Overview & Reviews

For 2006, a new entry-level X model debuts, and the Power package is now standard on the S trim. All models get a lighted locking glovebox.

• One of the most powerful V6s in the class, above average off-road capability, solid passenger room, innovative cargo features.

• Still not what we would call refined on the street, lots of hard plastic in the cabin.

  After much review... - 2006 Nissan Xterra
  By JVP - January 19 - 10:06 pm

  ... I finally decided on the Xterra after looking at just about everything that had 4 doors and a hatch. I have 2 kids, one in a car seat, but hated the thought of giving up my truck for an SUV. The Xterra has great road presence (sits high, feels strong) and has well thought out interior features. I always choose power over mileage when faced with one or the other, and while the mileage isnt that bad (22 highway according to the sticker), the power is wonderful. I am also very pleased with the ride and the suspension. Its built very, very well (Titans frame, etc.) It also has a youthful appearance, which never hurts a guy my age.

  Great SUV - 2006 Nissan Xterra
  By Michael - January 11 - 10:30 am

  After looking around, we decided that the Nissan Xterra was the best deal for the money -- cost less than Toyota, better then Jeep. It has been great so far -- reliable, helpful, definitely big enough for family stuff and my kayaking. Only downside -- lower gas milage than the Honda Civic it replaced -- the the ability to get places, drive in snow, and store stuff outweigh that.

  I really enjoy it - 2006 Nissan Xterra
  By IamAng - January 5 - 7:16 am

  The gas mileage isnt great only about 22mpg. The ride is really nice, I love sitting so high up. The exterior design is really different. The interior is mostly plastic that scratches easily.
