2012 Nissan Xterra

Available in three well-equipped models – X, S, and PRO-4X – all 2012 Xterras feature an advanced 4.0-liter DOHC V6 engine, rated at 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, along with a rugged 'F-Alpha' truck platform for adventure-ready performance. The 'F-Alpha' platform is shared with the full-size Nissan Titan pickup and Armada SUV. Xterra is available with a choice of 6-speed manual (S 4x4 and PRO-4X 4x4 only) or 5-speed automatic transmissions, and in a choice of part-time 4-wheel drive or 2-wheel drive. And, while maintaining its tough gear positioning, the 2012 Nissan Xterra also offers a range of advanced technologies, including Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, XM Satellite Radio (XM subscription required, sold separately) and an 8-speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system with subwoofer. The changes for the 2012 model year include two new exterior colors: Metallic Blue and Brilliant Silver. Signature Xterra Exterior, Flexible Adventure-Ready Interior Staying true to the original breakthrough Xterra design concept of offering drivers 'everything you need and nothing you don't,' Xterra combines its signature bold exterior styling with a spacious, flexible, adventure-ready interior. The exterior design includes large flared fenders, a powerful-lòòking 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. Roof-mounted off-road lights, built into the roof rack air dam, are standard on PRO-4X models, along with gearbox and 16-inch bright machine-finished aluminum alloy wheels. The 2012 Xterra is offered in seven exterior colors – the new for 2012 Metallic Blue and Brilliant Silver and carryover colors Night Armor, Super Black, Avalanche, Lava Red and Metallic Green. Xterra's long wheelbase help provide a smooth ride and ample interior room, yet overall length is highly manageable due to the short front overhang – helping to enhance maneuverability in off-road hill climbing and trail situations. terra's flexible interior is spacious enough for up to five adults and their gear, with ample legroom, headroom and cargo room. A standard 60/40-split folding stadium-style rear seat with removable seat bottom cushions and an available fold-down front passenger seat (PRO-4X model) create added utility for hauling long recreational gear. Standard interior features include sporty reclining front bucket seats, footrest, dual front and rear 20-ounce cupholders, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, Remote Keyless Entry and cruise control with Steering wheel-mounted controls. All Xterra PRO-4X models feature unique seat cloth, with leather-appointed seating available as part of the PRO-4X Leather Package (automatic transmission only).
