2007 Nissan Xterra Road Test Ratings

Solid engine power and off-road capability although interior materials and comfort are lacking.

Handling is a bit sportier than Pathfinder and the off-road package works well. Engine power is up to the task.

Seats feel thin and the driving position is awkward. Ride comfort is OK but the tires tend to roar.

Basic, simple and easy to use.

A clean design, inside and out, but the interior material choices and execution are below expectations.
