Parts Train's Dynamic Nissan Body Parts Complements 2005 Nissan
by: Jenny Mc Lane, Tue Dec 6th
Building on its predecessor's rugged looks, the 2005 NissanXterra has more roominess and more features, including enhancedoff-road performance systems. Bulkier, silver colored materialsand the more angular structure to the grill and bumper give theXterra a more aggressive stance. "The changes in the new Xterraare evolutionary, though with a capital E," said Mark McNabb,vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, NissanNorth America, Inc. "For 2005, we've made key improvements inthe areas customers want most - power, drivability, smootheron-road dynamics, more interior space and cargo versatility and,of course, greater off-road performance." The most significant changes to the new Xterra are the use of aversion of the new "F-Alpha" platform, which was created for useon the new Nissan Titan full-size pickup and Nissan Armadafull-size SUV, and the utilization of a new 4.0-liter version ofNissan's VQ-series V6 engine. Various improvements to thepowertrain include increased displacement as well as microfinished engine internals, Continuous Valve Timing Control(C-VTC), Nissan variable Induction Control System (NICS) and ahigh capacity muffler. Electronic Throttle Control makes betterresponsiveness. Available transmissions are a 5-speed automatic and, even moreimpressive, a 6-speed manual. A 4WD option is available toreplace the base 2WD configuration. Four wheel disc brakesassisted by anti-lock brakes (ABS), Electronic Brake forceDistribution (EBD), and Brake Assist (BA) keep the Xterra incheck. The 2005 Xterra was designed utilizing a truck-basedbody-on-frame chassis. A double wishbone front suspension andrigid leaf suspension in the rear gives these trucks thedurability and ride that one expects from a truck-based SUV.High performance shocks are available on the Xterra Off-Roadmodel.
Safety features and equipment includes Zone Body constructionwith front and rear crumple zones, Nissan Advanced Air BagSystem (which includes dual-stage front supplemental air bagswith seat belt sensors and a front occupant classificationsensor), and 3-point front seat belts with pre-tensioners andload limiters. "We expect the new Xterra to offer best-in-classhorsepower and torque, with exceptional acceleration anddrivability, such as acceleration coming out of a corner,""We've given it the hardware to get the job done, on highwaysand any paths that lead to adventure." Nissan has showed thatgood things happen when you focus on meeting customers' unmetneeds, rather than following the competition. With this newgeneration design, Xterra still has no equals," said McNabb. The 2005 Nissan Xterra stands out in its adventure positioning.Like many of Nissan's famous cars, all of Parts train'sexcellently crafted Nissan body parts can preserve NissanXterra's high off road performance best.
