Nissan made very, very few updates to the Pathfinder for the 2025 model year, but that hasn’t stopped it from increasing prices across the lineup. Fortunately, the price hikes are relatively small and shouldn’t be too much of a concern for new car buyers. As with last year, the base model for 2025 is the Pathfinder S 2WD, which now starts at US$ 37,070—a small bump from last year’s US$ 36,650. The two-wheel-drive lineup also includes the SV, SL, and Platinum trims, now priced at US$ 40,060, US$ 43,260, and US$ 49,810, respectively. These prices are slightly higher than last year’s US$ 39,470, US$ 43,070, and US$ 49,620—nothing to write home about, but enough to notice when you’re writing the check.
There are no less than five different
four-wheel drive models that shoppers can choose between. These start at US$ 39,070
for the Pathfinder S 4WD compared with the US$ 38,550 starting price of the
2024 model. Prices then rise to US$ 42,060 and US$ 45,260 for the SV 4WD and SL
4WD, a few hundred dollars more than the US$ 41,370 and US$ 44,970 commanded
last year. Topping out the standard range is the Pathfinder Platinum 4WD,
priced at US$ 51,810, a rise from US$ 51,520 in 2024. Customers who want the
most off-road-focused variant of the Pathfinder can continue to opt for the
Rock Creek 4WD. It’s priced from US$ 45,160 whereas last year it had been
available from US$ 44,470.
Just two changes have been made to the
2025 model. The first is the inclusion of a power liftgate as standard on the SV
and Rock Creek grades. The second is that all 2025 Pathfinder models now come
standard with Nissan Maintenance Care which includes up to three scheduled oil
changes for the first two years or up to 24,000 miles. As for options, the 2025
model offers a decent variety, if you feel like throwing in some extras.
Premium paint will set you back US$ 425, LED fog lights add US$ 350, the Black
Appearance Package costs US$ 485, splash guards are US$ 255, running boards
come in at US$ 745, and a cargo package rounds things out at US$ 355. Choose
wisely, or don’t. Either way, the dealer’s going to love you.
There are no changes under the hood, as
the Pathfinder’s grunt continues to come from a 3.5-liter V6 pushing out 284 hp and 351 Nm of torque. But if you’re eyeing the
off-road-ready Rock Creek trim, things get a slight bump thanks to tweaked fuel
mapping, cranking power up to 295 hp and 366 Nm.
It’s not a massive leap, but just enough to make you feel a bit more invincible
when the pavement ends.
