What changes have occured since introduction?

Quite a few over the years, with the biggest changes occuring in the 2002 model year, including the addition of a supercharger option and a new front-end design for all models. This includes a new hood, grille, front bumper and fascia as well as headlights and foglights.

Other changes include a new dashboard(*) design (with small changes to the door panels), the addition of traction control and air pressure systems, a new wind deflector and modified ceiling hooks.

* One thing that has changed often is the dashboard. The 2000, 2001 and 2002-2003 (combined) model years each have a unique dash.

The next revision to the Xterra is expected to be in 2004 or 2006.
