The last edition of the Xterra crossover was in 2015. Until now. The vehicle returns as 2019 Nissan Xterra with new look and features. The revisit of entire SUV should refresh the interest for this popular crossover. Fans are waiting, and soon we will have exact info about release date and price of the 2019 Xterra.
Some experts believe that the crossover will borrow the platform of the Navara truck. However, this is not likely, but it is still possible. If Nissan wants to breathe a new life to its SUV, then radical moves should be done. For Xterra, it is a new generation, with a lot of changes. Well, after four years, technology is far away from what we saw on 2015 crossover. Even then, Xterra showed signs of aging.
2019 Nissan Xterra Drivetrains Specs
What comes under the bonnet of the 2019 Nissan Xterra is a mystery. There is no info about the powertrains, besides the rumor, it will be V-6 diesel. However, only trucks in Nissan family are using these drivetrains, and these are somehow big for the crossover. Nevertheless, the company has a smaller displacement with a 2.3-liter unit with four-cylinders. This engine is already part of the Renault crossover lineup.
If we take a look at the past, we will find another possibility. At its end, the previous generation of the Nissan Xterra had a 2.8-l 4-cylinder diesel unit. This could be the solution for upcoming crossover. Duramax powertrain is reliable and durable, and it will provide at least 150 hp.
Petrol Engines
The 2019 Nissan Xterra will definitely have to offer a gas alternative. The second generation used a 4.0-liter V-6 drivetrain. However, buyers had a lot of complaints about this unit. This could be the major reason for sales drop and pause in production. Nevertheless, Nissan has a lot of possible drivetrains across the entire family which could be used as drivetrain for Xterra.
Hybrid
And what would you say if we mention 2019 Nissan Xterra Hybrid? We shouldn’t exclude this possibility, although it is far-fetched for now. The Japanese carmaker is a leader in its plug-in vehicles. Also, there are already hybrid crossovers on streets, so seeing 2019 Xterra as another one is everything but surprise.
2019 Nissan Xterra Redesign
Another important moment in 2019 Nissan Xterra life is the redesign. The compact SUV is larger than Rogue, and it is likely Xterra will take a position right above it. Nevertheless, the SUV will borrow some styling solutions from its siblings. Furthermore, being based on the Navara truck means we will see similarities between two models. Front fascias are going to share a lot of components.
2019 Nissan Xterra Future
The 2019 Nissan Xterra will be an indicator for bosses if this model is still worth of development. The SUV is going to see its future after 2019 only if it meets selling demands. Otherwise, this could be the last run of the crossover.
The price could be decisive here. Since Nissan Xterra is going to be slightly larger than Rogue, the cost could be compared to it. Base models are around $25,000, so the Xterra could add couple hundred dollars to this amount to be more attractive to buyers.
