The Nissan Pathfinder was redesigned and improved in 2026, but prices for all models in the lineup have increased. The base S trim level of the Pathfinder now costs $38,995, up $1,100 from last year’s model. The SV and SL trims have seen small price increases of $510 and $410, but the Platinum version now costs $760 more. The Nissan Pathfinder, a three-row mid-size SUV, has received more than just cosmetic changes for the 2026 model year. The cabin features a larger touchscreen, a new headlight design, and other enhancements to make it more appealing. Of course, the new look and features come with a price, and all items have higher prices, though some increases are less significant. For 2026, the base S trim level is still the cheapest Pathfinder. It now starts at $38,995 and comes with front-wheel drive. The Pathfinder S with all-wheel drive will also see its price increase by $1,100. The starting price is $40,995. Every Pathfinder now comes with a larger 12.3-inch tablet than last year’s base model. You can get an extra wireless charging station with a cooling fan to charge faster if you upgrade to the SV trim level. The 2026 Pathfinder SV FWD starts at $41,395 (up $510), and the AWD model starts at $43,395 (up $510). The Pathfinder Rock Creek’s base price has gone up by $510 to $46,495. It’s looking tough. The mid-tier SL’s front-drive ($43,995) and all-wheel-drive ($45,995) models are $410 more than the previous model, the smallest rise. The SL comes with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and two additional cameras for its 360-degree camera system, making parking and driving in tight spaces easier. The Platinum and Rock Creek models are the top-tier options, and both come with Nissan’s HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor. This feature raises the prices of the front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models by $760 over the base price, to $50,895 and $52,895, respectively. The higher starting price includes new 20-inch wheels, quilted seat patterns, and a wood-trimmed interior.
