The Nissan Xterra is a body-on-frame mid-size SUV built for buyers who want genuine off-road capability without the premium price tag of a Prado or Patrol. It seats up to 7 and takes a purposefully rugged approach at a time when most rivals have gone soft-roader. Prices in the UAE start from AED 104,000.
The 2.5 L four-cylinder petrol engine produces 165 BHP and pairs with a Automatic gearbox. The entry 2WD SE trim covers the essentials with two-wheel drive and a straightforward kit level — a solid choice for buyers who won't leave the tarmac. Stepping up to the 4WD Platinum adds four-wheel drive with a proper low-range transfer case, upgraded interior finishes, and a more complete technology package — the meaningful choice for anyone heading off-road seriously. Fuel economy sits at 11 Km/L on a mixed cycle, which is acceptable for a body-on-frame SUV of this size and weight.
Pros: the Xterra's body-on-frame construction and low-range 4WD on the upper trims give it off-road credentials that crossover-based rivals simply cannot match at this price point. The three-row cabin offers genuine 7-seat practicality, and Nissan's dealer network in the UAE means parts and servicing are straightforward. Cons: the 2.5 L engine feels stretched when the vehicle is fully loaded or towing — buyers expecting brisk performance will find it underwhelming compared to turbocharged rivals. The interior materials on the base 2WD SE are noticeably utilitarian, and the overall cabin design lags behind more modern competitors.
Used Xterra examples are available on CarSwitch — 2023 models currently list from around AED 83,000, roughly 20% below the new entry price, offering reasonable value for buyers open to a nearly-new option.
Comparables data for this model is not currently available. Buyers typically cross-shop the Xterra against body-on-frame mid-size SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, which sit in a similar price bracket and offer comparable off-road ability — the Xterra's advantage is Nissan's local network and parts availability, while rivals may offer stronger resale values or more engine choice.
