A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration.

02 / What changed

New for 2008

The 2008 Xterra against the 2007, the previous model year we hold. Only what Nissan’s documents show: nothing here is inferred.

  • No retail configuration added or dropped: the 12 sold in the 2007 are all here.
  • Same range as the 2007: length.

The 2008 documents

2 documents behind the 2008 Xterra’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.
