2007 Nissan Xterra

Base MSRP $20,050

The 2007 Nissan Xterra offers more off-road capabilities than anything else in its price class, except for the Jeep Wrangler. Of course, the Xterra is based on the Nissan Frontier pickup, and has a real roof and power glass windows. Its funky styling and standard rooftop cargo basket clue buyers into the fact that it's meant for those with an active lifestyle. The Xterra also scores well on safety. Side and curtain air bags are available, and every Xterra has electronic stability control as standard equipment.
