Nissan Revives Iconic Xterra SUV and More: Mississippi Plant to Get Major Overhaul In a move that signals a renewed commitment to the US market, Nissan is set to revamp its Mississippi plant to produce a range of truck-based vehicles. At the forefront of this new strategy is the long-awaited return of the Xterra SUV, a rugged off-roader that first hit the roads in 1999 and gained a loyal following. The Xterra's revival is expected to be the first of several new models to roll off the assembly line, as Nissan aims to capitalize on the growing demand for pickup trucks and SUVs in the US. With this significant investment, the Mississippi plant is poised to play a key role in the company's plans to expand its North American presence.
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.
