2026 Nissan Pathfinder facelift unveiled, Australian availability unknown

Nissan has revealed the facelift for the fifth-generation Pathfinder, although whether it will be sold in Australia is open to question.

Externally the revised Pathfinder is distinguished by updated front and rear bumpers, with the biggest changes taking place at the front. The grille has a new insert pattern and dispenses with the U-shaped chrome frame.

The grille now incorporates three lighting elements that visually extend the inner edge of the headlights downwards. This links the Pathfinder to the lighting signature used on the Ariya and Leaf EVs. The front bumper also has a set of fake vents extending down from the outer edges of the headlights.

At the rear, changes seem limited to a new silver-finished lower bumper section, at least for range-topping variants. The paint palette has grown to include the Baltic Teal colour seen here.

On the inside, a new 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen sits in the middle of the dashboard, and is standard throughout the range. The faux metal strip separating the air vents from the climate controls is now embossed with the ‘Pathfinder’ word mark.

Wireless Apple CarPlay is now joined by wireless Android Auto, while the wireless smartphone charger has been upgraded to include a cooling fan, and a magnet to keep the phone in the optimal charging position. Its power output has been bumped up from 5W to 15W.

High-spec models with a 360-degree camera system gain a 180-degree wide front view, and an invisible bonnet mode to help drivers position the car better on off-road tracks.
