I swear that's an NX class they're flying in the new trailer!

It's not an NX, but it is clearly meant to be a hommage to it. Or a very heavily modified version.
In the trailer it does resemble the NX from behind ...
But from the concept art we've seen, it's a much smaller ship.

Based on the very quick shots of it we see in the trailer, I had assumed it was NX just with better surface detailing because it's on the big screen.
Yes it does.
You know, it's weird. I've never cared for the NX design, but I am kind of excited to see it (or at least something based on it) on the big screen. In a way, all five Trek shows will now have been represented on the big screen. TOS and TNG of course had their own movies, DS9 was represented with the Defiant appearing in First Contact, First Contact also featured an EMH and Janeway was in Nemesis, thus securing Voyager's representation.
Well, I meant a visual representation, but you're right about the NX model in STID. Plus, the NX-Alpha from First Flight, which definitely wins obscurity points.
either way I can't wait to see this baby in action.
And you can also see the wedge shape in the aft section.Nope, not "exactly", it's missing the warp field governer model between the nacelles.
Looks a lot smaller than a NX.
Corvette/cutter analogue IMO. Though, with the typical trope that smaller = faster when in space.

It is smaller then the NX, but not that much. The Franklin has 6 decks, while the NX has 7. I've seen the number 6 on a turboleft on the Franklin bridge in a picture I've seen over at Trekcore.
Looks like it masses quite a bit less by eyeballing the two.
Mmh, I think they dropped the concept art ship and decided to go with a refitted NX model to establish some continuity. We know the NX series is canon thanks to Into Darkness, and if the planet is supposed to have crashed ships over a long period of time then it would be a cool tie-in to find an old NX series for the crew to use.
