After two years since the launch of the Xterra's first generation, Nissan unveiled the facelifted version for it at the Chicago Auto Show.
Nissan counted on its off-road experience when it made the Xterra. It was built on the same chassis as the Frontier pickup and was related to the European Pathfinder. It aimed at the X-generation, hence the X in its name, and tried to convince its customers that it could deal with more rugged terrain than its competitors. But being related to a utility vehicle came with a similar steering system cost and being heavier than other compact-segment SUVs.
The revised Xterra received a new front fascia with a V-shaped grille similar to other Nissan vehicles. Yet, its round headlights in squared clusters looked odd for a car launched in 2001. The flared wheel-arches for both axles made room for big, 265/65R 17 tires for the SE version and 265/70R 16 for the rest of the range. A new, 48 mm (1.9") bulge on the hood made room for a supercharger for the most potent version.
Inside, the carmaker introduced a new instrument panel with three round dials with the speedometer in the middle and the tachometer on the left. At the same time, the right cluster featured the fuel level and coolant temperature gauges. In addition, the redesigned center stack sported a side map pocket, while the glove compartment grew by 25%.
But the most significant changes were under the hood, where the carmaker offered a choice of three engines ranged between 143 hp and 210 hp. The latter was a supercharged V-6 powerplant, and it was available with a five-speed manual gearbox. In addition, depending on the options, Nissan installed either an open or a limited-slip differential for the rear axle.
