What Nissan Pathfinder do most buyers choose?

The Nissan Pathfinder years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing competition, and a newer feature set that still sits within a used-car budget. They also line up with the current-generation Pathfinder's strongest mix of space, tech, and family-friendly appeal.

What is the Nissan Pathfinder's resale value?

Most Pathfinder model years in the table are down year over year, which is helpful if you're shopping used and want more room to negotiate. The steepest drops are concentrated in several newer and mid-cycle years, while a few older years are falling more slowly. That pattern suggests you can find meaningful value across much of the lineup, especially if you're flexible on model year.

The 2017, 2023, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
