They included overcoming of water obstacles, driving on mountain terrain and overcoming impassability. The first time these races were held on the Hawaiian island of Maui in 1996, and at first they were called Aquaterra, and only later were called XTERRA. Nissan became the main sponsor of these competitions in the period from 1998 to 2006. In honor of these races, a new car was named.

Originally it was created for the market of the USA and other countries of the North and South America, but gradually sales have spread to Europe. Despite its good external data and a strong active image, in 2002 it was subjected to significant changes.

The studio was modernized in California, and some features of Japanese aesthetics were partially introduced into its design, which is why the appearance of the car only won.
