The Nissan Frontier is a midsize truck known for its rugged design and a balance of power and practicality. In the 2025 variant, Nissan has introduced several useful upgrades to the vehicle, including enhanced towing capacity, improved safety features, and a revamped front end, featuring a squared-off grille and an updated headlight design. With such targeted upgrades, the 2025 Nissan Frontier builds on the reputation that the truck has established over the years.

Performance

The Nissan Frontier is powered by a 3.8L V-6 engine that produces 281 pound-feet of torque and 310 horsepower. This engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission system, which is available for both all-wheel and rear-wheel drive variants.

Driving experience

The Frontier handles road bumps with more finesse than one might expect. Its hydraulic cab mounts help reduce vibrations in the cabin, which improves comfort on long drives. While the steering wheel feels heavy for a midsize truck, it provides more control at higher speeds or when towing. The suspension is firm when the truck is unloaded, but once there’s weight in the bed or a trailer is hooked up, the ride smooths out significantly.

Technology

The 2025 Nissan Frontier has an 8-inch touchscreen display in all its models as the standard infotainment center.

The center console has several charging stations, including USB Type-A ports and a USB-C port for added convenience. Wireless charging and subscription-based WiFi hotspots are optional features. For an additional cost, buyers can upgrade to a nine-speaker Fender audio system. Another notable benefit is that wireless connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard in all variants.

Interior

The Frontier’s cabin is well-designed with decent-quality materials. The truck includes a 7.0-inch color display and an analog gauge. The vehicle can accommodate four to five passengers in the front depending on the cab type. While the seats that came with the vehicle are quite comfortable, buyers can opt for heated front seats for extra comfort. Similarly, one can also get a heated steering wheel. The Zero Gravity seats in the 2025 Nissan Frontier are great for all-day driving.

Towing and storage

The maximum towing capacity that the Nissan Frontier models offer drivers is 7,150 pounds. It is said to offer a maximum payload of 1,480 pounds. The truck’s towing capacity is enough for owners to tow along a small to midsize trailer. With the additional features, the towing should be easy and trouble-free.

The interior of the cabin offers ample storage space for the driver and passengers. There are cup holders and an additional tray at the front. Buyers can choose between a short and a long bed, depending on their need for cargo space. The short cargo bed is almost 5 feet long, while the longer one extends over 6 feet.

Fuel economy

The rear-wheel drive variants of the Frontier can deliver around 18 mpg in city and 24 mpg on a highway drive. The figures are different for the all-wheel drive variants of the model. Buyers who are investing in a four-wheel drive can expect 17 mpg in the city and 22 mpg EPA estimates on the highway. The combined EPA estimate for a four-wheel drive variant is 19 mpg in city-highway driving.

Safety

The 2025 Nissan Frontier comes with the Nissan Safety Shield 360 system, which provides a wide array of safety features.

• Pedestrian detection
• Automated emergency braking
• Automatic high-beam headlamps
• Adaptive cruise control
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Lane-departure warning

The truck’s assortment of driver-assistance technologies as a standard safety feature ensures the driver and passengers are safe during the journey.

The price can range from $32,050 to $44,000, based on the trim and features chosen. The vehicle’s pricing is in a comparable range to similar vehicles in the same category. Nissan also offers a 3-year or 36,000-mile warranty on its vehicles. For the powertrain, the warranty lasts for 5 years or 60,000 miles.
