2007 Nissan Xterra Una auténtica alternativa a la SUV suburbana | starMedia

Conclusiones

No hay nada como la Nissan Xterra. Está en su elemento cuando se le utiliza como camioneta, como merodeador de terracerias o como vehículo de aventura. Puede llevar carga sucia o mojada y se limpia como una campeona. Esta última generación Xterra es una mejora considerable respecto a los modelos pre 2005, con más potencia, más espacio y características prácticas pensadas más cuidadosamente. Es construida sobre un chasis fuerte, aunque es más refinada en cualquier medida, lo que la hace un vehículo mucho más práctico en el día a día.
