The 2000 Nissan Xterra was the debut model-year entry for the SUV, produced by automaker Nissan. Since its inception, the Xterra has been targeted at a young consumers who need an SUV that is relatively compact in size yet has great off-road capability. For the 2000 model year, there were two trims: the XE and the SE, both of which had two-wheel and four-wheel drivetrain options.

Engine, Transmission and Fuel Economy

    The lowest-end subtrim of the 2000 Nissan Xterra was dubbed the XE 4-cyl 2WD, the "4-cyl" designation derived from its four-cylinder engine, which had a 2.4-liter capacity and 143 horses. The other trim combinations had a 3.4-liter 170-horsepower V6 engine. A five-speed manual overdrive was the standard transmission on the 2000 Xterra, although some trims, with the exception of the XE 4-cyl 2WD, had a four-speed automatic overdrive instead. Fuel economy is 15 to 19 miles per gallon for city driving and 18 to 24 mpg for highway driving depending on trim, type of transmission and/or drivetrain.

Safety Features

    The standard safety features of the 2000 Nissan Xterra included child safety door locks, anti-lock brakes and driver and passenger airbags. The SE was the only trim that had power door locks.

Interior Features

    With seating enough for five people, the 2000 Nissan Xterra had air conditioning and AM/FM/CD player included with its interior features. The SE was the most loaded of the trims in this aspect, as it also had power windows, cassette deck and sunroof. The upholstery was either in Dusk or Sage cloth.

Exterior Features

    A four-door vehicle, the 2000 Nissan Xterra had 15-inch wheels. Those on the SE were alloy, while those of the other trims were made of steel. The SE also had a roof rack. Apart from the customary components such as rear window defogger, lights and windshield wipers, the 2000 Xterra is rather skimpy on standard exterior features.

Price Range

    The original manufacturer's suggested retail price for the 2000 Nissan Xterra ranged from $17,599 for the XE 4-cyl 2WD to $24,799 for the SE 4WD. As of 2010, according to automotive valuation publication Kelley Blue Book, a 2000 Xterra has a price value range of $6,000 to $7,000.
