EXPERT REVIEW · THREE-ROW SUV

2026 Nissan Pathfinder review

Nissan Pathfinder: the family hauler that doesn't feel like one. Illustrative review

9.0/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Nissan Pathfinder sits near the top of its class. Roomy second row and flexible cargo floor; ride stays composed on rough pavement. Third row (where offered) is for kids and price climbs fast with options, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $38,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Good, not perfect

Replaced an older Nissan with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.

★★★★★Lillian G. · Kansas City, MO · 4 months owned
Solid, with a few quirks

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.

★★★★★Hannah B. · Denver, CO · 32 months owned
Solid, with a few quirks

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.
