Updated design, premium cabin features and advanced safety technologies strengthen the family SUV’s appeal

Nissan has introduced the refreshed 2026 Pathfinder in the Middle East, featuring updated exterior styling, enhanced cabin comfort and a range of advanced safety technologies.

The refreshed Pathfinder adopts a more commanding appearance with a redesigned front grille, updated front and rear bumpers, streamlined fascias, satin-finished badging and a straight tailpipe.

A new Grayish Turquoise exterior with a Super Black roof is available exclusively as a dual-tone combination. Higher grades also feature redesigned 20-inch machine-cut alloy wheels, while LED headlights with integrated front fog lamps come as standard.

Thierry Sabbagh, DVP, President - Middle East, KSA, India, CIS - Nissan and INFINITI, said the refreshed Pathfinder reflects Nissan’s focus on premium design, comfort and safety for customers across the region.

Inside, the SUV offers a 2+3+3 seating layout for up to eight passengers. The standard EZ FLEX® second-row seating system allows easier access to the third row, while the 60/40 split-folding second and third rows can be folded flat to provide up to 2,279 litres of cargo space.

The cabin is equipped with features including front massage seats, four-way lumbar support, ventilated seating and quilted Nappa leather on selected configurations. A panoramic sunroof and Bose® 12-speaker premium audio system further enhance the interior.

The Pathfinder is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.5-litre V6 engine producing 271 horsepower and 340 Nm of torque. It is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission with manual mode and paddle shifters.

Models equipped with Intelligent 4x4 feature a terrain mode selector with seven driving modes: Standard, Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand, Mud/Rut and Tow. The SUV also offers a 1,500 kg towing capacity, Trailer Sway Control and Hill Descent Control.
