Drive a Xterra
A Nissan Xterra SUV rental gives you five seats, a 4.0-liter V6, and a cargo hold made for gear-heavy getaways.
The 2015 Xterra is the final US model year of a midsize SUV with real presence. Its 4.0-liter V6 and upright, boxy shape give you a confident, commanding feel from the driver's seat. To compare it with the rest of the lineup, browse every Nissan rental on Turo.
On Turo, you book your Xterra from a local vehicle owner. Then you arrange pickup or delivery that fits your plans.

Muscular V6 power
Every 2015 Xterra runs on the same 4.0-liter V6, rated at 261 hp and 281 lb-ft of torque across all trims. It takes regular unleaded, so filling up stays simple. You get strong pulling power and confident acceleration off the line, whether you're merging onto the interstate or climbing a mountain pass.
Room for the whole gear list
The Xterra gives you up to 65.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. Keep all five seats in use and you still get 36.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats for luggage, coolers, and weekend bags.
That boxy shape pays off at packing time. Tents, sleeping bags, and camp chairs stack neatly for a camping weekend, and bikes slide in once you fold the rear seats. On a long road trip, five travelers fit inside with room left for duffels, snacks, and the extra jacket you'll be glad you brought.
Towing with confidence
The Xterra can tow up to 5,000 lbs, enough for a small boat or a camper trailer. That V6 torque keeps the pull steady on long highway stretches, so your lake weekend or campground stay can come along for the ride.
Before you book, check the listing to confirm whether the vehicle has a hitch. Equipment varies from one Xterra to the next, so don't assume a hitch comes standard. If the listing doesn't say, message the local vehicle owner before your trip and keep your trailer's loaded weight within the 5,000-lb limit.
Stand out with a Xterra
The Xterra is a cult favorite: a final-generation, body-on-frame midsize SUV that's now a classic. It's a natural fit for national-park road trips, ski weekends, and moving day, when space and pulling power matter most. If you're weighing your options, compare SUV rentals near you on Turo.
Top Xterra features
A classic worth seeking out
Three things set the Xterra apart: its classic status, your choice of drivetrain, and a lineup of three distinct trims.
The 2015 model year was the Xterra's last in the US, which makes every one still on the road a slice of SUV history. It rolled off an assembly line in the United States, and its upright, squared-off design still draws second looks at the gas station.
That design has earned a loyal following, and it's easy to see why. The Xterra looks exactly like what it is: an honest, function-first midsize SUV made for hauling people and gear. Renting one lets you drive a modern classic without owning one, and it gives your next road trip real personality.
Your choice of drivetrain
Xterra rentals on Turo come with rear-wheel drive or 4WD, so you can match the drivetrain to your trip. The V6 pairs with a five-speed automatic, and a six-speed manual is available on 4WD S and PRO-4X trims. If you like to shift for yourself, that manual makes the drive feel more hands-on.
Each Xterra is set up a little differently, so check the listing for the specific drivetrain and transmission before you book. Rear-wheel drive suits easy highway cruising on a summer road trip. A 4WD model makes a strong pick for a winter ski weekend in the mountains.
Three distinct trims
The Xterra came in three trims: X, S, and PRO-4X. All three share the same 261-hp V6, so the differences come down to equipment and comfort. Trims and options vary by vehicle, so check the listing to find the Xterra setup that fits your trip.
The PRO-4X adds standard hill start assist and hill descent control. They help you pull away from steep driveways and manage your speed on mountain roads. It also offered optional leather for a more polished cabin.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Xterra
Get to know your Xterra
A little prep goes a long way with a classic SUV. Here's what to know about size, fuel, and cost before you book.
The Xterra is a body-on-frame midsize SUV with five seats and a 21.1-gallon fuel tank. Its tall, upright cabin makes packing people and gear easy. If you need a third row or a more modern cabin, consider the roomy Nissan Pathfinder.
Xterra driving tips
Mind the Xterra's height and fuel needs, and you'll be set for the trip.
Check height limits at low parking garages, since the Xterra stands 74.9 inches tall.
Plan fuel stops on long drives, since the EPA rates the RWD automatic at 16 city and 22 highway mpg.
Return the Xterra with the same fuel level it had at pickup, per Turo's fuel policy.
Confirm you're comfortable driving a stick before you book a manual listing.
How much does it cost to rent a Xterra?
The price depends on location, trip dates, and the specific vehicle, so check the listings above for current rates. Many listings offer discounts for weekly and monthly trips, which helps when you need the Xterra for a longer stretch. For a month or more, explore long-term car rental on Turo.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
