2026 Nissan Pathfinder · Trims · SL
What is the 2026 Nissan Pathfinder SL?
The second-cheapest of the Pathfinder's four trims in our data. Manufacturer checked October 17, 2026, excluding $1,575 , taxes and fees. The SL starts at $42,590. On price, it sits between the SV ($39,990) and the Rock Creek ($45,090).
Our Pathfinder data has all four current US 2026 , all seven trim/drive combinations, both bench and captain’s-chair variants, Platinum captain’s chairs and factory splash guards. It doesn't have paint/interior colors, port/dealer , exact option-adjusted weights, order-bank status and vehicle-specific towing approval yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.
