2020 Nissan Pathfinder - Electric Vehicle Guide

The 2020 Nissan Pathfinder belongs to a Nissan Pathfinder lineup that Know Your Ride tracks across 26 model years, from 1986 to 2026. It is an all-electric vehicle, so it skips the oil changes, spark plugs and exhaust-system service of a combustion Pathfinder entirely. It is configured as front-wheel drive with an automatic (variable gear ratios). The 2020 sits mid-run, with both earlier (1986) and later (2026) Pathfinder model years also documented.

The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, separate from the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Routine upkeep centers on tire rotation, DOT 3 brake fluid, Long Life battery/cabin coolant, cabin air filters and brake service rather than engine oil. Know Your Ride lists 13 scheduled maintenance items for this vehicle, the earliest interval falling at 7,500 miles. Documented torque values include lug nut 80 ft-lb.

NHTSA complaints for this vehicle cluster around engine (7), electrical system (4), power train (4). A representative report reads: "The back-up camera and display settings image is no longer visible and the dashboard indicates that it is off. The camera is black and does not display..."

Estimated annual charging cost runs near $1,900.
