Nissan Lafesta B35

2011 – 2020

The Nissan Xterra is a truck-based compact SUV that was manufactured by Nissan from 1999 to 2015 across two generations. The first generation (1999–2004) shared a platform with the Nissan Frontier pickup, while the second generation (2005–2015) shared the Nissan F-Alpha platform with the Frontier and Pathfinder. The vehicle was inspired by the XTERRA off-road triathlon race series and marketed as a functional and reliable outdoor gear with the tagline "Everything You Need, Nothing You Don’t." Developed in La Jolla, California, by Nissan Design International, the Xterra was the first Nissan vehicle completely conceived, developed, and manufactured in the United States. The design aimed to create an affordable, rugged, and quality piece of equipment that looked better dirty than clean, emphasizing its outdoor utility. Both Xterra generations prioritized ruggedness, practicality, and affordability over luxury, featuring traditional body-on-frame construction and underbody skid plates to highlight their truck heritage and off-road capabilities.
