The Biggest News: Pathfinder Turns 40
The 2027 Nissan Pathfinder celebrates four decades of helping families explore, travel and discover new destinations.
Originally introduced for the 1987 model year, the Nissan Pathfinder has grown from a rugged two-door SUV into a versatile three-row family vehicle. For 2027, Nissan honors that heritage with an all-new Pathfinder Special Edition.

The Special Edition introduces distinctive red exterior accents, black 20-inch wheels and an exclusive black-and-burgundy interior inspired by the original Pathfinder.
The 2027 model builds on the substantial updates introduced for 2026, including refreshed styling and enhanced standard infotainment technology. It is an evolution of the current Pathfinder rather than an all-new generation.
