2025 Nissan Pathfinder

Nissan offers five 2025 Pathfinder variants: S, SV, SL, Rock Creek, and Platinum. The S trim features 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, LED headlights, and a black grille with chrome surround, and for the SV, Nissan adds a power liftgate. If you prefer a more rugged look, the SL upgrades to 20-inch machined wheels and all-season tires. The Rock Creek trim features unique 18-inch beadlock-style wheels, all-terrain tires, and a distinctive black front fascia with a V-shaped mesh grille. At the top of the range, the Platinum comes with 20-inch dark metallic gray machined wheels and a motion-activated power liftgate with position memory. Dimensions for the Pathfinder are length 197.7 inches (198.8 for the Rock Creek), width 77.9 inches, and height 70.9 inches (73.7 for the Rock Creek). The wheelbase covers 114.2 inches, with a ground clearance of 7.1 inches (7.7 for the Rock Creek).

A powerful 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V-6 engine serves at the heart of every Pathfinder model. S, SV, SL, and Platinum trims generate 284 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 259 pound-feet of torque at 4,800 rpm. The Rock Creek receives a performance boost, delivering 295 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque at the same rpm. A nine-speed automatic transmission with a wide gear ratio optimizes performance across all driving conditions. Low first gear delivers quick off-the-line acceleration, and high ninth gear improves efficiency for highway cruising. This combination of power and refined gear management means you can be confident in a smooth driving experience.

Available on all variants except the S trim, Nissan's Intelligent 4x4 adapts the 2025 Pathfinder to various driving conditions. Seven drive modes — Standard, Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand, Mud/Rut, and Tow — allow you to optimize the vehicle's response based on terrain and road conditions. Its direct coupling system provides improved traction and stability across challenging surfaces. The Rock Creek's off-road-tuned suspension and increased ground clearance improve its trail-ready capabilities. Independent strut front suspension with coil springs and multi-link rear suspension deliver composed handling across all models. Rock Creek and Platinum trims have up to 6,000 pounds of towing capacity supported by the tow mode with downhill speed control for added confidence when hauling.

Flexible seating arrangements accommodate up to eight passengers, with optional second-row captain's chairs providing a seven-passenger configuration on the SV, SL, and Platinum trims. The Rock Creek comes standard with the seven-passenger layout. Cargo capacity starts at 16.6 cubic feet behind the third row and expands to 80.5 cubic feet when both rear rows are folded, creating a maximum floor area of 79.8 by 48.8 inches. Technology features vary by trim level, with the Platinum receiving a 12.3-inch digital dashboard display and SL and Platinum trims utilizing a 9-inch touchscreen. S, SV, and Rock Creek variants feature an 8-inch touchscreen display. Available amenities include a head-up display, Wi-Fi hotspot capability for up to seven devices, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and a Bose 13-speaker premium audio system. Seating materials progress from cloth in S and SV trims to leather-appointed upholstery in SL and Rock Creek models. The Platinum receives premium semi-aniline leather seats with quilting.

Nissan Safety Shield 360, standard on all trims, provides advanced safety technology with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, rear automatic braking, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and high beam assist. ProPILOT Assist, standard on SV and Rock Creek trims, combines intelligent cruise control with steering assist technologies to improve your highway driving confidence. SL and Platinum trims benefit from ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, which adds navigation-based speed adjustment capabilities and stop-and-hold functionality. SL, Platinum, and Rock Creek trims also feature an intelligent around-view monitor for improved visibility during parking maneuvers. Traffic sign recognition, available on SL and Platinum trims, helps drivers stay informed of current speed limits and road conditions.
