Well, one way of looking at it is that the standard + additional options available for the Jeep surpass those of the Xterra by a huge margin. Even with the V6, mpg is improved over the X. But, is it worth the difference in price for all the extra goodies and better mpg?akley88 wrote:my wife is thinking about getting one of these. only problem we noticed was the price of a fully loaded v6 surpasses a fully loaded xterra
Good point. From what I've heard, they've already pushed the release date back a bit so they could fine-tune the transmission. It sounds like they are really working on getting a trouble-free car to market, but you are right about that first model year thing. I'd bet there will be a number of hiccups.smj999smj wrote:Couple of other things to consider: Xterra is bigger, has a full-frame and this generation has been around since 2005, so pretty much has had all the initial "bugs" worked out of it. The Cherokee is smaller, unibody and a first year model, meaning we expect some "new model bugs," but we just don't know how many or how bad they'll be!
there was a qoute from someone from nissan who said that now they can work on updating their lower volume vehicles, like the titan and xterra. id imagine a redesign is coming out soon cause there will be a new titan for 2015. so the frontier and xterra will end up having similar designs to that most likely.NVSteve wrote:Good point.

There are still rumors flying around concerning the Xterra. Still no definite word if it will be continued beyond 2014 or if they will do a major redesign.
