The 2025 Nissan Pathfinder offers five distinct trim levels - S, SV, SL, Rock Creek, and Platinum – so there's no one-size-fits-all option for every shopper. Whether you're looking for affordable family transportation or a luxurious adventure vehicle, there's a new Nissan Pathfinder that will fit your needs. Visit us at Carolina Nissan in Burlington, NC to explore the key differences between the Nissan Pathfinder trim levels and find the ideal fit fory our lifestyle.
Engine, Drivetrain and Performance
All 2025 Nissan Pathfinder trims are powered by a robust 3.5L V6 engine paired with a smooth 9-speed automatic transmission. The V6 generates 284 horsepower on most trims, while the Rock Creek edition gets a small bump to 295 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard on the S, SV, SL and Platinum, with intelligent 4WD available as an option for enhanced traction and capability. The Rock Creek comes standard with 4WD to support its more rugged look and feel, making it ideal for adventurous drivers around the greater Greensboro
Despite its size and power, the Nissan Pathfinder remains relatively efficient. FWD models are estimated at 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, while 4WD versions return 1 mpg less in the city. If you frequently drive in inclement weather or plan to do any light towing, the 4WD Nissan Pathfinder is a smart choice for SUV shoppers in the Raleigh area.
Interior Features & Technology
Inside, the Nissan Pathfinder has space for up to 8 passengers, or 7 in the Rock Creek with standard 2nd-row captain's chairs. Cloth upholstery is standard on S and SV trims, while the SL and Platinum receive leather appointments. The Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek sports unique leatherette seat trim with contrast stitching for a distinctive look.
All Nissan Pathfinder SUVs come well-equipped with amenities like tri-zone automatic climate control, a power driver's seat, push button start, and an 8" touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims add even more comfort and convenience features like a power liftgate, panoramic moonroof, larger 9" display, built-in navigation, WiFi hotspot, wireless phone charging, Bose premium audio, and a 10-way power driver's seat with memory. For families around Raleigh seeking a versatile 3-row SUV that's packed with modern tech, the Nissan Pathfinder SL and Nissan Pathfinder Platinum are worth a closer look.
Advanced Safety Technology
No matter which Pathfinder trim you choose, you'll benefit from Nissan's comprehensive Safety Shield 360 suite of driver assistance technologies. Every Nissan Pathfinder comes standard with automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, and high beam assist. ProPILOT Assist, a semi-autonomous driving aid that can automatically maintain distance from traffic ahead and keep the vehicle centered in its lane, is included on SV trims and above.
Exterior Styling & Options
The bold exterior design of the Nissan Pathfinder gives it a muscular stance and strong presence on the road. 18" alloy wheels are standard on the S, SV and SL, while the Rock Creek and Platinum ride on aggressive 20" wheels. LED headlights provide crisp illumination and a modern aesthetic. For extra visual distinction, the Platinum is accented with chrome exterior trim, and the Rock Creek has black detailing and badging, a unique grille design, and standard roof rails. With all these upscale exterior accents, it's easy to stand out on the streets of Charlotte with the new Nissan Pathfinder.
