The Nissan Xterra dilevers about 261 Hp and abt 380 Nm of tourque. This is pretty good for the small suv range.

I think it has a 4.0 l V6 ...but ud have to double check!

 

Ive sat in one and thaught that the cabin was rather bare and full of cheap plastic meterials.

 

Personally i think the exterra looks like a small pathfinder (which looked like a small armada)....soo yea the looks are meh ! :(

 

If its power what you are looking for ...go for the Xterra SUV as its the best in its range.

 

If its ride quality and confort, then put down may be one or two grand extra and go for the toyota fj cruiser (even tho its a 2 door suv...it has almost the same amount of space as the Xterra) It also looks better and has a better metallic interior (which is also rather bare but in a essense is very attractive) 

 

 In my opinion...go for a FJ Cruiser...you loose on power but gain more everywhere else.
