2014 Nissan Xterra review

1. Versatile storage options 

The ability to carry a lot of cargo is among the top priorities for most people looking for an SUV. The 2014 Nissan Xterra excels in this department, with a large storage area that’s also highly versatile and configurable. It has 36.3 cu-ft of cargo space in the trunk, which is already sizable enough for family vacations or various day-to-day hauling needs. The capacity increases further to 65.7 cu-ft with the rear seats folded. 

2. Spacious cabin 

Not only does the 2014 Nissan Xterra have ample storage space, but it’s also generous in terms of passenger room. It has a spacious cabin that can fit five people comfortably, with wide and supportive seats in both rows. Passengers in the front get 39.9 inches of headroom and 42.4 inches of legroom. The rear seats offer 34.4 inches legroom. 

3. Strong and capable off-roader 

The versatility of the 2014 Nissan Xterra is also reflected in its off-road capability. Aside from being an appropriate daily driver in urban settings, it’s also able to take on all sorts of challenges on different terrains. Coming standard with a strong 4.0L V6 engine that generates 261 hp and 281 lb-ft, the 2014 Nissan Xterra has ample power to move confidently on hilly roads and overcome most obstacles it might run into off the beaten path. The high ground clearance, the firm suspension, and available all-wheel drive help enhance these abilities further. 

4. Great towing capacity 

The utilitarian nature of the 2014 Nissan Xterra is further highlighted by its excellent towing capacity. With a potent engine under the hood, it can tow different types of heavy payloads that you might want to bring along on your road trips and family vacations. When powered by the base 4.0L V6 engine, it has an estimated towing capacity of 5,000 lbs when properly equipped.

5. Enjoyable ride experience 

A pleasant ride experience is something that you can expect from the 2014 Nissan Xterra, on top of the other benefits it brings. It has a welcoming cabin with a few standard features that are meant to make each trip as enjoyable and convenient as possible. It comes standard with air conditioning, rear privacy glass, cruise control, Bluetooth® connectivity, a six-speaker audio system, and 60/40-split folding rear seats.
