2026 Nissan Pathfinder Consumer Reviews

We love our Pathfinder it's comfortable, quite and has been a very reliable vehicle for the last 3 years. I definitely recommend.

I have owned my Pathfinder since October 2025. We really enjoy the vehicle and feel it is one of the best Vehicles we have ever owned.

So far it has been great. Since I have less than 1000 miles it would make more sense to discuss WHY I purchased this vehicle. Came from a 2015 QX60 Luxe. It gave me 125k trouble free miles so I am familiar with and trust Nissan products. Compared Pathfinder to current QX60 the Honda Pilot and the Kia Telluride. 2025 QX60 only has the VC Turbo 4cyl, also had more capacitive touch buttons on the center stack. I prefer more real buttons. Honda Pilot was pretty close, but on average was 4-5 thousand more than the Pathfinder - not worth the extra cost. Telluride is also nice but I felt the Pathfinder was more comfortable and looked nicer. More front legroom. I didn't hate or have issues with the Nissan CVT's but happier with the new ZF 9 speed in the Pathfinder. Looking forward to putting 100k plus miles on the new SUV and will report back if anything becomes disappointing!

Note: No compensation for this review, just my opinion. The 2025 Pathfinder, Rock Creek Edition, is THE standard for versatile SUV’s…it’s the one that’s great on gas (all things considered) exceeds all expectations (interior, exterior) can be rock crawling in the morning, at soccer practice in the afternoon and after a quick wash, beautiful enough to pull in front of The Bellagio’s valet parking, for all to see. With a 6,000 lb tow capacity, it tows more than most small trucks. The third row seating is VERY accessible and comfortable, unlike other SUV’s. The roof rack holds 200 lbs, NOT 50 lb’s like others, and the metallic paint job is beautiful. In the road, you can see other SUV’s trying to copy it, but no way, especially for this price. Currently, and just checked, the trade in value on mine is more than I paid for it a year ago. Try getting that on any other car, any other brand. All in all, very satisfied, Nissan hit a home run with this one!

I bought the suv new sharp looking blue suv dark wheels really nice interior. Drove it 3.5 yrs fairly good mileage with it. The highest I ever got was 29 mpg driving around 65 mph other than that it was around 23-24 on the highway enjoy the interior features and the driving features of it. Lotta safety stuff on it that I finally got used to as time went on. I found out that it could drive itself if I would just lay my arms in the steering wheel and it would go down the road by itself. It would follow the road perfectly Cons seats weren’t very comfortable. They could’ve done a better job of the seats in there. The passenger side was too low to the ground and I could not elevate that seat. Seats should of went back another 4 inches the stop and idle speed on it when I would put it in park the engine would rev up. I never understood that feature as I thought I was wasting more gas than saving.

We bought a 2024 Nissan Pathfinder SL in 2025 as a leftover model so we got an amazing deal. We love everything about the Pathfinder and find it more luxurious than our Acura. Can’t beat the double overhead cam VQ v6 engine will last forever. The tech is great - car keeps you in your lane and steers itself and keeps speed constant when in cruise control. Lots of cool little features - kids love the window blinds. Four wheel drive system is amazing - great in snow and ice. Lots of room - love the compartment for groceries etc. under the floor in the back. The engine does turn off at red lights etc. but get over it. All cars do this now. It’s an amazing vehicle - should be on your short list if you are looking for a SUV.

Besides the lack of power and noisy ride, I rented from enterprise as a "upgrade rental" the pathfinder revealed an UGLY feature that put me in a BAD position. Upon pulling up to drop off something at my work my wife left the car running and key fob INSIDE. The car then locked all the doors itself with no way to access without spare FOB. Good thing I didnt leave any animal inside .

great vehicle that fits our family and family needs from kid's sports/games to bringing supplies for DIY home projects home
