• The off-road SUV will use a body-on-frame layout shared with the Frontier pickup to bolster capability.
• Nissan confirmed a hybrid V6 powertrain for the model, with technical specifications yet to be disclosed.
• The program replaces an electric SUV previously slated for production at Canton, signaling a shift in the company’s U.S. product plans.
