How To Save On A Nissan SUV This Year End

Nissan’s Kicks and Rogue handle daily duty with efficient packaging and modern driver assists, Pathfinder adds three-row space and 6,000-lb towing, and the latest Armada brings serious muscle and cabin polish. The result is a ladder of size, power, and capability that’s easy to match to real-life needs.

Rogue is the cornerstone because it balances family-friendly space with punchy power and strong mileage. For 2026 it pairs a 201-hp VC-Turbo three-cylinder with up to an EPA-estimated 29/36 mpg city/highway, and the 225 lb-ft torque figure helps it feel relaxed at everyday speeds. Inside, there’s generous seating for five and available features like a dual-panel panoramic moonroof and motion-activated liftgate, while the latest Safety Shield technologies and available all-wheel drive keep foul-weather confidence high.

Shoppers can dial Rogue in by trim without chasing option packages. The S and SV cover value and comfort, the new Rock Creek leans into light-trail hardware with all-terrain tires and hill descent control, and Platinum adds the upscale cabin touches and larger display many buyers want. Pricing starts at $28,790 for S FWD and runs to $38,990 for Platinum AWD, with fuel economy ranging up to 32 mpg combined depending on configuration.

Kicks returns as a city-friendly subcompact that now offers available all-wheel drive and a stronger 2.0-liter engine. Output rises to 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque, and the model targets up to 28/35 mpg city/highway. The chassis tuning suits urban errands and highway stints alike, while available dual 12.3-inch displays, wireless smartphone connectivity, and the Intelligent Around View Monitor bring big-car tech to a compact footprint.

Pricing clarity helps Kicks make the short list. The lineup starts at $21,830 before destination and steps through trims that layer in materials and tech rather than cosmetic fluff. EPA estimates reach 31 mpg combined on FWD models and 30 mpg combined on AWD, so running costs stay firmly in check even as cabin tech and safety content mirror what you’d expect in larger SUVs.

Pathfinder takes the baton for families who need three rows and meaningful capability. A 284-hp 3.5-liter V6 and available Intelligent 4x4 underpin towing up to 6,000 pounds, while seven drive and terrain modes help tailor the response for sand, snow, mud, or a tow run. The interior is laid out for real life: available captain’s chairs ease third-row access, and the cabin can be configured for seven or eight passengers with the kind of storage nooks and cargo flexibility that make road trips feel routine.

Trim strategy makes Pathfinder easy to shop. SV, SL, Rock Creek, and Platinum each bring a step up in hardware and comfort, from leather and larger screens to off-road-oriented wheels, tires, and camera views on Rock Creek. Fuel economy reaches an EPA-estimated 21/27 mpg city/highway on many 4x4 trims, and pricing for popular four-wheel-drive versions spans from $41,390 for SV to $50,640 for Platinum, keeping budgets and priorities aligned.

At the top of the range, the redesigned 2026 Armada swaps in a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 and becomes the most powerful Armada yet. With 425 horsepower, 516 lb-ft of torque, and up to 8,500 pounds of towing, it moves its eight-seat cabin with authority and hauls weekend toys without drama. Available features like an Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension, Invisible Hood View camera tech, and the latest connected services elevate both comfort and confidence, on-road and off. (Armada)

Armada’s trim walk reflects distinct use cases as well. SV and SL cover the essentials with tailorable seating and tech, PRO-4X adds hardware and tuning for off-pavement excursions, and Platinum Reserve leans into luxury, with starting MSRPs from $58,840 to $77,550 before destination. Fuel economy lands in the high-teens combined—reasonable for a full-size SUV with this level of capability—while the cabin’s large displays and available premium audio modernize long-haul family travel.

Right now, Nissan is advertising national-program end of season deals to save on the 2025 Pathfinder and the Rogue.

Meanwhile 2025 Rogue also gets 0% APR for 60 months, but does not see the $5,000 discount.
