Nissan Xterra SUV Teased with Bold Front End, V6 and Body-On-Frame for 2028

Nissan confirmed the Xterra nameplate will return, likely for the 2028 model year, and released a teaser image showing the SUV's front end.

The teaser depicts a bold "NISSAN" wordmark on the front bumper, amber accent lights tucked beneath the hood line, a striking yellow paint finish, and styling that suggests split headlights.

Observers noted the triple accent lighting and color echo details seen on Nissan's Frontier Pro PHEV and recent Pajero teasers, reflecting shared rugged design cues across Nissan models.

The forthcoming Xterra is expected to ride on a body-on-frame platform and use a naturally aspirated V6 rather than a hybrid powertrain, and the model is expected to arrive in 2028.
