What is Under the 2025 Pathfinder’s Hood?
The Pathfinder’s engine hasn’t changed for the new model year—it retains the 3.5-liter V-6 but Nissan has dropped the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) of 2024. A nine-speed automatic transmission has taken its place.
The V-6 delivers 284 horsepower across most trims, with the exception of 295 horsepower in the Rock Creek trim. Front-wheel drive is standard across all trims, but the Rock Creek, which features all-wheel drive as standard. It is optional in the other trims. If you drive using the all-wheel-drive system you have access to seven drive modes to guide you on rough terrain.
