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.

Estimate ±A dashed underline marks our estimate where the maker prints no figure: worked out from its other numbers, shown with its margin (±), and never used for a headline, comparison or ranking.

02 / What changed

New for 2015

The 2015 Xterra against the 2014, the previous model year we hold. Only what Nissan’s documents show: nothing here is inferred.

No retail configuration added or dropped: the 7 sold in the 2014 are all here.
Payload: 970–1,060 lb (2014: 952–1,058 lb).
Curb weight: 4,140–4,429 lb (2014: 4,140–4,418 lb).
Same range as the 2014: towing, ground clearance and length.
Payload differs on 7 of 7 configurations sold in both years: −6 to +80 lb.
Curb weight differs on 2 of 7 configurations sold in both years: +11 to +12 lb.

The 2015 documents

2 documents behind the 2015 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.

Documents last checked Oct 9, 2026. How we read them and what the marks mean: how we source the numbers. A figure doesn’t match its document? Report a wrong number.
