The Nissan Xterra is a compact SUV based on the Nissan F-Alpha platform as of the 2005 model year, and shares many similarities with the Nissan Frontier pickup. The Xterra is slotted below the Pathfinder in Nissan's lineup. All Xterras are currently built in Smyrna, Tennessee and São José dos Pinhais, Brazil. It is called the Nissan Roniz in Iran where it is also built under licence by Pars Khodro, and is built and sold in China as the Paladin. The Xterra was named after the XTERRA series of off-road triathlon races. Nissan was the race series' primary sponsor until the end of 2006.

The Xterra was originally introduced in North America in the 2000 model year and was marketed as a simple, but capable SUV with the slogan Everything you need, nothing you don't. Although accepted by a wide range of ages, incomes, lifestyles and genders, Nissan marketed the Xterra primarily to the adventurous and outdoor consumer. Many commercials feature one driving the vehicle though mud, unloading mountain bikes out of the back, or packing up surfing equipment. Two design cues have remained constant through the vehicle's life, its raised rear roofline and the 'Hump' on the back lift gate. The raised roof allows for stadium seating and the hump allowed the inclusion of a first aid kit in the liftgate. Originally, it was added for functional reasons. The Xterra was not sold in Europe or Japan, where the smaller X-Trail and now Qashqai are Nissan's entries in the compact SUV segment.

First generation

2000–2001

During its first two years, there were three Xterra models. Base XEs came with the 4 cylinder KA24DE motor similar to the ones found in the Nissan Altima and 240SX, were manual transmission only, steel wheels, and lacked accessories such as the step rails and a roof rack. The Nissan 240SX was a car introduced to the North American market by Nissan in 1989 and sold there until 1998. ...


XE Xterras were the main seller for Nissan. XEs could be configured with several option packages, to add features such as the roof rack, side step-rails, or the 3.3-litre V6. The XE proved to be the most popular of the trim levels, with more flexibility on equipment options. A fully loaded XE had almost all the features of the top-of-the-line SE model (minus the flip-up sunroof), while costing an average of $2,000 less. The Ford Essex V6 engine V6 and V-6 redirect here. ...


The SE was the premium trim level for the Xterra. Everything which was an option on the XE came standard on the SE. Nissan, to set apart a fully-optioned XE and the SE added a flip-up sunroof and special badging to the back of the truck ("Xterra SE" rather than just "Xterra"). Several options were available for SE buyers; items such as mudflaps, carpeted floormats, cargo liners, and ventilation microfilters could be added for an additional charge.


2002–2004

Xterra was freshened for 2002. The interior received a redesigned dash and center console, while the biggest changes were to the top-of-the-line powerplant and the front end. In 2001 Nissan restyled the front end of the Frontier aggressively and added overhead clearance in the engine bay. In 2002 Nissan brought similar changes to the Xterra, including Nissan's new 210 hp 3.3-liter Roots Type Supercharger V6. A Roots blower The Roots type supercharger or Roots blower is a positive displacement type device which operates by pulling air through a pair of meshing lobes not unlike a set of stretched gears. ...

Color was also revised in 2002. Aztec Red and Kaki were dropped, while Shock Blue, Sedona, and Molten Lava were introduced. Atomic Orange was later added, but proved short lived. In addition, the audio systems were upgraded. The premium audio system, a 6-disk AM/FM/CD with 6 speaker setup, was replaced with a 300W Rockford Fosgate AM/FM/CD system with 8 speakers and a large subwoofer that took up a portion of the rear storage area.

Second generation

2005–present

2007 Nissan Xterra Off-Road Model

In 2005, the Xterra was redesigned on a new platform shared by the Nissan Titan and Nissan Frontier. The new model is larger in all dimensions than its predecessor. Utilizing Nissan's 4.0L VQ40DE engine, it produces 265 hp. The new engine is an improvement upon Xterra's previous powerplant, more refined and incorporating variable valve timing. Available with a rear differential locker on the off-road model, the Xterra competes with other SUVs of its size. The Xterra is due for a refresh of the 2nd Generation in 2009 model year.[1] Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...

ROCKCRAWLER.com - 2002 Nissan Xterra (682 words)
For those not familiar with Nissans, the base trim level is the XE, whereas the SE is the higher level.
The power is immediately available, unlike a turbo-charged motor, but in all honesty, after driving the Xterra for a week, we felt the supercharger really brought the power to weight ratio right around where it should be in the first place.
If we were to buy an Xterra, we would certainly want the supercharged model, despite the fact that it requires premium fuel and has the potential for more maintenance down the road.
