Ever since its first release in 2000, the Nissan Xterra has been one of the most popular off-road vehicles on the market. Nissan has sold almost 750,000 vehicles since then. For the 2016 model year, Nissan has opted not to bring back the Xterra. Instead, the SUV will live on as a cult classic among off-roaders.
