Nissan Xterra
The 2013 Nissan Xterra will be available in early 2013. Details on enhancements for the new model year will be announced at a later date.
The adventure-ready 2012 Nissan Xterra continues to combine power, utility, value and authenticity - inspiring and facilitating outdoor enthusiasts to "attack life" wherever they go. Xterra's distinct "multi-flex" interior provides an abundance of useable space, storage and convenience features - including an available Easy Clean cargo area, Utili-Track® cargo carrying system, tie-down channel system, 10 cargo hooks and an available built-in first-aid kit.
The 2012 Nissan Xterra features a standard 4.0-liter DOHC V6 engine rated at 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque and is built on the rugged "F-Alpha" truck platform (shared with the full-size Nissan Titan pickup and Armada SUV). It is available with a choice of 6-speed manual (S 4x4 and PRO-4X 4x4 only) or 5-speed automatic transmissions and a choice of part-time 4-wheel drive or 2-wheel drive.
Also offered is a range of available advanced technologies, including Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, SiriusXM Satellite Radio (SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately) and an 8-speaker Rockford Fosgate audio system with subwoofer.
The 2012 Xterra is available in three well-equipped models - X, S, and PRO-4X.

2013 Nissan Xterra Changes
It is a fact that times are changing, Pathfinder like some vehicles has changed! Nissan has good news for all pathfinder lovers. With the 2013 Nissan Xterra, Nissan is not changing that much. The vehicle will come out with minimal changes. Buyers will still enjoy the vehicle’s off-road chops and truck-ish charm. So, if you are planning for some off-road adventures or you are in need of a functional vehicle for your day to day activities, you will still have to patronise the Nissan.
The four-door SUV is expected to follow the footsteps of the last model; we expect it to be available in three different trim levels: X, S and Pro-4X. The X and S trims will be available in either RWD or 4WD, and the Pro-4X will be available in 4WD. There is little information available about the upcoming 2013 Xterra at the moment. We do not know the features that are changing, and those that will not change now, but if the three trims eventually come again, many amenities that will make driving a total pleasure will also come. The following are some of the features we expect:
  • leather upholstery
  • Adjustable driver seat
  • Power windows, door locks, and mirrors
  • Keyless entry
  • Cruise control
  • Six-speaker CD stereo
  • hill-descent control
  • Off-road tires
  • skid plates
  • hill-start assist
  • electronic locking rear differential
  • step rails
  • Cargo organization system
  • Cross and fog lamps
Even though the essentials listed above will likely come with the car, the not so luxurious features like heated seats, rear view camera and navigation system will be missing on the feature list. Nevertheless, we expect the 2013 Xterra to have safety features like: front and curtain airbags, ABS, traction control and gas shock absorber.
The five passengers 2013 Xterra will have some pretty, but basic cabin decor. The automaker will drop the basic interior design. Although it will not be luxurious, there will be some modern features and a design to keep up with the trends. The roofline will be higher, so as to make it roomier and give it extra storage space.
The Nissan Xterra 2013 will sit on 16 inch aluminium wheels, and we expect a V6 engine that can offer 261 horsepower and torque of 281 lb. ft to accompany it. The limited trims will likely come with a 5-speed manual transmission. We expect the mileage of Nissan Xterra 2013 to be 16 mpg and 20 mpg in city and on the highway respectively. It will definitely offer better on-road performance than the current model.
We heard from a reliable source that the 2013 Nissan Xterra SUV will not be expensive. The price will range from $24,000 to $32,000 depending on the trim. So, who will not like to buy one when it is released?

Everything there sounds awesome. Including the 6-speed manual on the Pro-4X. But for the love of all that is holy, can we have a factory nav! Please!?
