The 2011 Xterra is a carryover from 2010. This off-road-themed midsize SUV is smaller and less costly than Nissan’s Pathfinder. Xterra seats 5 versus Pathfinder’s 7. X, S, Off-Road, and SE trim levels are offered. All have a 261-horsepower 4.0-liter V6 engine. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard on X and Off-Road. A 5-speed automatic is optional on those models and standard on S and SE. Maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds. X, S, and SE offer rear-wheel drive or part-time 4-wheel drive that should not be left engaged on dry pavement.
The 4WD system includes a low-range gear for off-roading. Off-Road models are 4WD only. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, and front-side airbags. Off-Road models have all-terrain tires, skid plates, locking rear differential, and, with automatic transmission, hill ascent and descent control. A navigation system is standard on the Off-Road and SE. A wireless cell-phone link and leather upholstery are SE-exclusive standard features.
