Nissan's highly capable and family-oriented three-row SUV provides plenty of features and convenience for the 2025 model year. The 2025 Nissan Pathfinder comes with some new features and updates to make it a lot more exciting for those looking for a good crossover that can seat up to eight passengers across its three rows. With a powerful engine, great tech, and a robust safety suite, the Pathfinder gives its nearest rivals, such as the Chevy Traverse, Kia Telluride, and the GMC Acadia, serious competition, all while maintaining a respectable price point.
The 2025 Pathfinder ushers in a new standard feature for the SV and Rock Creek trims in the form of the power liftgate. This adds a lot more value to both trims. However, the other highlight is that Nissan has added the Nissan Maintenance Care package to all 2025 Nissan Pathfinder trims so that you now have up to two years or 24,000 miles worth of complimentary maintenance, featuring three free oil changes. It's a very enticing offer for those who want to keep their Pathfinder maintained and save money while doing so. There are no significant optional packages available for the model year, so everything you need is contained within the trim offerings, from entry-level options all the way up to fully-featured trims.
When it comes to the trims for the 2025 Pathfinder, you have five options. You have the base S trim to start things off, followed by the SV, the feature-rich SL, the off-road-ready Rock Creek, and the luxury-focused Platinum. Each of these trims gives you something different, depending on your budget and what you desire out of a three-row SUV. The Pathfinder is also available in a variety of different colors, including Scarlet Ember, Obsidian Green Pearl, Deep Ocean Blue, and Baja Storm.

There is a single engine option with two different power outputs depending on the trim, along with two different drivetrain configurations. The standard 3.5-liter V6 produces 284 hp and 259 lb-ft of torque for all of the trims except for the Rock Creek. If you opt for the Rock Creek, then you can enjoy 295 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque, giving you extra muscle for better off-road performance. Both configurations of the V6 are married to a conventional nine-speed automatic transmission.
The 2025 Pathfinder is also available in either front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. You can have every trim except the Rock Creek configured in front-wheel drive for better fuel economy, or you can opt to have the Pathfinder configured in four-wheel drive for better stability, traction, and handling on or off the road. When it comes to fuel economy, you can expect an EPA-estimated 20 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway with front-wheel drive or 21 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway with four-wheel drive.
The Pathfinder features a brake-actuated limited-slip differential for more grip on slippery surfaces, and the Rock Creek trim comes with rugged all-terrain tires for off-road adventures. There is electro-hydraulic power-assisted speed-sensitive steering, so you have a tight, responsive feeling when it comes to maneuvering the Pathfinder. This feature makes precision turning at lower speeds feel very fluid and smoother turning at higher speeds feel very natural. The 2025 Pathfinder is also capable of towing trailers weighing up to 6,000 lbs when properly equipped, which is more than many competitors.
The 2025 Pathfinder is all about convenience, offering up to 16.6 cu.ft. of cargo volume behind the third row, but you can fold down the third row to access up to 45 cu.ft. of cargo space or fold down the second and third rows and access up to 80.5 cu.ft. of cargo space. This gives you a lot of volume to store your belongings, travel equipment, or outdoor gear. You also have available roof racks for even more cargo-carrying capacity, perfect for those who plan on spending a lot of time in the wilderness away from bustling city life.
You can easily access the cargo area of the Pathfinder thanks to the power liftgate, which can be opened remotely with the keyfob on the SL trim. If you opt for the Platinum trim, you will have a proximity power liftgate, which will automatically open if you're nearby with the keyfob in hand. Added luxury features like the available panoramic moonroof also give the interior a lot of life, letting in natural light for passengers inside the cabin. Power-folding heated mirrors are available, along with perimeter approach lights, which meld nicely with the LED lighting array across the trim lineup.
Heated front seats come standard on all but the base trim, while ventilated seats are available on the Platinum trim. Eight-way power front seats with two-way lumbar support help add to the comfort features and complement the heated leather steering wheel. A driver memory seat comes standard on the Platinum trim, along with semi-aniline leather seating. However, the 2025 Pathfinder also features cloth seats, leather seats, and a mixture of cloth and leatherette, depending on the trim.
Multiple interior storage compartments, cup holders, and front console accessibility add to the convenience factors of the Pathfinder, while features like the rain-detecting wipers make it easy to focus on the road instead of fumbling around with a dozen different buttons to get certain features to work. If you are keen on being able to keep your hands on the steering wheel while you adjust media and vehicle settings or answer phone calls, you can do so using the steering wheel quick-access buttons. These kinds of features add a lot of convenience to the Pathfinder for the driver and passengers alike when it comes to comfort, electronics, and drivability.
Nissan has always provided great technology in its vehicles. The 2025 Pathfinder maintains this trend with a lot of nifty tech from top to bottom. This includes remote accessibility, so you can remotely open the vehicle and start it up using the keyfob. Inside, you have two LCD monitors in the first row, including a standard eight-inch touchscreen or available nine-inch touchscreen. There is also a seven-inch reconfigurable digital display cluster for the driver, which is upgraded to a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster in the Platinum trim.
You have media access, app access, Bluetooth wireless streaming, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The NissanConnect system also gives you access to a custom mobile app and Wi-Fi hotspot support for additional convenience. SiriusXM satellite radio adds to the musical and media flavor of the Pathfinder's tech offerings, while real-time weather and traffic displays are excellent for providing you with updates and information about routes and destinations. Plus, with over-the-air updates for the operating system, you can remotely keep your Pathfinder up to date with all of the latest improvements and enhancements that Nissan regularly rolls out for its vehicles.
On the safety front, the Nissan Safety Shield provides Pathfinder drivers and passengers alike with plenty of safety systems to keep you on the road and away from collisions as much as possible. This includes collision prevention systems such as Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention, and Intelligent Lane Intervention.
An available 360-degree Surround View Camera helps with parking. The basic Intelligent Cruise Control system can be upgraded with Nissan's ProPILOT Assist driver assistance technology. Other safety features and driver aids such as brake assist, High Beam Assist, and Traffic Sign Recognition all add to the safety appeal of the Pathfinder, while standard parking sensors make it easy to handle the Pathfinder when it's time to tuck it away in the garage.
