What Are Infiniti 2001 QX4 Specifications?

The 2001 Infiniti QX4 is a luxury sport utility vehicle produced by Nissan. The QX4 was a first generation model manufactured from 1997 to 2003. The QX45 replaced the QX4 in 2004. The 2001 model was the QX4's only major redesign before the QX45 debuted. The SUV was originally a four-wheel-drive model, but the 2001 QX4 also featured two-wheel-drive.

Power

The 2001 Infiniti QX4 SUV is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine with a 10:1 compression ratio, double overhead cam and four valves per cylinder. The engine's bore measures 3.75 inches and the stroke is 3.20 inches. Premium gasoline is delivered from a multi-point fuel injection system to the cylinders to generate 240 horsepower and 265 ft.-lbs. of torque. Torque is the twisting power generated in the engine to give the QX4 fast acceleration. The engine is equipped with an auxiliary oil and transmission cooler. The 3.5-liter V6 was new equipment for the QX4 in 2001. It was based on the 3-liter 240-horsepower V6 that powered the 2000 Infiniti I30. The new V6 added 70 more horsepower over the previous QX4 3.3.-liter V6. The new V6 was matched with an electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission.
