Why buy it: Nissan’s second generation Xterra SUV hit the market in 2005 and continued the first-generation model’s theme of ruggedness and simplicity with a focus on an active outdoor lifestyle.
The Xterra has seen few major changes in the decade it has been in production and all cars are powered by a 4.0-liter version of Nissan’s award-winning VQ-series V6 engine that produces 265 horsepower.
