• The 2025 Nissan Pathfinder three-row crossover SUV costs $38,460, or $1,315 more than last year
• Three oil changes are included in the first two years or 24,000 miles of ownership
• The V-6 and 6,000-pound towing capacity carry over

The 2025 Nissan Pathfinder three-row midsize SUV carries over mostly unchanged, except for a significant price increase and some complimentary oil changes based on news released Friday.

The base Pathfinder S grade now starts at $38,460—that’s $1,315 more than the 2024 model. That includes a mandatory $1,390 destination charge that’s $55 higher than before. All-wheel drive adds $2,000 to the bill ($100 more than last year), but is standard on the Rock Creek grade.

For 2025, the Nissan Maintenance Care program includes three free oil changes over the first two years or 24,000 miles of ownership.

Nissan is also extending availability of a power tailgate with position memory to the SV grade (one step up from the S at $41,450) and Rock Creek. It was previously available only on the SL and Platinum grades, which start at $44,650 and $51,200, respectively.

Priced at $46,550—putting it just below the Platinum grade—the Pathfinder Rock Creek 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.

All Pathfinder models have the same 3.5-liter V-6 and 9-speed automatic transmission. 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.

Nissan quotes a 6,000-pound towing capacity that’s very competitive for the segment, but that only applies to Rock Creek and Platinum models, or SV and SL models with the optional Premium Package. All other configurations are rated at 3,500 pounds.

Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with an 8.0-inch touchscreen. A 9.0-inch touchscreen is optional, along with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a head-up display, and a 13-speaker Bose audio system. The Pathfinder can be equipped with up to six USB ports.

The Pathfinder also comes standard with expected driver-assist features such as front and rear automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and automatic high beams. Nissan’s ProPilot Assist highway driving assistant is available on higher trim levels.

While Nissan doesn’t offer a hybrid powertrain for the Pathfinder like the one available in the Toyota Highlander, or the brick-chic styling that’s had buyers falling in love with the Kia Telluride, it does include clever features like a well-designed underfloor storage compartment and second-row seats that can slide forward even with child car seats installed.
