Remember the Nissan Xterra? Well, it’s making a comeback, and it’s shaping up to be everything off-road enthusiasts have been dreaming of. Nissan is serious about reviving this iconic SUV, promising a vehicle that’s tough, nostalgic, and—get this—refreshingly affordable.
Nissan’s senior vice president, Michael Soutter, spilled some details, confirming their plan to keep the new Xterra simple, rugged, and focused on capability, not tech overload. They’re aiming for a starting price under $40,000, which is huge news in today’s inflated market. “We got everything the customer needs in there — and nothing they don’t,” Soutter said. This means an old-school, body-on-frame construction (think Jeep Wrangler or Ford Bronco rivals) that’s versatile and ready for modifications.
The new Xterra will pack all the off-road tech you need, like a two-speed transfer case and a low-range gearbox. Nissan wants you to feel like you can tackle anything, from rock crawling to daily adventures. Oh, and here’s the best part: a yellow exterior is an absolute requirement.
