Overview
- Nissan has confirmed development of a revived Xterra using a hybrid V6 after shelving an earlier EV plan.
- The completed Project X has been unveiled as a one-off and is scheduled to appear at the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
- The build combines a first-generation Xterra greenhouse and rear bodywork with current Frontier exterior pieces plus interior components.
- Power comes from a modified 5.6-liter VK56 V8 paired to a six-speed manual with a short-throw shifter, feeding a traditional 4WD system.
- Titan axles and suspension underpin the SUV with upgrades such as Z1 forged control arms, medium-duty leaf springs, CJD shackles, and Paragon six-piston front calipers.
