Our expert ratings are based on seven comprehensive criteria: quality, safety, comfort, performance, fuel economy, reliability history and value.

You can interpret our ratings in the following way:

: Outstanding vehicle. Only the most exceptional vehicles achieve this rating.

: Very Good vehicle. Very good and close to being the best vehicle in its class.

: Good vehicle. Decent, but not quite the best. Often affordable, but lacking key features found in vehicles of the same class.

: Below average vehicle. Not recommended, and lacking attributes a car buyer would come to expect for the price.

: Poor vehicle. Simply does not deserve to be on the road.

Overview

Acceleration, however, should please everyone thanks to the standard 4-liter V6 with 261 horsepower and plenty of low-end torque for swift takeoffs. Zero to 60 mph occurs in 8 seconds, quite commendable for a truck-based 4x4, especially at this price point. The Xterra delivers about 17 mpg in combined city and highway driving -- much less than you would get in a crossover of similar interior dimensions.

The interior is subdued and utilitarian, with matte-finish trim and seating available only in gray. The controls are crisp and easy to operate, but most surfaces are clad in hard plastic. The theme here is go-anywhere durability, not refinement. Folks used to driving pickups and 4X4s will feel right at home. That's not to say the Xterra is a brute; it offers plenty of interior space and four-door convenience, though no one would ever mistake it for a passenger-pleasing crossover. It's more of the same on the outside, with matte lower-body cladding, a box-like profile, and a complete absence of chrome except for the Nissan logo.

It's hard to imagine wanting a vehicle like the Xterra without four-wheel drive, which is why it's a ubiquitous option on the base X and midrange S models, and standard on the line-topping Pro-4X. A five-speed automatic transmission is standard across the board, and a six-speed manual is available on the upper two trims, no doubt aimed at off-roaders rather than folks who want to save on gas. The Xterra's rugged looks and utility are enhanced by tubular roof rails, rear privacy glass, and footholds built into the rear bumper ends that give you boost while loading gear on the roof.

The Pro-4X is a serious off-roader, blessed with go-anywhere features like an electronic locking rear differential, hill-descent control, Bilstein shock absorbers, skid plates, roof-mounted driving lights and upgraded tires. It also gets trim-specific cloth or leather seat trim, a rearview camera display, navigation, an upgraded audio system, and other assorted conveniences.
