The Nissan Xterra is a compact SUV that was introduced to the Nissan lineup in 2000. It was marketed as a simple, but capable adventurous vehicle with the slogan “Everything you need, nothing you don't.” Living up to its slogan, the Xterra is a well though out vehicle that satisfies the needs of the active outdoor owner. Fully redesigned in 2005, the Xterra provides great cargo space, an excellent driving experience, very functional conveniences, modern technology, and a rugged build all in one.
