Enhanced Design and Styling

The 2026 Pathfinder showcases updated front and rear fascias that strengthen its adventurous stance. Satin exterior badges replace previous chrome elements, creating a more contemporary appearance. A striking new Baltic Teal colour joins the palette, offering drivers a fresh option that stands out on Alberta roads.

Inside the spacious three-row cabin, the restyled dashboard accommodates a larger touchscreen while adding embossed "PATHFINDER" lettering below the infotainment system. These changes enhance both functionality and visual appeal.

The Platinum grade receives additional refinements, including a new 20-inch wheel design, updated seat quilting patterns, and wood-tone interior trim. Black roof rails replace the previous silver finish, contributing to the model's refined aesthetic.

Technology Upgrades

All 2026 Pathfinder grades now feature a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. This upgrade eliminates cable clutter while keeping drivers connected to their devices.

The redesigned wireless device charger delivers improved power output - three times higher than the previous generation. A built-in cooling fan reduces heat buildup during charging, while magnetic phone positioning keeps compatible devices in the optimal spot.

Advanced Camera Systems

Two innovative camera systems join Pathfinder's standard HD Intelligent Around View Monitor:

• Front Wide View: Provides a 180-degree perspective to the front and sides, helping drivers see past parked vehicles or navigate obscured garage entrances
• Invisible Hood View: Offers a virtual view through the hood and engine bay, assisting with precise wheel positioning for car wash tracks, drive-through curbs, and similar situations

These systems work together to simplify parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces.

Performance and Capability

The 2026 Pathfinder continues with a proven 3.5-litre V6 engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers up to 295 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque in the Rock Creek grade, providing responsive acceleration for highway merging and confident passing power.

Paddle shifters give drivers manual control when desired, while idle stop-start technology - which can be deactivated with a button press - helps optimize fuel efficiency during city driving.

Standard Intelligent 4x4 includes a rotary drive-mode selector with seven options to match varying terrain: Auto, Eco, Tow, Sport, Sand, Mud, and Rut.

With a standard towing capacity of 2,722 kg (6,000 lbs), Pathfinder handles trailers, boats, and recreational equipment with ease.

Rock Creek: Off-Road Ready

The Pathfinder Rock Creek grade targets drivers who venture beyond pavement. This configuration includes off-road-tuned suspension, a lifted ride height, and all-terrain tires that enhance capability on challenging surfaces.

Visual distinctions set Rock Creek apart: a unique front bumper and grille, LED fog lights, a tubular roof rack, Rock Creek-specific leatherette seats, and Lava Red interior stitching elements create a rugged appearance that matches its capabilities.

New for 2026, Rock Creek adds a panoramic moonroof, wireless phone charger, and a 12-volt power outlet in the cargo area - features that bring additional comfort and convenience to off-road adventures.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 provides comprehensive protection through multiple advanced systems. Intelligent Forward Collision Warning monitors traffic ahead and alerts drivers to potential hazards.

ProPILOT Assist and Intelligent Cruise Control simplify highway driving by managing acceleration, braking, and steering in single-lane traffic. These systems reduce driver fatigue on long road trips while maintaining safe following distances.

The Pathfinder earned a NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating, reflecting Nissan's focus on engineering vehicles that prioritize occupant protection.

Interior Space and Flexibility

Pathfinder accommodates eight passengers across three rows, or seven with available second-row captain's chairs on the Platinum grade. The second-row seats tilt and slide forward to provide easier third-row access, and Nissan's LATCH AND GLIDE technology allows this movement even with a child safety seat installed.

The cargo area offers 470 litres of storage behind the third row, expanding to 2,279.5 litres with the second and third rows folded. A standard motion-activated liftgate simplifies loading when hands are full.

Platinum Grade Refinements

Beyond the styling enhancements, Pathfinder Platinum includes premium features that elevate the ownership experience:

• Semi-aniline leather-appointed seats with quilting
• Metal front kickplates
• Ambient interior lighting
• Bose premium audio system with 13 speakers
• Memory settings for driver's seat and exterior mirrors
• Rain-sensing wipers
• Power-folding exterior mirrors that tilt down when reversing

These details create a more luxurious environment for daily driving and extended journeys.
