Nissan Titan XD 2025: Updates and the return of the diesel engine.

The all-new Nissan Titan XD is set for more drastic upgrades. This pickup truck is currently managing solid sales. However, Titan XD is less popular than expected, which means the latest changes are far from successful. Now Nissan is opting for additional upgrades and that includes bringing back the diesel powertrain.

Pick up Nissan Titan XD

The Titan XD is only available in a crew cab version and a diesel engine will be a great addition. Interestingly, Titan XD is a segment of its own so this model has no real competitor at the moment. The latest changes include unique styling upgrades and various refreshes in the interior. Dimensionally, the Titan XD remains the same so this truck sits somewhere between the half-ton and heavy-duty models.

Titan XD Nismo

We like Nissan’s Nismo treatment. It’s a special package that delivers so many upgrades. The upcoming Nissan Titan XD Nismo could happen, which is very good to hear. Latest reports strongly suggest this model. In this case, the Nismo edition offers various updates. First of all, the appearance of the truck becomes more attractive and sporty. In addition, some parts are more aggressive, especially the side profile and the hood. Larger and more stylish wheels are offered, as well as unique exterior colors. Nissan is yet to officially confirm this variant.

Warrior concept

Another likely outcome for this pickup is an edition based on the Warrior concept. The Nissan Titan XD is a perfect candidate for a sportier or more aggressive special edition. A perfect example is Ram TRX variant. Nissan could do something similar with the Titan pickup and turn it into something closer to the Warrior concept. It is another very aggressive model that offers additional off-road equipment, stronger performances and many unique things.

Diesel engine returns

The upcoming Nissan Titan XD offers a 5.6-liter V8 petrol engine. This unit is available in some other models like Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX80 SUVs. A few weeks ago, some rumors predicted a new twin-turbo V6 engine for the XD model. However, this is another speculation that is yet to be confirmed. On the other hand, the Titan XD will surely arrive with a 5.0-liter V8 diesel engine. This turbodiesel unit can generate 330 hp and up to 555 lb-ft of torque. Diesel provides better fuel economy and towing capacity will also be improved. Of course, the off-road capabilities of the truck will also improve.

Start date and price

Once it arrives, the Nissan Titan XD will cost around €35,000 (Euros). The price could be even higher and this is just our prediction. As for the release date, Titan XD will be launched sometime next year. Most likely, this truck will go on sale in the second half of . While we wait for more details, the diesel engine is surely in service and the most important update .
