What Nissan Pathfinder do most buyers choose?

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

Higher-volume years tend to be the easiest used picks to shop because you get more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right price, mileage, and equipment mix. They also tend to attract more deal listings, which can help you narrow in on better-value examples.

What is the Nissan Pathfinder's resale value?

Most Pathfinder model years are down year over year, and several recent ones show double-digit declines. That pattern can work in your favor if you want a used SUV with more room in the budget than it had a year ago. The newer models are also seeing meaningful price drops, which can improve value if you want fresher features without paying new-car pricing.

The 2023, 2017, and 2014 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
