The Nissan Pathfinder, fresh off a face lift, is returning to the Canadian market in 2026, albeit at higher starting prices as it skips some previous less-expensive trims.

The midsize three-row SUV was one of several vehicles Nissan Canada stopped importing from the United States in 2025 due to Canada’s counter-tariffs on U.S.-assembled vehicles.

The company said the 2026 Pathfinder will reach Canadian dealerships in the spring.

For 2026, it skips the base S and one-up SV trims and now starts with the Rock Creek trim with a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $55,398.

To compare that to last year’s prices, the 2025 Pathfinder base S model had a starting MSRP of $47,198, while the Rock Creek version (the new base model) had started at $53,198.

About the 2026 Pathfinder

The Pathfinder received updated front and rear fascias, satin exterior badges as well as a new colour, Baltic Teal.

On the inside, the Pathfinder gets an updated dashboard with a larger touchscreen, now measuring 12.3 inches, and embossed “PATHFINDER” lettering.

All versions get standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a Qi2 wireless charger.

The Platinum grade rides on new 20-inch wheels and the seats get a new quilting pattern and wood-tone trim.

There are two new camera systems that are now standard. One is Front Wide View, which offers a 180-degree view to the front and sides of the vehicle. The other is Invisible Hood View, which offers a virtual view through the vehicle’s hood and engine bay. The systems build on the HD Intelligent Around View Monitor, which had already been available previously.
