2022 Nissan Frontier Review

Class-Leading Power

One of the areas where the Nissan Frontier impresses the most is with its engine and corresponding capabilities. Under the hood, you’ll find a 3.8L Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) V6 engine that comes ready to distribute 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque seamlessly through its 9-speed automatic transmission.

Perhaps more impressive than this raw power are the capacities it arms the pickup with. Looking at towing, you’ll have 6,720 pounds of maximum towing capacity to work with when properly equipped.¹ Not to mention, the 1,610 pounds of maximum payload that can be achieved when properly configured thanks to the cargo bed that measures just over a maximum of six feet in length.²

A Pickup with Personality

The Frontier also comes with a bit of flavor incorporated into its design, specifically inside. Besides the 100.1 cubic feet of maximum passenger volume that stands out, which allows you to seat five, the interior is configured with a number of impressive features that enhance the driving experience provided to you behind the wheel.

For instance, you’ll find a standard NissanConnect^® multimedia system that comes with an 8-inch touch-screen display. This system will provide access to Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto™ integration, both of which can be utilized via Voice Recognition to send texts, make calls, and switch between personalized playlists on the go. Whether you’re headed to the worksite or out on an adventure, you’re sure to love these features.

For increased style, you may also want to explore the available Lava Red contrast interior stitching. When paired with other available amenities, like leather seating and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, the interior will sing in terms of flair and fashion.

The Essentials: Safety and Security

While the Frontier delights with its powertrain and interior, Nissan did not forget the most important package in any car—the safety suite!

The Frontier comes equipped with quite a few driver-assistive systems in addition to the standard safety features, like airbags and seatbelts. For example, the pickup comes with the Intelligent Forward Collision Warning system, which monitors the environment in front of the vehicle and can detect if obstructions present themselves.

Additionally, you’ll find an innovative Intelligent Driver Alertness feature that alerts you if you become drowsy or are distracted behind the wheel.
