Year to Year Changes
2001 Nissan Xterra:
Only minor revisions were evident on Nissan's junior midsize SUV for 2001, especially at the instrument cluster. The SE got standard 16-inch wheels and tires, replacing 15-inch rubber, and its new sound system included an in-dash 5-disc CD changer as well as steering-wheel audio controls.
2002 Nissan Xterra:
New for 2002 was an available supercharged V6 engine and a 4WD XE V6 off-road Enthusiast Package that eliminated the side step rails and added a limited-slip differential, manual locking hubs, and front tow hooks. All '02 Xterras had a "power-bulge" hood and a revised dashboard.
2003 Nissan Xterra:
Curtain side airbags were newly available for any Xterra. An antiskid system was optional for automatic-transmission 4WD V6 models and included traction control and a tire-pressure monitor. Also for '03, V6s added standard driver-seat height and lumbar adjustments, and SE models offered a new "Rugged Leather" package option with suedelike interior accents.
2004 Nissan Xterra:
For 2004, certain Xterra models get larger wheels.
