Nissan plans to "revive" Xterra, a new rival to Toyota 4Runner

According to some sources, Nissan is planning to re-release the Xterra off-road SUV model to compete directly with the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, Toyota 4Runner...

The new generation Nissan Xterra is expected to launch in 2028. It is likely that the car will be equipped with a V6 hybrid powertrain, possibly a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) with a pure electric range of about 120 km, equivalent to the range of a mini electric car.

According to the plan, the new Xterra will be produced at the Canton plant (Mississippi, USA), which is assembling the Frontier/Navara pickup line. Most likely, the vehicle will share the same body-on-frame platform with the Frontier, promising strong off-road capabilities.

Nissan plans to "revive" the Xterra, a new rival to the Toyota 4Runner.

First launched in 1999, the Nissan Xterra went through two generations in 16 years before being discontinued in 2015. In the context of the growing off-road SUV segment, especially the resounding success of the Toyota 4Runner, Nissan decided to revive the Xterra to fill the gap in its product range.

Currently, Nissan's only body-on-frame SUV in the US is the Armada. However, the Armada is large, expensive, and has only recently added an off-road version, so the Xterra is expected to become a more reasonable choice for off-road enthusiasts.

Between now and spring 2027, Nissan plans to introduce 20 new models and upgrades in the U.S. and Canada.

Nissan plans to introduce 20 new models and upgrades in the US and Canada by spring 2027. Notably, the new generation Infiniti Q50 sedan uses a 400-horsepower twin-turbo V6 engine and a 6-speed manual transmission from the Nissan Z sports car. Nissan is also expanding its hybrid portfolio and preparing to launch a low-cost electric crossover version of the Leaf.
