Hi,
The anser is really not easy. It would be easier to decide on the basis of your application requirements.
There is no direct replacement if I take into account internal structure. The device is "relatively" old. From the time when these devices were occupied major part of S12 devices market the evolution has brought:
S12XD family
S12XE family
Simplified devices from S12XE family S12XS, S12G, S12P
Present Magni V family
Compatibility is not easy, the closes compatibility is to a S12XD family
Price....Newer devices are cheaper.
Good also to mention product longevity program
The S12XD family is not in the product longevity program but still active. This is the easiest substitution. https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/additional-processors-and-mcus/8-16-bit...
Much harder porting code because of different memory map, principles, emulate eeprom,…. is to switch to S12XE family.
I have also attached application notes about compatibility.
A lot of ctms uses simplified S12G family devices, however, some changes, especially related to memory map approach has to be considered.

We also presented a lot of examples for S12XE and S12G devices which could help and simplify porting for a new design.
Finally Magni V devices. if you use CAN, LIN, Motor control then one of the devices could be suitable for you because these devices contains also transceivers and drivers integrated on the chip. Moreover, they can be suplied directly from 12V.S12 MagniV® Mixed-Signal MCUs for Automotive and Industrial|NXP
