2027 Nissan Pathfinder Gets Retro Rework For 40th Anniversary

The Nissan Pathfinder has spent four decades going from a relatively compact two-door SUV to a serious off-roader to a somewhat softer three-row unibody family hauler. For its 40th birthday, Nissan is reaching back to the beginning with a new Special Edition that brings 1980s-spec burgundy upholstery back into the picture. There's a little welcome restraint in the pricing announcement, too, with the cheapest 2027 models holding steady and the biggest increase elsewhere coming to just $300. The Special Edition's main attraction is its black and burgundy “TailorFit” upholstery. Nissan says the combination references the burgundy cloth seats in the original 1987 Pathfinder. A bit of color seems like a simple and inoffensive way to celebrate; it also gives this version a more obvious connection to its predecessor than an anniversary badge alone would. Nissan2027. Nissan1987. The theme continues outside through red accents, including the Pathfinder lettering on the liftgate. Black 20-inch alloy wheels round out the exterior changes described by Nissan. Standard equipment includes a panoraic moonroof, second-row captain's chairs, rear-door sunshades, and a Bose sound system.

The 2027 Nissan Pathfinder turns 40 and gets a Special Edition trim with a bold black-and-burgundy interior that references the first generation’s upholstery. The Pathfinder Special Edition also features 20-inch wheels, a 12-speaker Bose sound system, a panoramic sunroof, and a higher towing capacity. The 2027 Pathfinder goes on sale next month, with the front-wheel-drive Special Edition starting at $48,965, and the all-wheel-drive version starting at $50,965. Nissan has officially sold 2 million Pathfinders since its debut in 1986 for the 1987 model year. After 40 years of production, the Pathfinder is still a solid competitor in the mid-size SUV segment, though it’s grown a bit since its initial days as a compact two-door ute. NissanTo celebrate its 40th birthday, the modern three-row SUV is getting all dressed up. Nissan’s 2027 Pathfinder Special Edition brings back iconic aspects of the first-generation Pathfinder to blend its storied past with the present moment. The most recognizable throwback appears inside, which is covered in two-tone black-and-burgundy upholstery, similar to the 1987 model’s interior.

If last week’s headlines proved anything at all, it’s that the long wait for flying, flipping, fully self driving electric vehicles is finally over – especially if you’re shopping at Tesla’s competitors.
