Nissan Revives Classic SUV in Major Mississippi Plant Shift. In a significant move, Nissan has announced plans to transform its Mississippi plant into a hub for truck-based vehicle production. A key component of this new strategy is the revival of the popular Xterra SUV, a model that was last produced in 2015 but remains a beloved choice for outdoor enthusiasts. The move marks a significant shift in Nissan's production priorities, as the company seeks to capitalize on growing demand for rugged, off-road-capable vehicles.
The new plan for the Mississippi plant is to build a range of truck-based Nissan vehicles, starting with a revival of the Xterra SUV.
