Nissan Reveals Updated 2026 Pathfinder with Standard 12.3-inch Screen and Extra Safety Tech

• New standard 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across all grades.

• Rock Creek trim gains moonroof, wireless charging, and more off-road convenience features.

• Pathfinder continues to offer 6,000-lb towing, 3.5L V6 engine, and standard Intelligent 4WD.

Nissan has revealed the refreshed 2026 Pathfinder ahead of its public debut at the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show. It gets an updated exterior style, an upgraded technology suite, and new features across both Platinum and Rock Creek trims.

Power is provided by a 3.5-litre V6 engine, producing 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque in the Platinum trim, or 295 hp and 270 lb-ft in Rock Creek. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters. All models are equipped with Nissan’s Intelligent 4WD and a seven-mode terrain selector, supporting varied driving conditions. Towing capacity remains unchanged at 6,000 pounds, while idle stop-start is now standard.

The Pathfinder lands in 2026 with a redesigned front and rear fascia, satin-finish exterior badging, and a new “Baltic Teal” paint option. Inside, the dashboard has been reconfigured with a modern layout, prominently featuring a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A redesigned wireless device charger delivers up to 15 watts of power and incorporates a cooling fan and magnetic alignment to improve charging consistency.

The three-row Pathfinder continues to offer flexible seating for up to eight passengers, with available captain’s chairs on the Platinum trim. The second row employs Nissan’s LATCH AND GLIDE system, allowing for seat movement even when child seats are installed. Cargo volume measures 470 litres behind the third row and expands to over 2,279 litres when rear rows are folded flat.

For the Platinum trim, updates include new 20-inch machined alloy wheels, a new quilting pattern for the seats, wood-tone interior accents, and black roof rails. The off-road-oriented Rock Creek trim retains its lifted suspension, unique grille and bumpers, and adds a panoramic moonroof, wireless charger, and a cargo-area power outlet for 2026.

Driver assistance is enhanced through an upgraded HD Intelligent Around View Monitor, which now integrates Front Wide View and Invisible Hood View systems. Standard safety features include Nissan Safety Shield 360, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, and ProPILOT Assist with Intelligent Cruise Control, designed to support drivers during highway travel and heavy traffic.

Canadian production is scheduled to begin in Spring 2026. Pricing will be announced closer to market launch.
