Powertrain Options and Availability
Nissan's 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine developed 175 horsepower and 150 pounds-feet of torque. Installed only in the 3.5 SE, the 3.5-liter dual-overhead cam V6 produced 240 horsepower and 246 pounds-feet. Both engines were offered with either a five-speed manual gearbox or a four-speed automatic transmission. For 2005, an added SE-R model gets a 260-hp V6. Manual and optional automatic transmissions are offered, but V6 now use a 5-speed automatic vs. 4-cyl models' 4-speed.
