This first teaser reveals a prominent ‘NISSAN’ badge, amber accent lights, and yellow paint.
\nNissan has confirmed the Xterra\u2019s return, likely sometime in 2028.
\nThe SUV is expected to feature a body-on-frame platform and a naturally aspirated V6 engine.<\/p>\n

Get ready: A new Nissan Xterra is on the way. The company has confirmed the SUV will return to the lineup, likely for the 2028 model year, and now we\u2019re getting our first official preview. From what we can see so far, it looks pretty tough.<\/p>\n

Nissan<\/a> has released a single teaser image showing the front end of the upcoming Xterra<\/a>. While details are still pretty slim, a few key elements stand out: a bold “NISSAN” wordmark across the front bumper, amber accent lights tucked beneath the hood line, and a striking yellow paint finish. It also looks like the new Xterra could have split headlights.<\/p>\n

Sharp-eyed viewers might notice some design cues you’ve seen before. The triple accent lighting resembles what we\u2019ve seen on global Nissan models like the Frontier Pro PHEV<\/a> (as does the yellow paint job), and there are even hints of similarity to recent Pajero teasers.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not too surprising, though. Nissan\u2019s more rugged models tend to share design language and features. We already know the new Xterra will ride on a body-on-frame platform and feature a naturally aspirated V6 engine\u2014so no hybrid powertrain this time.<\/p>\n

The new Xterra is expected to arrive sometime in 2028.<\/p>\n

Motor1’s Take: This teaser image doesn’t show much, but it gives us a good idea of what the next Xterra SUV will look like when it debuts in just a few years.<\/p>\n
