One of the most popular mid-size trucks on the market is the Nissan Frontier. Also, it is one of the best-selling Nissan vehicles in the US market. Frontier gained reorganization among truck enthusiasts because it offers a spacious cabin with plenty of headroom and legroom. But not just space and a well-equipped cabin earned respect for this model. The Frontier is equipped with a powerful and reliable engine under the hood. Guaranteeing good working capabilities and best-in-class driving characteristics. The 2025 Nissan Frontier will bring a refresh to the interior and exterior of this truck. Making it appealing and interesting for new customers.
Maybe the most interesting change for the upcoming model will be the introduction of a new hybrid powertrain. The new mill guarantees us even better performance, especially on low-end RPM. And most important of all, it will improve Frontier’s fuel efficiency.
2025 Nissan Frontier Hybrid
The refreshed 2025 model will have a new powertrain under the hood. At this moment, there is no official news about what engine combination will be used. However, according to rumors, Nissan will develop a new 2.5-liter turbo gasoline V6 engine that will be paired with an electric motor. This duo will produce up to 350 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. The power will be delivered to intelligent all-wheel drive through an adapted 10-speed automatic transmission.
One of the main focuses of this truck is its working capabilities. The hybrid model will offer up to 6400 pounds of towing capacity, and the payload maximum will be 1500 pounds.
But the main reason why Nissan introduced the Hybrid model is its city fuel efficiency and following the global trend of reducing carbon emissions. The EPA rating is expected to be 22 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway. For mixed-drive, we expect something in between, and probably it will be 23 MPG.
Changes for the hybrid model will not be just under the hood. This model will get an improved suspension. New color choices and a new rim design. The interior will also get upgrades, and because this engine will be in higher-end trims, we expect it to come with well-equipped interiors.
2025 Nissan Frontier PRO 4x
The 2025 Nissan Frontier will come in multiple trim configurations. There is plenty of additional equipment that customers can choose from. There are plenty of interior and exterior colors to choose from. One of those trims will be an offroad-oriented PRO 4x. This trim will come with plenty of upgrades and features to make this model more off-road capable. It will share the standard engine that will come with the 2025 Nissan Frontier, but it will have an improved all-wheel drive system with a rear locking differential. Also, wheels will be part of off-road upgrades. It will stand on 18-inch rims that will be wrapped in 33-inch terrain tires. Offroad suspension with anti-shock bars will also be included. The new 2025 model will get underbody protection, side rockguards, and special towing hooks.
The PRO 4x front and rear bumpers will also be redesigned, and this model will come with unique bumpers. The reason behind this will be to achieve better departure and approach angles.

The 2025 model will share the same platform as the 2024 model. The leader body on the frame will guarantee good towing and payload rates and a powerful 3.8-liter V6 will be the reason for good driving capabilities. The engine will produce 320 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. The power will be delivered to the rear-wheel drive through a 10-speed automatic gearbox. All-wheel drive will be an option. This engine, combined with this chassis, will guarantee us good driving capabilities and smooth acceleration. The 2025 model should improve steering and make it more agile and precise.
One of the most important specifications for Frontier is the towing rate. The 2025 model will continue to offer good towing rates, and it will be improved to 6900 pounds. But it will be short of rivals such as the Chevy Colorado, Jeep Gladiator, and GMC Canyon, which can pull more than 7,500 pounds. The payload capacity will stay the same, and it will be 1650 pounds.
