What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Nissan Xterra

Nissan Xterra Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Most people who drove or owned xterra, complain about fuel economy. I say bs: compare it with its true, truck-based SUV competitors - and there are only 3 of them: toyota 4runner and fj cruiser, and jeep wrangler rubicon. Thats all! All others are not to be compared to xterra - they are just car-based SUVs (even new nissan pathfinder is just a car!).rnWhen you compare xterra with correct competitors, you will find that its fuel economy is excellent: my trip computer and calculations show the best economy of 10.3 l/100km on highway at 95 km/h without aircon, on cruise control, on a warm day. My worst is 19.3 l/100km during heavy winter offroading through 3 feet of snow (and it was quite wet snow), using 4x4 low with lockers. From my comparis see full Nissan Xterra review

2012	4dr SUV 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range	I don't see how the fuel economy could be improved, given what the vehicle is. But I can't say that I am happy with the poor fuel economy. see full Nissan Xterra review
2008	4dr SUV 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range	Fuel economy is not the best, I average around 15-16 in the city and 18-20 on the highway. see full Nissan Xterra review
2006	4dr SUV 265-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range	Although the 2005+ gets better fuel economy than the previous incarnation, it won't compete with the light weight car-based CUVs on the market. If you want the strong chassis and off road performance you will feel it at the pump. Off road modifications like extra armor, dual spare tires, larger tires, and gear don't help either. see full Nissan Xterra review
2003	4dr SUV 180-horsepower 3.3L V6 4-speed automatic RWD	Mileage is terrible for an engine of this size and power output. see full Nissan Xterra review

2007	4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT AWD	Very hard to beat in a 7-passenger vehicle of this size. With AWD, I average about 22mpg in mixed driving and have gotten 25mpg on an extended trip at hwy (70-75mph) speeds. see full Ford Freestyle review

2006	4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT AWD	Good for its size. Average about 11L/100km or 21 MPG. see full Ford Freestyle review
2006	4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT FWD	better than an SUV comparable to a minivan see full Ford Freestyle review
2006	4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT FWD	Superior to anything in its class for freeway MPG. Only turns over 1900 RPM @ 70 mph, 27+ MPG depending on conditions. Mixed fuel economy is not bad either, my wife drives 50/50 city/highway and we average just over 21 mpg. Very satisfied with MPG. see full Ford Freestyle review
2006	4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT FWD	I can drive my freestyle fully loaded from Florida to North Carolina and get 26 MPG. see full Ford Freestyle review
2005	4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT AWD	For a car its size, 24+ mpg is pretty amazing. This can be contributed to the CVT transmission. see full Ford Freestyle review
