I went on holiday in the States in 2014 and drove an Xterra from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. 

It was a maroon Xterra, not sure of the specs. But it was a nice drive...solid, stable on the highway and absorb all the humps and bumps near the Grand Canyon without any fuss. I do share your appreciation of the Xterra.

 Both share the same engine, same gear, probably the differentials too and of course the same suspension. Pathfinder is a more comfortable car than Xterra but I believe the weight is slightly more than the X.

Thanks carnitys for sahring your experiences, passion & love about off-road and Xterra. I‘ve seen that car many times in office parking and on road never noticed untill @Gauravmentioned. I immediately check out 20K xterras in facebook and found very good and off-road ready vehicles. I fell in love with Xterra since last week. I’m sure that’s going to be my off-road vehicle. But I’m still not yet decided about my family car. I don’t drive much to office. It’s only for weekends outing & road trips. Looking for 7 seater. I have 6 yrs old &  1.5yr old kids. Appreciate your suggestions. If I buy emotionally I would go for Range Rover discovery sport. If economical purchase then I would go for Prado. But still if you guys suggest some nice 7 seater with 4X4 or AWD SUV/crossover/wagons etc. I really appreciate your time and suggestions.  My budget is 80K for on road and off road vehicles.

It was almost same story here. When I went to Arabian Auto to purchase my sedan in 2010 I had seen the Xterra in the showroom. I didn't like the shape of the car and didn't even bother to look inside to see what the car is all about. For me it looked like the ugliest SUV I have ever seen and made up my mind I will never even buy such a bad looking car. Fast forward to 2020, when I 1st drove the Xterra as it was forced on to me, the moment I took it out of the basement it was resting for 2 years and went for a spin in Deira I wanted to kick myself for not buying one of these as new in 2010. I fell in love with the car that moment. What a loss the company discontinued this model in 2015 and there is no way I could experience a new Xterra.

anyone here who can provide feedback on the new Xterra btw? I dont like the shape though but it still looks high enough and robust offroader.
