Answer 3

sport-utility vehicles of all types and sizes still leading the sales surge, Nissan knows it needs product right now -- the more the merrier. And it figures it sure won't hurt if one of its new entries finds itself ahead of the pack in at least one important truck category: horsepower.
Underneath, the Pathfinder remains essentially unchanged, with its MonoFrame design (combining the body, floor and frame into a single, rigid structure instead of separate pieces bolted together), its shift-on-the-fly, lever-operated transfer case (still no push-button), and suspension layout mating a five-link rear setup with independent struts up front. Aluminum alloy 16-inch wheels with separate designs for each model are standard on every Pathfinder, along with mud-and-snow-rated steel-belted radials. All models have standard power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel antilock brakes.

Our initial test drive quickly revealed that the 2001 Pathfinder is a much more willing and spirited machine, thanks to its newfound power. Available in either two- or four-wheel-drive configurations and in three different models (a well-equipped XE, sporty SE and loaded LE), this latest generation finally has an engine/transmission combination that lives up to Nissan's sporty heritage.

While maximum horsepower doesn't arrive until WAY up at 6000 rpm (this engine's redline), the kick in the seat of your pants - or the engine's torque - is delivered in a fairly wide band down near its peak of 3200 revs. The combination of the motor's improved smoothness and a quieter drivetrain enhances the perception of overall mechanical quality.

We sampled both automatic and manual transmission models and, while we'll admit a fondness for the stick-shift SE, that's not to say we felt cheated when driving the improved auto box. Shifts are much quieter and smoother than last year's version, and internal gearing and shift points felt well suited to most driving situations that we encountered.

Inside, the new Pathfinder gets a completely restyled instrument stack and center console, plus an available Bose audio system with an in-dash six-disc CD changer and available memory driver's seat. The most commonly used controls are now in the driver's field of vision, and switches are varied in size and shape to ensure that they will be recognized by touch. A white instrument meter cluster (titanium-colored on SE) offers clear gauge readability day or night.

Four-way adjustable front buckets use higher-density foam on the sides to prevent sliding in the seats and a low-density foam center for comfort. Between the seats is a new dual-level center console with padded armrest and built-in 12-volt power source. On either side are large door pockets, and the front passenger seat features a back pocket to collect rear-seat clutter.

Luxury and convenience features include low-cut pile carpeting, an under-dash flip-down coin tray, overhead sunglass storage, a cargo area under-floor mini-storage bin and concealed storage bin in addition to a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat.

Several option packages are offered for 2001 to custom-tailor features to your needs. But the XE model adds a long list of standard equipment that was previously available only as part of an option deal. This includes power windows, heated mirrors and locks, remote keyless entry and vehicle security system, rear cargo area cover, leather-wrapped steering wheel and rear convenience net. The sporty SE now comes standard with halogen fog lights, rear wind deflector, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and the CD unit.
To help distinguish the 2001 model on the outside, body-colored bumpers have been added, as well as a special "3.5" engine badge on the liftgate. But the best news is that the 70-horsepower increase and additional equipment carries no price penalty. Nissan has priced the new Pathfinder to start at $27,649 for the XE 4x2 - the same MSRP as the 2000 model equipped with the XE Popular Package option. And the SE 4x4 with automatic transmission remains at $30,349.
Despite our preference for the Xterra, we'll admit that the Pathfinder has good seats up front and a deceptively large cargo area (85 cubic feet with the rear seats folded). While rear-seat comfort and legroom is not up to par with newer platforms, at least the Pathfinder's underpinnings deliver a taut ride and car-like handling, as well as strong brakes and decent steering.
We'll also admit to being somewhat surprised at just how much the improved NVH and additional overall performance have changed the Pathfinder's personality. Nissan says the 2001 4WD model with automatic transmission is better than two full seconds faster from 0-60 mph than last year's truck. And nobody we know complains about having too much power.
"The new Pathfinder is deceptively fast and has a true performance engine note -- a benefit of the most powerful SUV V6 engine in America," said Jed Connelly, Nissan North America's vice president and general manager. "With the addition of a refined interior, our 2001 Pathfinder is truly worthy of its flagship status."
For our money, we'd like to see what kind of flagship SUV Nissan can deliver based on its upcoming full-size pickup. Until then, we're not sure that more power and refinement alone will keep the new Pathfinder high on SUV buyers' shopping list. On the other hand, it can't hurt.
