Nissan Xterra

Automobiles

The Nissan Xterra is a truck-based compact SUV that Nissan manufactured and marketed from 1999 to 2015 across two generations, the first sharing much of its front body with the D22 Frontier pickup and the second using the F-Alpha platform shared with the Frontier and Pathfinder. It took its name from the XTERRA off-road triathlon series and was positioned as functional and reliable outdoor gear. Developed in La Jolla, California by Nissan Design International under Tom Semple, it became the first Nissan vehicle completely conceived, developed and manufactured in the United States. Its two-box body with a tiered roof, body-on-frame build and skid plates stressed ruggedness over luxury, with the 3.3 litre VG33E V6 first and the 4.0 litre VQ40DE V6 later. A return is planned for 2028.
