Nissan Xterra2005-08 modelsSIDE IMPACT TEST WITHOUT OPTIONAL SIDE AIRBAGSOVERALL EVALUATION: Marginal Injury measures Head protection Structure/safety cageHead/neck Torso Pelvis/legDriver Good Poor Good Marginal GoodRear passenger Good Good Good MarginalImportant: Side impact crash test ratings can be compared across vehicle type and weight categories.Test details:The Nissan Xterra was redesigned for the 2005 model year.Two tests of a 2007 Xterra were conducted, one with optional side airbags for the driver and rear passenger, and one without. These vehicles are rated separately, except that the structural ratings for both vehicles are based on both tests.Injury measures:Driver � Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries would be likely in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.Rear passenger � Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.Head protection:Driver � Although the intruding barrier did not hit the dummy's head in this test, the head was not protected from contacts outside the vehicle. This indicates that only slightly different crash circumstances could produce a direct hit to a person's head.Rear passenger � The dummy's head was hit by the window glass of the rear passenger door. This impact did not produce high head injury measures, but the head protection is inadequate.Nissan Xterra2005-08 modelsSIDE IMPACT TEST WITH OPTIONAL SIDE AIRBAGSOVERALL EVALUATION: Good Injury measures Head protection Structure/safety cageHead/neck Torso Pelvis/legDriver Good Acceptable Good Good GoodRear passenger Good Good Good GoodImportant: Side impact crash test ratings can be compared across vehicle type and weight categories.Test details:The Nissan Xterra was redesigned for the 2005 model year.Two tests of a 2007 Xterra were conducted, one with optional side airbags for the driver and rear passenger, and one without.
