Powered by a strong V6, the Nissan Xterra is the smaller, less-expensive member of Nissan's mid-size, off-road-adventure team. Nissan has kept the Xterra true to its original concept.

The Xterra received minor changes to the exterior and interior for 2009. For 2010, the Nissan Xterra comes with the previous Gear Package as standard on S and SE models, and what was the Technology Package is now standard on SE and Off-Road models.
