MakerSource: 2016 Nissan Pathfinder Press Kit (overview, price list and specifications)

A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration.

02 / What changed

New for 2016

The 2016 Pathfinder against the 2015, the previous model year we hold. Only what Nissan’s documents show: nothing here is inferred.

No retail configuration added or dropped: the 8 sold in the 2015 are all here.
Curb weight: 4,263–4,643 lb (2015: 4,260–4,642 lb).
Same range as the 2015: towing, ground clearance and length.
Curb weight differs on 8 of 8 configurations sold in both years: −43 to +4 lb.

04 / Sources

The 2016 documents

2 documents behind the 2016 Pathfinder’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.

Documents last checked Oct 12, 2026. How we read them and what the marks mean: how we source the numbers. A figure doesn’t match its document? Report a wrong number.

These are Nissan’s published figures for the models it describes, not a weighbridge or a tape measure; your own vehicle’s options change them. Found a figure that doesn’t match the document? Tell us.
