2027 Nissan Pathfinder Special Edition Starts at $48,965 With Destination

Nissan is adding a heritage-themed Special Edition to the 2027 Pathfinder, with U.S. dealership arrival planned for November 2026. The October 19 manufacturer announcement prices it from $47,390 before destination with front-wheel drive, or $49,390 with all-wheel drive.

Including Nissan’s $1,575 destination-and-handling charge, those figures become $48,965 and $50,965 respectively. Taxes, title, licensing and options remain extra; dealers set the actual transaction price.

What the anniversary model adds

The edition marks 40 years since the original 1987-model Pathfinder. Its black-and-burgundy TailorFit upholstery references that earlier SUV’s burgundy cabin, while red exterior accents include the liftgate lettering.

Nissan lists black 20-inch wheels, a panoramic moonroof, second-row captain’s chairs, rear-door sunshades and a 12-speaker Bose audio system. The captain’s chairs make this a seven-passenger configuration, rather than the eight-seat layout available elsewhere in the range.

Where the price sits

For buyers, the useful question is whether the specific interior treatment and equipment justify that step up—not whether the anniversary label alone adds capability. Compare the written equipment list and seating arrangement with the other trims before ordering.
