The 2025 Nissan Pathfinder is one of the most compelling mid-size crossovers on the market, excelling as a dependable family hauler that can go just about anywhere. Let’s take a look at why it’s been such a hit with drivers across the country!
1. Handsome Exterior

The vehicle looks bold, muscular, and elegant all at once. Base S models already look snazzy with their standard LED headlights and stylish 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels in a dark finish. Other trims are available with heated power side mirrors featuring integrated turn signals and a power rear door that grants easier access to the cargo area. Adding even more presence to the vehicle are optional duo-tone color schemes and 20-inch wheels.
2. Robust and Refined Powertrain
Whether you choose the Pathfinder’s front-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive layout, you can expect outstanding performance thanks to its standard 284-hp 3.5L V6 engine and 9-speed automatic transmission. Gearshifts are quick and seamless for a responsive drive, plus a torque output of 259 lb.-ft ensures plenty of grunt for taking on rough terrain.
The powertrain’s capabilities include delivering a 0-to-60 time of around seven seconds and enabling a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds. Stops at the fuel pump are few and far between thanks to a fuel economy of up to 27 MPG highway.
3. Inviting Interior
Seating for up to eight and an impressive list of available amenities mean that the Pathfinder is ideal for larger families and keeping passengers comfortable during long trips. The second-row bench seating may be replaced with a pair of captain’s chairs that flank a removable center console with cup holders. Available 10-way power adjustability for the driver’s seat, heated front seats, and leather upholstery result in a genuinely luxurious experience.
4. Comprehensive Infotainment System
An 8-inch NissanConnect infotainment touchscreen is standard, but SL and Platinum trims sport a 9-inch screen. Both let users take advantage of useful features like Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration and Bluetooth hands-free calls and streaming audio. Pathfinders with the larger display also come with support for Nissan Door to Door Navigation, providing 3D maps, turn-by-turn directions, and even directions for finding the vehicle itself.
5. Advanced Driver Assists
From blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts to automatic emergency and rear braking, there are numerous standard driver assistance technologies in the Pathfinder helping to avoid collisions. Almost every variant receives the Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention System, as well, which can prevent drivers from making unsafe lane changes by lightly applying the brakes.
