I drove my 2006 Nissan Xterra off the lot brand new in May of 2006. Today, it only has 92,000 miles and I can honestly say it has never once let me down. It has lived in my garage and I have kept up on preventive maintenance and did the few recalls that came up. Tires, an A/C repair. a new windshield, and a new radiator (recommended by the dealer and the internet) are the only things besides regular maintenance I have done to it. Over 17 years old, I still love it, and everything still works, even the low windshield fluid light on the dash that came on for the first time two month ago, which went away when I filled the reservoir.

People already complain about everything being underpowerd, and you want a full-framed 180hp 4cyl SUV? It's a 3-row, but does it fit us larger people in North America well? The NP3000 Navara (on which it's based) doesn't pass North American crash tests, which is why you can't import one from Mexico. The (X-)Terra would have the same problem, especially on a vehicle that may or may not sell and Nissan wouldn't invest in that. They actually already tried IIRC with the D22. For the Xterra to be worthwhile, it would have to be based on the current the D41 Frontier. As TFL said, people want simpler and that's where the Frontier shines. Toyota has a good turbo-4-hybrid, but that also corrects performance issues with the 3.5L V6. Nissan doesn't have much in their arsenal for turbo4's, and they're currently working on V6's and even downsizing the (wonderful) V8 to a turbo V6. Best to put what they got, cause realistically, if they offer exactly what Toyota is offering, then you're just better off going with a Toyota to begin with.

I rescued my 2001 from getting crushed back in 2018. It was an abandoned vehicle at a towyard that no one wanted because it was the 2.4L KA RWD base model with a lot of issues. Still running and driving, though. I paid $550 for it with 153K and a clean title. It's an EX1 Gold Rush Metallic paint-code. I've since rebuilt the engine, replaced the transmission, and gave it the 16" wheels from the V6 model. Scored everything for it from the junkyards near me, and most of the engine parts came off Frontiers since KA variants seem more common for those. It's only 150 HP and limited to 100MPH, but to be fair, it's a timing chain engine where the V6 was 170HP and had a top speed of 117, and that engine had a timing belt. If they create a third generation with body on frame construction, a manual transmission option, and a turbocharged 4 cylinder option with a timing chain, I would make that the first new car I'd buy without hesitation. In the mean time, my 01 is a great daily driver. Had no problem getting me to work in the -10F snowstorm we had several weeks back.

I had a 2003 Supercharged (5-Speed) Xterra for almost 14 years but sadly had to retire it from a rusting frame. I ended up going with a V8 Pathfinder to replace it. Something felt missing in the gen2 Xterra. I know it's supposed to be more bare-bones, but felt cheaper then my gen1. I know it's technically less capable off-road (well see as I build it up) but it's still in no comparison to the Pathfinder since 2013 and up, no matter how rugged the 2022+ looks. I know Nissan is done with the V8, but I just love it. The Xterra towed 5000lbs, but the V6 Pathfinder did 6000lbs and the Frontier 6500lbs on the same drivetrain. Heck, a V8 Wrangler is only allowed 3500lbs and the Bronco Raptor only 4500lbs. It is kinda ironic that it took both the Pathfinder and the Xterra to compete against the 4Runner as they both did, but neither at the same time, all depending on the trim level. Personally, the Xterra needs to come back as yes, a body-on-frame truck, (small) 3rd row with a 6000lb towing capacity. Frontier-based with a solid rear axle and locker. No hybrid, simple to maintain. Make this a capable work and off-road vehicle. Probably cause you don't want to eat into their "Rock Creek" Mallfinder sales.

Bring it back on the Frontier frame and undercut the 4 Runner’s prices across the board, they won’t be able to keep up with the demand.

I had an Xterra and liked it a lot. I recently replaced it with a 23' Pro4x. I really like both, but a new Xterra would be awesome!

I have manual 2010 Nissan xterra 165,000 miles that got for $1000 dollars 💵 and I Love it. I wish the Nissan bring it back with some new Ideas some that looks like the 4 Runner or like the Ford Bronco or the Jeep Rubicon.

I was shocked when Nissan stopped the Xterra. Terrible timing. No reason not to bring it back. It’d be an easy money maker for them.

I had a 2007 Xterra off-road and it was a beast. I now have a 2016 Wrangler 2dr which I traded my Nissan for. It was a mistake. I wish Nissan would make something as compact as a two-door Wrangler. If they could make it somewhat basic as far as a naturally aspirated engine, I would trade in my Jeep for it in a heartbeat.

Should they bring it back? Absolutely!! Will they? Probably not, but getting rid of the Xterra was one of the stupider things Nissan did because they alienated their loyal fan base.

If Nissan came out with the xterra again and put a v6 non turbo in it, you would see at least one, maybe two in my driveway. Have an old 4runner that I’m looking to replace but I won’t be replacing it with a new one because I don’t like the 4 cylinder or the turbo. If a manufacturer comes out with an old school suv with a proper engine, they have my money.

yes, as a 2017 and 2005 Pathfinder owner. Love to see the X-Terra on a truck frame. May consider this instead of a Pathfinder as I prefer the truck frame. Hope towing is up there past the 6500 lbs as well.

I love the concept of releasing a new Xterra, but I think it's too late. The segment is really competitive now. A few years ago, there was basically just a Wrangler and a 4Runner. Now with the Bronco, Land Cruiser, and additional new flavors of Wrangler, it would be a tougher sell. I'm not saying it won't have any commercial success, but relative to what it could have been with better timing, it would be greatly diminished.

I have been hoping they bring it back. Only thing I would trade my Frontier P4X for. Your render needs the back passenger door handles up high like the old ones.

I have a 2012 XTerra and would happily replace it with a new base model 4x4 XTerra if it's priced like the current Frontier. If it costs any more though I am just waiting out for the new 4Runner

I have had several Nissans in my family including 3 Xterras (2006/2010/currently 2014 and a 2022 Nissan Frontier. I have never had any issues with these vehicles except your normal recalls. I have about 25,000 miles on the 2014 and it still runs great. Realizing that its old technology which is why they were pretty cheap. I have been waiting for a new Xterra for years now. I would love to see a new Xterra . I live near the water and need for a decent ground clearance of the 9.5 foot or more. More interior room especially in the back seat which is currently cramped in the old ones. I do not want an open pick up. I prefer a mid sized or larger SUV enclosed. I look forward to see what Nissan is planning.
@kensai777 ай бұрын
Please NISSAN if you are watching... BRING BACK THE XTERRA! And let it be a naturally aspirated V6, not some turbo 4-cylinder. And also include a manual transmission lol

I've owned both body styles of Xterra. I'm currently in a 2013 with a 2 inch lift and 120k on it. It's still got a good 5 years or more on it but i would enjoy it even more knowing I've got a successor to buy when it's at EOL.

Bought my 2007 Xterra new, and it now has 280,000 miles. The only drivetrain part I've replaced is the starter at 240,000 miles. Best vehicle I've ever owned. Would I buy a reborn Xterra? ONLY if it was like my 2nd gen. It must be able to go 350,000 miles without any problems. SO, NO Auto 4wd, only a regular transfer case. NO turbo engine, just a basic tried and true V6. I use the wet box roof storage for my recovery gear and want that again. I want the transmission out of the Titan again. My Xterra interior does NOT look like a Buick (like the Jeep Grand Cherokee), it looks like a TRUCK with big knobs I can turn wearing gloves and when mud gets on everything it does not matter etc. It was also reasonably priced because it does not have every ridiculous gizmo they can think of thrown on it. Honestly, if Nissan would just build me another Xterra EXACTLY like my 2007, I would buy it today.
