The Nissan Xterra is a no-nonsense, body-on-frame sport utility vehicle targeted at those who still use SUVs for their intended purpose: off-road adventuring. The Xterra comes in a number of trims, covering everything from rock-bottom basic to decked-out desert runner. Attractive pricing keeps the Xterra competitive with its main competition: the Jeep Liberty. Fresh from a complete makeover in 2005, the Xterra boasts a fully-boxed frame, powerful standard V6 engine and fresh, modern interior. Also onboard are a number of storage compartments, rack-mounted bins and safety gear designed with the maximum outdoor experience in mind.
