The 2015 Nissan Xterra comes with five seats, no matter what options you choose or which trim level you opt for. The 2022 Nissan Xterra has three rows of seating, but is only available in the Asian and Middle Eastern markets—the Nissan Xterra was discontinued in America in 2015.

Its off-roading prowess has made the 2015 Nissan Xterra a popular choice among outdoor enthusiasts for years. For those camping fanatics who have gone on to have families, the Nissan Xterra needs to be able to handle the demands of a growing brood plus meet the requirements of back-country driving.

How many seats does the 2015 Nissan Xterra have?

The Nissan Xterra comes standard with five seats. This is the maximum amount of seating available in this model since it lacks a third row.

Do all Xterras have two rows of seats?

The 2015 Xterra doesn’t have a third row of seats. The number of seats in an Xterra doesn’t change based on trim or customizations.

That’s good news for you cargo-lovers out there though—the lack of a third row means you have more space for your gear. Plus, no third row means your vehicle is overall shorter, making it easier to navigate around town, across boulders, and into tight parking spots.

2015 Nissan Xterra interior

The Nissan Xterra’s interior is best described as rough and ready. Its practical styling and durable materials make it a great choice for folks who are a little rougher on their vehicles and don’t want to muck up luxury features with rain, mud, or other accompaniments to outdoorsy living.

A great selling point of the Nissan Xterra is that both rows of seating are spacious and can comfortably seat four adults with plenty of room for cargo in the back, plus an abundance of storage cubbies in the seating areas. This makes the Xterra a great choice for small families who love to take road trips, go camping, or take a day off the beaten path.

Cargo space

Another selling point of the Nissan Xterra is the ample cargo space. Its maximum cargo capacity with the rear seats folded down is 65.7 cubic feet—not much if you compare it to a full-size SUV, but plenty of space when considering smaller SUVs.

This capacity of course shrinks if you’re carrying both passengers and a cargo load. In that case, you’ll get 36.3 cubic feet. The bright side is that you still have more than 50% of your total cargo space even with the second row of seats in use.

Compared to its competitor, the

Subaru Forester

, the cargo space is a wash. The Forester has more overall cargo capacity with 74.7 cubic feet available with the second row folded down. However, the Xterra offers more room with the second row in use compared to the 34.4 cubic feet available in the Forester.

Which other Nissan vehicles can seat eight people?

If your family is going to expand further, or you just want a little more space for your existing clan, you might want to consider a vehicle that can seat seven or eight in total. If that’s the case, you don’t need to look very far—Nissan produces two SUVs with that kind of seating capacity.

The

Nissan Pathfinder

is your first option for expanded seating. Depending on which configuration you choose, the Pathfinder can fit between seven and eight passengers total—swap out the second-row captain’s chairs for a bench seat if you need that extra space. Plus, with a power liftgate, it’s perfect for a busy trip to the grocery store.

The

Nissan Armada

comes with standard seating for eight, but you can drop the capacity to seven with the optional second-row captain’s chairs. The standard seating configuration for eight is spacious enough for both adults and children.

If you want to consider another Nissan with less seating capacity, you can think about the

Nissan Rogue

compact SUV or the

Nissan Murano

crossover, which both seat five. If an SUV is too much to handle for you, you can always consider a sedan like the Altima, Sentra, or Maxima which all seat five as well.
