Rumours have begun to bubble up that alongside the release of the new Frontier, Nissan may be planning to bring back the Xterra, an SUV that was discontinued in 2015.
Traditionally based on the undercarriage of the Frontier, the Nissan Xterra was built to be a comfortable and passenger-friendly alternative to the pickup. Whispers of a 7-seat, 3-row configuration have been circulating around the world wide web, confirming that consumers will have the opportunity to fill their vehicles with people— instead of bits of wood, sheet metal, or whatever else goes in a truck. And like its midsize cousin, the new Xterra will be versatile, able to handle both a morning commute or an impromptu vacation through the great outdoors with ease.
Speaking to media at the Tokyo Auto Show last year, Ashwani Gupta (vice president of Renault-Nissan’s light commercial vehicle department) hinted strongly that this car’s debut would occur at the upcoming 2018 Beijing exhibit.
