-

MUSCAT: The Nissan X-Terra is designed with the intent of being a tough, essential SUV that inspires and facilitate­s outdoor enthusiast­s’ active lifestyles.

All X-Terra models feature an advanced 4.0-litre straight-six engine, rated at a muscular 291 horsepower, along with Nissan’s rugged “F-Alpha” ladder frame platform for adventure-ready performanc­e. X-Terra’s signature exterior styling features include large flared fenders, a versatile roof rack with latchable lid and a rear bumper design with side steps for easy access to the roof rack.

It also offers a large, powerful looking hood and headlights and Nissan SUV-style angled strut grille. The vehicle also features Chrome ORVM and Fr. fog lamps.

X-Terra’s long wheelbase gives a smooth ride and ample interior room, yet overall length is highly manageable due to the short front overhang — helping to enhance manoeuvrab­ility in off-road hill climbing and trail situations.

The new X-Terra is also known for its other key elements that include six-inch off road wheel, Bilstein shock absorber, off road tyre 265/75R16 OWL BFGoodrich, six CD player along with six speakers, the steering wheel comes with audio and cruise controls, bluetooth hands free and AUX-in and lastly a rear diff lock.

Versatile cargo area

X-Terra’s versatile cargo area is highlighte­d by an available easy clean cargo surface and a total of 10 cargo area utility hooks — six on the floor/sides and four on the ceiling. There’s also an available builtin first-aid kit and space to securely carry jugs up to a one-gallon size.

Two advanced transmissi­ons are offered with the X-Terra. An available electronic­ally controlled five-speed automatic transmissi­on with an emphasis on accelerati­on, fuel economy and shift quality, or a six-speed manual transmissi­on tuned for driving performanc­e and fuel economy.

Other driveline components include engine speed-sensitive power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel vented disc brakes with anti-lock braking system with electronic brake force distributi­on. Wheel and tyre packages include 16-inch steel wheels. X-Terra off-road models feature new six-spoke 16-inch machinefin­ished aluminium-alloy wheels with BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A tyres. The Nissan X-Terra offers drivers today a long list of advanced technologi­cal features including a booming sound system and bluetooth hands-free phone system. Today the Nissan X-Terra has the technology to keep drivers rocking and talking no matter where the trail takes them.

X-Terra’s list of safety features and equipment includes Nissan Advanced Air Bag System with dual-stage supplement­al front air bags with seat belt and occupant classifica­tion sensors, driver and front passenger side-impact supplement­al air bags and three-point front/rear seat belts.
