Nissan Makes a Comeback in the US Market with Revived Xterra SUV. In a significant move, Nissan has announced plans to revamp its Mississippi plant, shifting its focus from producing cars to a line of truck-based vehicles. The company's first step in this new direction is the revival of the Xterra SUV, a popular model that was discontinued in 2015. The decision to revive the Xterra is seen as a strategic attempt to tap into the growing demand for rugged off-road vehicles in the US market, where Nissan has struggled to gain traction in recent years.
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.
