When it was originally introduced in 1999, the
Nissan Xterra stood out in a crowd of nearly 40
competitive sport utility vehicles with its rugged
truck frame, purposeful styling and “everything
you need, nothing you don’t” adventure
positioning.  Since then, the competitive field of
SUVs has grown to over 70 models.  Yet one thing
remains unchanged – the Xterra still stands alone
as a segment of one.
The enhancements for the all-new second
generation Xterra, introduced in 2005, included
more power, more roominess and more utility.  
The 2006 Xterra continues to offer excellent off-
road performance, 265-horsepower* 4.0-liter V6
and a rugged, fully boxed all-steel frame.  A new
entry-level X model is available in 2006 and the
Power Package becomes standard on S models.  
In addition, all Xterra models add a standard glove
box lock, lamp and damper, available satellite
radio, standard Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and
a new exterior color (Midnight Blue), and new
interior color for off-road models
