Auburn, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/09/2011 -- Rairdon Nissan, an Auburn Nissan dealership, has the 2011 Nissan Xterra in stock and ready to test-drive today. The Xterra is a rugged and capable SUV that delivers plenty of power, comfort, and safety. Auburn Nissan drivers will find there’s something in the Xterra to please everyone.

A powerful 4.0 liter DOHC 24-valve V6 gives drivers the power to climb faster and faster, while Continuously Variously Valve Timing delivers heightened efficiency and on-demand power. For Auburn Nissan customers who need that extra tough build, the Xterra’s fully boxed ladder frame features high-tensile-strength steel creates a solid platform.

Stopped on an incline, hill start assist helps prevent rolling backward. Clutch Start/Cancel allows PRO-4X models with manual transmission to start the vehicle from a stop without using the clutch. Hill descent control helps control the speed and brake pressure, freeing the driver to concentrate on navigating difficult off-road situations.

The available electronic locking rear differential delivers equal power to both rear wheels, boosting traction and moving the Xterra forward. Shift-on-the-fly 4-wheel drive activates with a twist of a dial. Highly capable 4WD system features a 2 speed transfer case, so Auburn Nissan drivers can go from 2WD to 4H at speeds up to 62mph. Whatever the obstacle, the PRO-4X Xterra is up for the challenge. Packed with innovative technology and built to conquer the trail, it features extreme 4×4 components, oversize rugged trail tires and off-road performance shocks.

Auburn Nissan Fans Love The 2011 Nissan Xterra

The Xterra has numerous safety features. Every Xterra has 6 standard airbags, including side-curtain and roof-mounted airbags. It also uses Vehicle Dynamic Control to help the vehicle stay on track in tricky driving situations. 4-wheel anti-lock brakes are also standard on all trims.

The 2011 Xterra uses Nissan’s Brake Overide system for the most dire of driving situations. When both the brake and accelerator pedals are being pressed at the same time, the brakes take precedence. They override accelerator input. Engine power is actually reduced by the system and the brakes are better able to do their job. The system does not engage at low speed or when trying to gain traction on slippery slopes, a nice intuitive touch that ensures the system will never cause more harm than good.
