Exploring the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder Trim Levels

Let’s unpack what each 2025 Nissan Pathfinder trim brings to the table so you can pick the perfect option before you even step onto the lot.

Pathfinder SV: Value-Packed and Adventure-Ready

Starting around $41,390, the SV is anything but basic. You get the same 284-hp 3.5-liter V6, nine-speed automatic transmission, and selectable Intelligent 4×4 drive modes found higher in the lineup. Inside, eight-passenger seating, tri-zone climate control, and Nissan Safety Shield® 360 make daily errands effortless and safe.

If you want robust capability without premium pricing, the S nails the fundamentals.

Pathfinder SL: Comfort and Convenience Upgrades

For roughly $2,700 more, the SV adds remote engine start, leather seats, and a heated steering wheel—small luxuries that feel huge during Midwest winters.

Tech gets a bump too: a power driver’s seat with lumbar support and ProPILOT Assist take the edge off long I-70 hauls. With the optional SL Premium Package, you unlock the 6,000-lb towing capacity and a panoramic moonroof, making this trim the sweet spot for value-seekers.

Pathfinder Rock Creek: Off-Road Swagger

Craving extra ground clearance and rugged style? The Rock Creek trim (about $44,490) swaps in beadlock-style wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires and a tubular roof rack ready for kayaks or camping gear. Horsepower gets a small bump to 295 hp, while an Off-Road Mode within the Intelligent Around View® Monitor shows wheel placement over tricky terrain.

It’s the trim for drivers who split time between city streets and dirt trails.

Pathfinder Platinum: Peak Luxury & Tech

At roughly $50,640, Platinum crowns the lineup with semi-aniline leather, ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and a fully digital 12.3-inch gauge cluster. A head-up display projects speed and nav cues onto the windshield, while the Intelligent Around View® Monitor eases parking downtown. If you want every bell and whistle Nissan offers, Platinum is your go-to.

Which Trim Fits Your Drive?

• Budget-Minded Families: The Pathfinder SV delivers core capability and safety at the lowest cost.
• Premium Seekers: The SL layers in leather and upgraded tech without Platinum pricing.
• Weekend Warriors: The Rock Creek’s off-road hardware and styling make back-road adventures easy.
• Luxury Lovers: The Platinum’s high-end materials and advanced driver aids redefine mainstream SUVs.

No matter which you choose, every Pathfinder offers up to 22 combined mpg, seating for eight (or seven with captain’s chairs), and a standard Safety Shield® 360 suite, including Automatic Emergency Braking and Blind-Spot Intervention: for peace of mind on Missouri highways.
