The 2026 Nissan Pathfinder

Under the hood, the 2026 Pathfinder retains its proven 3.5L V6 engine, a standout in a segment increasingly dominated by smaller four-cylinder options. This engine delivers a responsive 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque on most models. For those seeking more power, the adventure-ready Rock Creek trim boosts those figures to 295 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.

The power is managed by a smooth nine-speed automatic transmission that includes paddle shifters for increased driver control. This powertrain setup allows the Pathfinder to achieve a competitive fuel efficiency rating of up to 27 mpg on the highway for front-wheel-drive models, ensuring your trips across the DFW Metroplex are as efficient as they are powerful.

Whether you are hauling a boat to the Trinity River or a camper for a weekend trip, the 2026 Nissan Pathfinder provides confidence. Standard models can tow up to 3,500 pounds, while the SL, Rock Creek, and Platinum trims offer a class-leading towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped.

For off-pavement excursions, the available Intelligent 4x4 system features direct coupling to help maintain traction on low-grip surfaces like gravel or wet roads. Drivers can also utilize seven available Drive and Terrain Modes, including a dedicated Tow Mode with Downhill Speed Control, to optimize performance based on the specific conditions of the Texas landscape.

The 2026 refresh brings a restyled dashboard to the Pathfinder cabin, creating a more upscale environment for up to eight passengers. The interior is defined by high-quality materials, ranging from durable cloth on the base trims to premium quilted semi-aniline leather on the Platinum grade. Space is a priority, with the EZ FLEX Seating System allowing the second row to tilt and slide even with a child seat installed.

Storage is equally impressive, with a maximum cargo capacity of 80.5 cubic feet when the rear rows are lowered. Even with all seats in place, you have 16.6 cubic feet of space behind the third row, complemented by a hidden under-floor compartment to keep valuables out of sight while you explore Fort Worth.

On the outside, the 2026 Nissan Pathfinder sports updated front and rear fascias that provide a more modern and assertive look. New satin exterior badges and the addition of a stunning Baltic Teal paint option ensure this SUV stands out on I-820.

The Pathfinder offers various wheel designs to match its diverse trim personalities, including 18-inch alloy wheels on the SV and SL models and new 20-inch machine-finished wheels for the Platinum trim. LED lighting is standard across the board, providing excellent visibility for night driving around North Texas.

Technology is at the forefront of the 2026 refresh, with every model now featuring a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This system includes wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ as standard features, allowing for seamless smartphone integration. A redesigned Qi2 wireless device charger is also available, providing faster charging with integrated cooling to protect your phone.

Safety remains a core priority with the standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360 suite. This includes:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
• Blind Spot Warning
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Lane Departure Warning
• Rear Automatic Braking

For enhanced peace of mind, higher trims offer the HD Intelligent Around View Monitor with new Front Wide View and Invisible Hood View technology, which projects a virtual view through the engine bay to help you navigate tight parking spots or rocky trails. You can verify these advanced safety technologies through official ratings at the NHTSA and IIHS websites.

Stepping up to the SV adds ProPILOT Assist for easier highway driving, along with heated front seats and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. This trim also introduces NissanConnect® Services for remote vehicle access.

The SL trim brings a touch of luxury with leather-appointed seating and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. It also features the Intelligent Around View® Monitor and a power liftgate for added convenience during shopping trips.

Designed for adventure, the Rock Creek features an off-road-tuned suspension, 18-inch black-painted beadlock-style wheels with all-terrain tires, and a unique tubular roof rack. It also boasts an increased power output of 295 horsepower.

The top-tier Platinum offers the ultimate in comfort with quilted leather seats, 20-inch wheels, a motion-activated power liftgate, and wood-tone interior trim. It also includes a 13-speaker Bose® Premium Audio system for an immersive listening experience.
