2015 Nissan Xterra in Brandon, MS - $14,250

From the iconic roof rack with integrated gearbox and the PRO-4X model's rack-mounted off-road lights, to the highly functional cargo area with available Utili-Track channel system, the 2015 Nissan Xterra is designed to help outdoor enthusiast "attack life" wherever they go.

The 2015 Xterra is offered in eight available exterior colors: Glacier White, Cayenne Red, Metallic Blue, Brilliant Silver, Night Armor, Super Black, Lava Red and SolarFlare Yellow (late availability).

The Nissan SUV’s exterior design includes large flared fenders, a powerful-looking hood and headlights, Nissan SUV-style angled strut grille, a versatile roof rack with latchable lid and a rear bumper design with side steps for easy access to the roof rack.

Offered in X, S and PRO-4X models, power for the Xterra is generated by a VQ40 4.0L V6 prime mover. Two advanced transmissions are offered: an available electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission, with an emphasis on acceleration, fuel economy and shift quality, or a six-speed manual gearbox tuned for driving performance and fuel economy.

Xterra is offered in 4x2 or 4x4 configurations. The 4x4 models feature a part-time 4WD system with 2WD/4HI/4LO modes and electronically controlled transfer case. The engine's Electronic Throttle Control system includes secondary mapping in 4LO (4WD models).

The Nissan SUV’s long wheelbase helps provide a smooth ride and ample interior room, yet its overall length is highly manageable due to the short front overhang – helping to enhance maneuverability in off-road hill climbing and trail situations.

Starting with a rugged, truck-based platform, the body-on-frame Xterra features a fully boxed, all-steel ladder frame shared with the Nissan 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. Xterra PRO-4X models offer Bilstein® high-performance gas shocks, a rear tire deflector and skid plates covering the oil pan, fuel tank and transfer case.

Inside the passenger cabin is a distinct "multi-flex" interior with room enough for up to five adults and their gear, with ample legroom, headroom and cargo room.

Standard interior features include sporty reclining front bucket seats and a 60/40-split folding stadium-style rear seat with removable seat bottom cushions that creates added utility for hauling long recreational gear. Other standard equipment includes dual front and rear 20-ounce cupholders, power windows, power locks, Remote Keyless Entry and cruise control with steering wheel-mounted controls.

PRO-4X models feature unique seat cloth and white contrasting stitching, with leather-appointed seating available as part of the PRO-4X Leather Package (automatic transmission only). Xterra's versatile cargo area is highlighted by an available Easy Clean Surface and a total of 10 cargo area utility hooks – six on the floor/sides and four on the ceiling (floor hooks can carry up to 110 pounds each).

There is also an available built-in first-aid kit and space to securely carry jugs up to a one-gallon size. Securing bike racks and other accessories or gear is made easier with an available adjustable channel system in the cargo floor, similar in design to the Utili-track® system offered on the Nissan Titan and Frontier pickups (standard on S and PRO-4X models).
