The 2025 Nissan Pathfinder, a three-row crossover SUV, is priced at $38,460, reflecting a $1,315 increase from the previous year. The initial two years or 24,000 miles of ownership include three oil changes.
With minimal changes for 2025, the Nissan Pathfinder three-row midsize SUV sees primarily a notable price hike alongside some added complimentary oil changes, according to information released on Friday.
The starting price for the base Pathfinder S grade is now $38,460, with an additional mandatory $1,390 destination charge, which is $55 more than last year. All-wheel drive is available for an additional $2,000 (up $100 from the previous year), though it is standard on the Rock Creek variant.
In 2025, the Nissan Maintenance Care program offers three complimentary oil changes over the first two years or 24,000 miles of ownership.
Nissan is also expanding the availability of a power tailgate with position memory to the SV grade (available for $41,450) and the Rock Creek, having previously limited it to the SL and Platinum grades, which start at $44,650 and $51,200, respectively.

The Pathfinder Rock Creek, priced at $46,550 and just below the Platinum grade, features an off-road-tuned suspension, unique 18-inch wheels fitted with all-terrain tires, a roof rack rated for 220 pounds, LED fog lights, second-row captain’s chairs, distinctive orange interior stitching, and an off-road mode tailored for the surround-view camera system.
All Pathfinder models share a 3.5-liter V-6 engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. This engine delivers 284 hp and 259 lb-ft of torque for most models, while the Rock Creek models generate 295 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque.
Nissan claims a competitive 6,000-pound towing capacity for the segment, applicable only to Rock Creek and Platinum models, or SV and SL models equipped with the optional Premium Package; all other versions are rated at 3,500 pounds.
Standard features include wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside an 8.0-inch touchscreen. An optional 9.0-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a head-up display, and a 13-speaker Bose audio system are available, and the Pathfinder can come with as many as six USB ports.
The Pathfinder also comes equipped with standard safety technologies such as front and rear automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts, lane-departure warnings, and automatic high beams. Higher trim levels offer Nissan’s ProPilot Assist for highway driving.
Although Nissan does not provide a hybrid option for the Pathfinder as seen in the Toyota Highlander or the trendy styling that has endeared buyers to the Kia Telluride, it offers practical features like a well-constructed underfloor storage area and second-row seats that can slide forward even when child car seats are in place.
