265-hp, 4.0-L V6 Engine
Begging for fast lanes and rugged off-roads, this DOHC 24-valve V6 is a powerhouse. 284 lb-ft of torque, a lightweight
aluminum block, an advanced variable-intake manifold, and friction-reducing technology all make Xterra ready for
anything.

6-speed Manual Transmission
If you want torquey starts, plus cruising-speed efficiency, the close-ratio manual is the ticket. It's geared to
exploit every ounce of horsepower and torque. Triple-cone synchros in second gear help make shifting from first
or third into second nice and smooth. |
|

 |
| |
| |
5-speed Automatic Transmission
Xterra's 5-speed automatic transmission is ideally geared for the 265-hp V6, offering a high-performance control
system adopted to achieve excellent acceleration, performance, fuel efficiency, and shift quality. Its advanced,
lightweight design is geared to make the most out of the VQ engine.

Vehicle Dynamic Control
If your Xterra begins to oversteer (fishtail) or understeer (plow forward), this standard system can reduce engine
output and/or apply appropriate brake pressure to specific wheels, to help you stay on your steered path.
VDC cannot prevent accidents due to abrupt
steering, carelessness, or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely. |

Braking Technologies
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) rapidly pumps the brakes during hard braking to help keep your wheels from locking
up — a great help when you need to maintain steering control to get around an obstacle safely. 4WD models also
feature a G-sensor that reads the terrain, so the ABS can adjust to the road, dirt, gravel, or snow conditions.
And Electronic Brake force Distribution senses additional weight in the rear and sends extra force to the rear
brakes. |

F-Alpha Platform, Including Ladder Frame
At Xterra's core is a fully boxed ladder frame made with rock-solid high tensile-strength steel in strategic areas.
It is 90% stronger and 22% lighter than conventional steel, for less flexing and more stiffness. All of which allows
the suspension to do its job of absorbing the bumps better. |

Bilstein® Shocks
Xterra's Off Road model takes things a step further with off-road performance shocks from Bilstein, proven off-road
hardware for serious four-wheeling.

Hill Descent Control
In extreme off-road downhill situations, this available system automatically adjusts throttle and brake pressure
with the flip of a switch to help provide a more controlled descent, so you can focus on steering. |
|
| |
 |
| |
| |
Hill Start Assist
When you find yourself stopped on an incline, the available Hill Start Assist helps keep you from rolling backward
at start-up. It applies the brakes for a few seconds, giving you just enough time to move your foot from the brake
to the accelerator. |
|
| |
 |
| |
| |
Clutch Start/Cancel
Off Road models with manual transmission feature a Clutch Start/Cancel switch that allows you to start the vehicle
from a stop without using the clutch. |
|
| |
 |
| |
| |
Electronic Locking Rear Differential
Xterra's available electronic locking rear differential can help you conquer the toughest terrain, especially when
you're stuck in muddy or rocky conditions. Just flip the switch and equal power goes to both rear wheels to boost
traction and keep you moving forward. |

4-wheel Limited Slip (ABLS)
In most situations, a spinning wheel is a bad thing. Which is why Xterra 4x4s offer 4-wheel Limited Slip (ABLS).
The system senses a drive wheel(s) spinning, then automatically applies the brakes to the slipping wheel(s) and
directs power to the wheels with the best traction. (4x2 models are available with 2-wheel Limited Slip.) |

Switch-activated 4WD System
Xterra's very capable 4WD system features a shift-on-the-fly 4-Wheel Drive, which lets you shift between 2WD and
4WD at the switch of a dial. This system also features a 4-LO with reduced throttle sensitivity for severe off-road
conditions. |
