Both generations of the Xterra featured a two - box design with a raised rear roofline to enable stadium seating -- as well as a bump on the rearmost door expressing an interior first aid kit and `` C '' pillar - mounted rear door handles.

The Xterra was not Nissan 's first compact SUV : Nissan Japan had the Nissan Mistral, and the Nissan Rasheen, while Nissan Europe produced and sold the Terrano, a 2 - door SUV sold from 1993 to 2006. Nissan licensed the name `` Xterra '' from Hawaiian - based TEAM Unlimited LLC for an undisclosed amount of money. TEAM Unlimited owns the rights to the Xterra Triathlon as well as the former Lifeguard Challenges. This enabled TEAM Unlimited to grow the Xterra brand. In August 2015, Nissan announced that the Xterra would cease production and the last Xterra would be sold in the fall of 2015. Nissan has no plans for a replacement or successor.

The Xterra featured a 143 hp ( 107 kW ) KA24DE I4, 5 - speed manual transmission, and steel wheels. It lacked step rails and roof rack. The XE models were configured with several option packages combining the 170 horsepower 3.3 L VG33E V6 engine with either a 5 - speed manual or 4 - speed automatic transmission, as well as such features as roof rack, side step - rails, sun roof, and carpeted floor mats. The SE featured standard equipment that was optional on an XE. Canadian models from 1999 to 2004 were limited only to the VG33E V6, and only available with part - time 4WD. 2002 -- 2004 2002 -- 2004 Nissan Xterra Xterra was freshened for 2002 ( July 2001 production ) with a redesigned dash and center console, improved powertrain, and new front end styling. The 3.3 L VG33E V6 was upgraded to 180 hp ( 134 kW ) and a 210 hp ( 157 kW ) supercharged VG33ER option was carried over from the 2001 Nissan Frontier, with 246 lb ft ( 334 N m ) of torque for the automatic, and 231 lb ft ( 313 N m ) of torque with 5 - speed manual. For 2003, new options became available, including side - curtain airbags and a tire pressure monitoring system. Audio systems were upgraded, the premium 6 - disc, 4 - speaker AM / FM / CD setup being replaced by a 6 - speaker 300W Rockford Fosgate AM / FM / CD system with an 8 - inch subwoofer that took up a small portion of the rear storage area. Although 2004 was the last year for this generation, some models were made as late as January 2005. Second generation ( n50 ) Second generation ( N50 ) Overview Production April 2004 -- 2015 Model years 2005 - 2015 Body and chassis Platform Nissan F - Alpha platform Related Infiniti QX56 Nissan Armada Nissan Frontier Nissan Pathfinder Nissan Titan Powertrain Engine 4.0 L VQ40DE 265 hp ( 198 kW ) V6 Transmission 5 - speed automatic 6 - speed manual Dimensions Wheelbase 2,700 mm ( 110 in ) Length 4,539 mm ( 178.7 in ) Width 1,849 mm ( 72.8 in ) Height 1,902 mm ( 74.9 in ) 2005 -- 2015 Unveiled at the New York International Auto Show in 2004, the Xterra was redesigned for 2005 on the Nissan F - Alpha platform used by the Frontier, entering showrooms April 2004 for the 2005 model year. Offering a rear differential locker on the off - road model, the new model is larger in all dimensions than its predecessor. Utilizing Nissan 's variable valve timing fitted 4.0 L VQ40DE engine, it produces 261 hp ( 195 kW ). 2009 update 2009 - 2012 Nissan Xterra The Xterra received a facelift for 2009 ( July 2008 production ) with more options and colors, leather seats on SE models, and roof mounted lights on off - road models. The last year of the Nissan Xterra in Mexico was 2008, as the larger - but - cheaper unibody Nissan Rogue replaced in the product lineup. Reasons why the Xterra stopped sales in Mexico was for Nissan to free up room for the 2009 Suzuki Equator at the Smyrna plant, and also because of Nissan building fewer Xterras due to declining sales in the United States and Canada. After that, the Xterra is now mutually exclusive with the unibody X-Trail sold outside the United States and Canada. However, the X-Trail was sold in Canada from 2005 to 2006 alongside the Xterra, but after the 2006 model year, Nissan replaced the X-Trail in Canada with the Rogue. In 2012, production was moved from Smyrna, Tennessee, to Nissan 's facility in Canton, Mississippi. 2014 update Changes include : An updated NissanConnect with a Navigation system with available NissanConnect Apps smartphone integration for iPhone and Android, allowing the user to connect with Pandora, iHeartRadio, Facebook and more. To the new app integration, the NissanConnect with Navigation system 's capabilities now include SiriusXM Traffic, SiriusXM Travel Link ( fuel prices, movie times, stock updates and weather ), SiriusXM Weather ( SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately ), Streaming Audio via Bluetooth, Hands - free Text Messaging Assistant and audio voice recognition. New 16 - inch aluminum - alloy wheel designs for the S and PRO-4X grades standard Bluetooth Hands - free Phone System, steering wheel audio controls and sunglass holder ( overhead console ) on all grade levels ; push - type HVAC controls and upgraded audio system added to X grade ; addition of heated front seats on PRO-4X ( standard cloth, available leather - appointed seats ) ; new Hyper Silver paint added for the grille and underguard. Early US models include X, S and PRO-4X, with a choice of 6 - speed manual or 5 - speed automatic transmissions, a choice of part - time 4 - wheel drive or 2 - wheel drive. Discontinuation The Xterra was discontinued in the U.S. after the 2015 model year. Poor fuel economy, declining sales, and mandated upgrades to safety and emissions were cited as reasons.
