Comes on 2026 Nissan SUVs?

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard across the crossover and SUV lineup. Every model above includes it. The suite comprises six technologies designed to monitor the area around the vehicle.

ProPILOT Assist is standard on every trim of the Rogue, Pathfinder, LEAF, and Rogue Plug-in Hybrid, and arrives with the SR grade on the Kicks. It blends adaptive cruise control with steering help to cut fatigue on long drives. The Kicks SR uses ProPILOT Assist 1.0, a hands-on system, and the Pathfinder’s hands-on ProPILOT Assist works the same way. The Armada and Murano Platinum offer ProPILOT Assist 2.1 with hands-free highway driving. The Rogue Plug-in Hybrid includes ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link.

Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.

Common Questions About 2026 Nissan SUVs

What is the maximum towing capacity offered across the 2026 Nissan SUV lineup?

Towing capability varies by model, body, and equipment. The unibody Pathfinder tows 3,500 pounds in standard form. That rises to 6,000 pounds on Rock Creek and Platinum grades, or with the Premium Package. For heavier loads, the body-on-frame Armada tows up to 8,500 pounds when properly equipped.

How does Nissan Safety Shield 360 warn drivers of vehicles in blind spots?

The Blind Spot Warning system uses radar to scan adjacent lanes. When a vehicle enters your blind spot, an indicator illuminates near the side mirror. If you signal toward that lane, the system flashes the indicator and sounds an audible alert to help prevent an unsafe lane change.

How does the Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system work on wet or loose surfaces?

Under normal dry conditions, Nissan’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive routes power primarily to the front wheels to help optimize fuel economy. When it detects reduced traction on wet pavement, gravel, or dirt, the system can send torque to the rear wheels to help you keep grip in slick conditions.

Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
