Trophy Nissan's 2015 Xterra Review and Research
Remember back when SUVs backed up their rugged good looks with real off-road ability? While most of the competition has decided to domesticate their beasts into timid family-friendly unibody crossovers, the Nissan Xterra still rules the wild. Whether your getaway spot is among the marshes or the mountains; a distant rocky shore or an isolated desert canyon,�2015�Nissan Xterra reviews say this authentic off-roader can get you there and back without breaking a sweat.
The Xterra's bold exterior design features flared fenders, powerful-looking contours, an angled strut grille, a versatile roof rack and a rear bumper with side steps for easy access to the top. The long wheelbase helps smooth the ride and provides ample interior room, while the short front overhang enhances maneuverability in steep hill climbing and tight-twisting trails.
The inside is as ready for adventure as the outside. Durable and easy-to-clean surfaces are a must for real outdoorsmen. The Xterra's upholstery is tough and durable; surfaces are smooth and stain-resistant. Wipe it down and keep going. You'll also find plenty of ways to stow or tie down your gear.
Jump into a 2015 Nissan Xterra in Dallas and notice the sporty reclining front bucket seats. In the back is a 60/40-split folding stadium-style rear seat with removable bottom cushions to make room for hauling long gear. Also standard are the power windows, power locks, remote keyless entry and cruise control with steering wheel-mounted controls.
The Xterra is built on the same fully boxed, all-steel ladder frame as Nissan's Titan pickup and Armada SUV. The rugged suspension features a steel double-wishbone front and solid axle leaf spring rear design, with stabilizer bars front and rear. The powerplant is a muscular 4.0-liter DOHC V6 rated at 261 horsepower and 281 lb.-ft. of torque.
