2026 Nissan Pathfinder Specs
If there's any way to describe the Nissan Pathfinder, it would be rugged, tough, and capable. Under the hood of every configuration is a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that delivers 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque – more than enough to handle Maryland's terrain and weather. The SUV comes standard with front-wheel drive, which is ideal if you stick to paved urban roads in College Park, MD.
However, if you prefer off-road adventuring, the Nissan Pathfinder is fully equipped to conquer the all-terrain pathways of local campgrounds like Cherry Hill Park. Add the available all-wheel-drive option to any tier of the Nissan Pathfinder trim selection, and you're ready for weekends under the stars.
Additionally, if you want to bring some equipment along on your trips, the Pathfinder has you covered. The model comes with a standard 3,500-pound towing capacity, which is perfect for hauling a Jet Ski or small boat to the Lake Artemesia Natural Area or other local lakes.
For serious hauling power, consider a higher-tier model or optional add-ons that raise the maximum Nissan Pathfinder towing capacity to 6,000 pounds.
Nissan Pathfinder Trims, Interior & Colors
The Nissan Pathfinder can be experienced in one of four distinct trims:
- Nissan Pathfinder SV
- Nissan Pathfinder SL
- Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek
- Nissan Pathfinder Platinum
With each trim, the Nissan Pathfinder interior and color selection are unique. The SV kicks it all off with a competitive selection: heated front seats, a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, and a six-speaker audio system.
The SL adds premium comforts like available heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and TailorFit leatherette seats.
With the Rock Creek, you're especially ready for adventure. It comes with cloth and leatherette seating, all-wheel drive, and a few off-road-centric additions like an all-terrain suspension.
The Platinum offers the most compelling interior: heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, memory driver settings, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. It's the most exclusive model in the lineup – and it shows.
Your choice among trims will bring you to another decision: which of the Nissan Pathfinder colors is right for you? Here are the options available when you lease or finance a Nissan Pathfinder:
