The refreshed 2017 Nissan Pathfinder is just now arriving in the automaker's dealership showrooms, where it carries a modest base price increase over the 2016 model—just $160 more for the entry-level Pathfinder S with standard front-wheel drive.

That means that the least expensive Pathfinder available runs $30,890, including a mandatory $900 destination charge. On the flip side, a range-topping Pathfinder Platinum with all-wheel drive runs $44,460 before any options are piled on.

For 2017, the Pathfinder includes host of changes, including a new 3.5-liter V-6 rated at 284 horsepower, an increase of 24 from last year (that's a reasonable $6.67 per horsepower, if you want to look at it that way). 

Additionally, for 2017 the Pathfinder sees some interior and exterior design updates, and it now offers automatic emergency braking as an option. All Pathfinders use the same V-6 and come standard with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is a $1,690 extra for every trim level.

The Pathfinder remains closely related to the Infiniti QX60, which also receives the new V-6. 

Here's a rundown of the 2017 Pathfinder's prices for front-wheel drive models. 

  • Pathfinder S $30,890
  • Pathfinder SV $33,580
  • Pathfinder SL $36,600
  • Pathfinder Platinum $42,770

At the bottom end, the Pathfinder significantly undercuts rivals like the 2017 Ford Explorer ($32,105), the 2016 Mazda CX-9 ($32,420), and the 2016 Toyota Highlander ($32,915).Nissan says that its dealers should be receiving the updated Pathfinder this week.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
