“Fantastic overall. Two annoyances: drivers seat back squeaks loudly, and the feature that automatically shuts the car off at intersections cannot be permanently disabled.”
2024 Nissan Pathfinder: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Nissan Pathfinder is a true carryover with no major changes. Its five-trim lineup, V6 powertrain, styling, safety features, and in-cabin technology remain unchanged from 2023.
About the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder
5th generation Pathfinder (2022-2025), third model year before the 2026 refresh.
Nissan positions the Pathfinder as a family-sized three-row SUV that blends everyday comfort with real towing strength and available all-weather capability. The core appeal is simple: room for up to eight, useful cargo flexibility, standard safety tech, a traditional V6 instead of a smaller turbo four, and towing capacity that stands out in the class. Rock Creek adds a more outdoorsy angle, but the model’s main job is still family travel, road trips, and hauling people and gear with less drama.
The 2024 Pathfinder ranges from the practical eight-seat S to the luxury-focused Platinum, which has quilted leather, a head-up display, and Bose audio. Rock Creek is the adventure-focused model, with a 295-horsepower V6, standard four-wheel drive, an off-road-tuned suspension, and a tubular roof rack.
