What's New on Nissan X-terra?

Introduction

  • The Nissan XTerra has a narrow and highly competitive niche in the UAE market: a mid-size, seven-seat SUV that promises real off-road capabilities without compromising the comfort of the family. Placed below the Patrol and positioned above compact crossovers, the XTerra attracts customers who love practicality during the week but are adventurous during the weekend.
  • Pros & Cons Things we like in X-terra Comfortable 7-seat layout. Strong safety technology Easy-going and sustainable interior. The class has good off-road capability. Competitive UAE pricing Things we don't like in X-terra Only one engine option Low horsepower compared to turbo competitors. Functional versus luxurious interior materials. No hybrid or diesel option View More

Exterior

  • The XTerra is in the Nissan modern lingo of SUVs, with the daring V-Motion grille and the carved bodywork. It looks sporty but not excessive, a much-needed concession in a market that requires SUVs to be tough and slick enough to survive in an urban environment.
  • The SUV possesses visual authority, such as LED headlamps with auto leveliser, C-shaped LED daytime running lights, and a wide stance. Its harsh purpose is aided by hard shoulder lines and squared wheel arches. Roof rails and side steps are not purely decorative, but these features support the lifestyle positioning of the car.
  • 17-inch alloy wheels (SE and Titanium models)
  • 18-inch machine-cut alloy wheels (Platinum)
  • In general, the XTerra manages to convey the sense of capability and, at the same time, looks visually advanced enough to work in cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
  • Colour options available with the Nissan Xterra are: Red S, Brown PM, Black, Gray FPM, Silver M, Red PM, and White 3P.
  • Space is one of the XTerra's best qualities. Its large ratios permit the utilization of three rows in a proper way, not just the occasional use.
  • The 2,850 mm wheelbase helps to have a decent second-row legroom, and can be used in the third row by children or by adults on short journeys. Fold-flat rear seats provide strong cargo flexibility, making the XTerra well-suited for road trips or airport runs.
  • The presence of ground clearance of about 243 mm is one of the highlights for the UAE buyers, who often have to deal with dunes, gravel, or rough desert paths.
  • Ride & Handling Key Highlights Although the XTerra does not sit in the position of an extreme off-roader, such as the Patrol, the 4WD models of the XTerra provide real light to moderate desert use. The most important off-road features (on 4WD models) are: Shift-on-the-fly 4WD system Electronic rear differential lock. Hill Descent Control Hill Start Assist Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) The approach and departure angles are also competitive in the class, and the ground clearance allows dune driving within a reasonable range. The ladder-inspired construction and the strong suspension tuning offer stability in harsh conditions. The XTerra is good enough for occasional desert driving or camping for UAE consumers who do not need to make any off-road adjustments. The XTerra is comfortable to handle in an urban environment, although its size is a bit huge. The steering is light at low speed, which helps in parking and manoeuvring within cities. The high driving seat improves visibility. The SUV is stable on the highway, but the road and wind noise are evident at higher speeds than those of more upscale competitors. The ride comfort is slightly firm, which is characteristic of its SUV and mild off-road inclination. The braking performance can be predicted, and the suspension can absorb most of the imperfections in the road. Overall driving character: Comfortable but not sporty Capable but not extreme Practical and not performance-oriented.

  • The braking performance can be predicted, and the suspension can absorb most of the imperfections in the road.
  • Engine & Fuel Consumption Key Highlights The XTerra is a UAE-specified vehicle that is powered by a single, naturally aspirated, 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine (QR25DE). Engine Specifications: 2.5L DOHC 4-cylinder petrol 165 HP @ 6,000 rpm 241 Nm torque @ 4,000 rpm Automatic 7-speed transmission. The 4WD and 2WD versions are available. Paper-wise, 165 horsepower might not seem much in a segment where turbocharged competitors deliver more power. Nissan has, however, adjusted the engine to be reliable and predictable in terms of power delivery, rather than outright performance-oriented. Throttle response in urban driving is smooth and gradual. The 7-speed automatic shifts cleanly and keeps the engine in its optimal torque range. It has comfortable highway cruising, but overtaking with a full load takes planning. Lack of a turbocharger or V6 choice could drive away performance-oriented customers, but the ease of the naturally aspirated engine is welcomed in the GCC climate for long-term ownership.

Interior

  • The XTerra is a combination of practicality and modernity within. The dashboard is simple and clean, including easy-to-use controls and ergonomics.
  • More expensive trims are leather-equipped with power-adjustable front seats. The design of the Zero Gravity seats of Nissan is focused on fatigue reduction during long trips, which is important, especially when traveling between emirates.
  • Material quality is decent at the price range. Although it is not as premium as the German SUV, it provides durability and comfort that fit the needs of the family.
  • Rear A/C vents, strong cooling performance, and dual-zone automatic climate control are important bonuses in the UAE summer.
  • Other notable interior features include: 3 driving modes (eco, sand, sport), push start key, ambient lighting, and 8 premium speakers (Bose).
  • Safety Key Highlights The XTerra safety package is one of it's most selling points in the UAE market. Such safety features are included (with Platinum trim): Smart Emergency Braking Forward Collision Warning Blind Spot Warning Hill Decent Control Hill Start Assist Rear Cross Traffic Alert Lane Departure Warning Tyre Pressure Measuring System (TPMS) Intelligent Cruise Control An Area Surrounding View Monitor with Moving Object Detection. Several airbags (front, side, curtain) The Around View Monitor comes in handy, especially in cramped parking areas in the city and off-road navigation. For the family buyers, the availability of the advanced driver assistance systems significantly boosts the value proposition of the Nissan XTerra.

  • Features Key Highlights Technology varies according to different trim levels. Infotainment Highlights: 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and CarPlay (Titanium) 9-inch touchscreen and navigation with Android Auto and CarPlay (Platinum) Wireless charge (select trims) Several USB ports for all rows. The system is interactive and easy to use, but not up to date with some newer competitors. Nevertheless, it offers all the necessary connectivity options that are required by modern buyers. The driver information display provides easy-to-understand trip data and vehicle status information.
