The 2001 Nissan Pathfinder, part of the model's third generation, is a solid entry into the SUV segment. It comes equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine capable of producing 240 horsepower, mated to a formidable 4-speed automatic transmission, with an option for a 5-speed manual in certain trims. There are four trims available – XE, SE, LE, and LE Platinum. All models feature optional 4WD besides the standard RWD. Inside, the Pathfinder provides a comfortable and premium-equipped interior, including a quality sound system. However, the 2001 model does not include modern infotainment features common in newer vehicles, such as touchscreens or connectivity software like CarPlay or Android Auto. As for safety, it includes front airbags and ABS brakes, but lacks more advanced driver assist technologies.
