Nissan VQ35DE specs: 3.5L (213.6 ci) 6-cylinder, 95.5 x 81.4 mm (3.7598 x 3.2047 in) bore and stroke. Built 2010–2014. Used in the Nissan Pathfinder. DOHC.

The Nissan VQ35DE is oversquare — the 3.7598" bore exceeds the 3.2047" stroke by 17.3% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.2047" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,500 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 35.6 ci (583 cc).

3 factory variants share these dimensions across 2010–2014.
