2020 Nissan Pathfinder Trims Comparison

The S trim comes with a decent set of features and surprises, including roof rails, three-zone climate control, and a sliding/reclining second-row seat. In-cabin tech includes Bluetooth, an 8-inch touchscreen interface, a six-speaker sound system with CD/HD radio/satellite radio, and dual USB ports (one Type A and one Type C) for both front and rear passengers. Automatic emergency braking and reverse parking sensors also come standard.

Moving up to the SV adds a few more driver assistance features, such as blind-spot warning and adaptive cruise control, as well as amenities such as a power-adjustable driver's seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Next up is the SL, our recommended trim. It offers several more premium features than the SV for a reasonable price increase, with highlights that include a hands-free liftgate, heated front and rear seats, leather upholstery and a navigation system.

Finally, the Platinum adds luxury touches such as a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and a premium Bose audio system. A rear-seat entertainment system with dual 8-inch headrest displays is optional for the Platinum only.

The Rock Creek Edition, available for SL and SV trims, includes blacked-out exterior trim such as 18-inch wheels, grille, roof rails and other exterior accents. Notably, this package also adds a trailer tow hitch and wiring harness. Choosing the Rock Creek Edition means you can also pad on two other separate packages with features such as the panoramic sunroof, heated front cloth seats and the Bose audio system.
