The new engine is based on the Nissan VQ engine series currently used in the 2000 Maxima – an engine named as one of Ward’s Auto World magazine’s “10 Best Engines” for six consecutive years. The previous Pathfinder engine was a SOHC 3.3-liter design (designated the VG series) producing 170 horsepower and 200 ft-lbs of torque.

Rated at 250 horsepower and 240 ft-lbs of torque with the 5-speed manual transmission and 240 horsepower and 265 ft-lbs of torque for 4-speed automatic transmission-equipped models, Pathfinder now has more horsepower than some V8s available on competitors’ compact sport utility vehicles.
The 2001 Pathfinder receives a significant improvement in power with the addition of a new VQ35DE DOHC 3.5-liter 24-valve V6. The 2001 model completes the transformation of this generation Pathfinder – originally introduced in 1996 with an entirely new body, interior and innovative MonoFrame® chassis design and enhanced as a 1999.5 model with additional refinements to the exterior and its premium equipment packaging. “Now, we’ve enhanced this new model with available features such as All-Mode 4WD, the Nissan Mobile Entertainment System and our innovative Birdview™ navigation system.” “The 2001 model year got off to a quick start with the introduction of Pathfinder’s powerful new V6,” said Bill Kirrane, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc. The 2001 Nissan Pathfinder premium sport utility vehicle recently entered the Nissan lineup featuring an all-new 250-horsepower engine based on the same technology as Nissan Maxima’s award-winning V6, available All-Mode 4WD® System (LE), a restyled interior with a new instrument panel and center console and available navigation system, and more standard power and convenience features, including a rear seat entertainment system with video cassette player and flip-down ceiling-mounted screen.
