The 2025 Nissan Pathfinder three-row midsize SUV has recently been released, and while it carries over mostly unchanged from the previous year, there are a few notable updates that have been announced. One of the most significant changes is the price increase, with the base Pathfinder S grade now starting at $38,460. This is $1,315 more than the 2024 model, and includes a mandatory $1,390 destination charge.
In addition to the price increase, Nissan is also offering a new maintenance program for the 2025 Pathfinder. The Nissan Maintenance Care program includes three free oil changes over the first two years or 24,000 miles of ownership, providing added value for customers.
The 2025 Pathfinder retains the same V-6 engine and 6,000-pound towing capacity as the previous model. The engine produces 284 hp and 259 lb-ft of torque in most models, but 295 hp and 270 lb-ft in Rock Creek models. The towing capacity of 6,000 pounds is competitive for the segment, making the Pathfinder a versatile option for those who need to tow trailers or boats.
The Pathfinder Rock Creek grade, priced at $46,550, includes off-road-tuned suspension, model-specific 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, a roof rack with a 220-pound load capacity, LED fog lights, second-row captain’s chairs, orange interior stitching, and an off-road mode for the surround-view camera system.
Standard features across all Pathfinder models include wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, and driver-assist features such as front and rear automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitors, and lane-departure warning. Higher trim levels offer additional features such as a 9.0-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a head-up display, and a 13-speaker Bose audio system.
While the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder does not offer a hybrid powertrain like some of its competitors, it does include clever features such as a well-designed underfloor storage compartment and second-row seats that can slide forward even with child car seats installed. Made in Tennessee, the 2025 Pathfinder is now available for sale.
