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.

For 2009, the Nissan Xterra gets a new grille and front fascia, along with a new center console panel. Standard equipment now includes side-impact airbags in front and full-length airbag curtains.
