Description

Redesigned for 2005, Nissan's Xterra is still geared toward the youth market. It's fitted with a standard 4.0-liter V-6 that's rated at 265 horsepower and 284 pounds-feet of torque. Rear- and four-wheel-drive models are offered, and an offroad edition is available. Wheels as large as 17 inches in diameter are offered. Changes are minor for 2007. The roof rack and its covered gear box now come standard, and mudguards are included on all four-wheel-drive models. An MP3 audio playback feature is now standard in the SE model and still included in a Rockford Fosgate Audio Package. The Off-Road model features a leather-wrapped steering wheel and sunglass holder, and bodyside molding is standard on SE models. Sandstone is a new exterior color.
