The engine

VQ

3.5L Naturally Aspirated V6

The VQ35 is a smooth, willing naturally aspirated V6 that delivers flexible, linear power, equally at home hauling a Pathfinder or revving out in a sports car.

A member of Nissan's acclaimed VQ V6 family introduced in 2001, the VQ35DE went on to power everything from the 350Z and Infiniti G35 to the Murano and Pathfinder.
