- Nissan reduces MSRPs on 2025 Rogue and Pathfinder by up to $1,930 per model.
- Rogue now starts at $28,590 while Pathfinder’s base price drops to $36,400 before fees.
- Price cuts contrast industry trend as most automakers are expected to raise prices.
Tariffs are the word of the month, and car buyers are bracing for impact. With the Trump administration’s push to revive American manufacturing by raising prices on imported cars and parts starting April 2, it’s not exactly an ideal time to be shopping for a new ride. Several automakers, from Subaru to Ferrari, have already signaled price hikes, but Nissan is going against the tide, and actually lowering prices on two of its best-selling models: the Rogue and the Pathfinder.

In what feels like a rare flicker of optimism from a company still trying to claw its way out of financial catastrophe, Nissan says it’s sweetening the deal on both models by cutting MSRPs across every trim level.
For the compact Rogue, price cuts range from $640 to $1,930 depending on the trim. The base S FWD now starts at $28,590, while the top-shelf Platinum AWD caps the lineup at $39,990. Under the hood, all Rogue models carry the same setup: a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine delivering 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque, paired with a CVT.

The midsize Pathfinder follows the same playbook, with MSRP reductions ranging from $670 to $1,170 depending on the trim. It now starts at $36,400 for the base S 2WD and goes up to $50,640 for the fully loaded Platinum 4WD. Unlike the Rogue, the Pathfinder sticks with a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 good for 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Both SUVs carry a $1,390 destination and handling fee, which—like everything else—hasn’t gotten any cheaper. And no, drops aren’t going to change the world or even your average monthly payment. But in a market where prices only ever seem to go up, any discount is a win.
