Every day, the real-world presents us with questions about the practicality of our vehicle: how's the gas mileage? Is it dependable? Will it do for my daily commute to work? Yet, the adventurer seeks additional answers: can this vehicle get me up the mountain in time for my weekend ski trip? Will this vehicle perform well while keeping me safe in the most hazardous driving conditions?Can this vehicle keep up with my active lifestyle? The 2011 Nissan Xterra is proving to be a dynamic answer to all of these questions.
The key to the Xterra's versatility is its spot-on mixture of practical features, performance and drivability. The roof rack and extra-rear-storage space remain the fixtures by which enthusiasts have identified the Xterra for years. Drivers can tie down their mattress for the big move, or they can secure their canoe or skis for a weekend excursion. Though we hope it won't be needed, the rear hatch can serve as storage for say, an emergency kit (or snacks, depending on preference). If it's a trip to the grocery store with family, the spacious cabin and 36.3 cubic feet of storage space is more than sufficient.
Engine-wise, the Xterra's 4.0-liter V6 delivers 261hp (281 ft-lb's torque), enough oomph to lift off onto the highway towards the ascent to the mountain and navigate in iffy conditions. On the way up, comfortable, responsive handling will ensure every passenger is well-rested.
It helps that the cruise won't be interrupted by an inconvenient stop for fuel: the Xterra get's an impressive 20mpg highway (15mpg city). Considering everything you can do in the Xterra, these numbers go a long way. This also bodes well for those of us getting it done on the daily grind: commuting to work in the Nissan Xterra is both comfortable and cash-efficient.
