Nissan has announced a 2027 Pathfinder Special Edition to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the SUV model. This edition features retro design elements inspired by the 1987 original, including a two-tone black-and-burgundy interior, unique badging, and 20-inch black alloy wheels. The model retains a 3.5-liter V6 engine and is expected to arrive at U.S. dealerships in November.

In conjunction with the anniversary, custom R51-generation Pathfinder builds were unveiled for the 2026 SEMA Show. These include the Trackfinder concept, which features a supercharged VQ40 V6 producing 501 horsepower, and the Trailfinder, a V-8 powered off-road vehicle.
