Powerful, versatile, and surprisingly compact, the 2012 Nissan Xterra is a fully functional SUV in an affordable package. You'll have plenty of power in reserve with the standard-equipped 4.0 liter, 261 horsepower V6. And with its independent double-wishbone front suspension and power rack-and-pinion steering, the Xterra is one smooth operator.
The Xterra is designed with maximum safety and durability in mind and boasts a body-on-frame construction and high-strength side-door guard beams. Every trim also comes with jewel-type halogen headlights, a sandblast aluminum color front bumper, and black bodyside moldings. Loading in your cargo is a breeze, too, with a 1-piece rear liftgate.
The Xterra goes to great lengths to make sure your journey from point A to point B is thoroughly enjoyable. In addition to cushy front bucket seats and an adjustable tilt steering column, every trim comes with power windows and locks for your convenience. An air conditioning system, cruise control, and a remote keyless entry system will take the stress out of your driving.
