Nissan debuted the all-new Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid pickup truck at Auto Shanghai 2025.
Alongside the Dongfeng Nissan N7, the all-new pickup represents the second of nine New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) Nissan plans to launch in China by summer 2027.
The two new models showcase Nissan’s commitment to expanding segment coverage and revitalizing its lineup with technology-packed products that enhance competitiveness.
When it goes on sale in China later this year, the all-new Frontier Pro will be Nissan’s first-ever plug-in Hybrid and Nissan’s first-ever electrified pickup truck.
It pairs Nissan’s decades-long pickup truck legacy and learnings with the latest powertrain technology from the world’s leading NEV market, China.
The five-seat, dual-purpose pickup has been designed for families who seek a vehicle that can comfortably and efficiently support their daily urban driving as well as weekend adventures beyond the city limits.
Design:
The all-new Frontier Pro was styled around the concept of “Rugged Tech” with a modern exterior design that complements a spacious and refined interior.
Within the front mask, the Nissan brand logo is illuminated in vibrant white, proudly signifying the Frontier Pro’s new era of electrified capability. Parallel to the hood line, five LED light elements, spaced apart, accentuate the width of the truck. The three central lights pay subtle homage to one of Nissan’s most iconic pickup trucks.
While styling the all-new Frontier Pro within Nissan’s Shanghai studio, members of the design team were inspired by the distinctive three-slot opening in the hood of the 1980s Nissan D21 hardbody pickup. In creating the Frontier Pro’s lighting signature, they leveraged LEDs to reimagine this design element for a new era.
All variants ride on standard 18-inch alloy wheels with 265/65R18 tires.
Powertrain:
At its heart is a powerful plug-in hybrid powertrain featuring a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder internal combustion engine and a transmission-mounted, high output electric motor.
Combined, the system delivers over 300Kw of power and up to 800 newton meters of torque, offering a balance of performance and efficiency.
For the China domestic market, the Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid is targeted to deliver up to 135km* of EV-only range.
Drive:
All models feature a 5-link rear suspension and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, which automatically controls torque distribution between the front and rear wheels.
Off-road capability is supported by the availability of an electromechanical rear differential lock. Four drive modes: ‘Hybrid, Pure electric, Performance and Snow’ allow the driver to tailor their experience to the conditions and their preferences.
Interior:
Inside, the cabin is spacious and well-appointed with a standard panoramic roof, a 10-inch LCD instrument panel, and 14.6-inch infotainment screen. Front seat heating, ventilation and seat-back massage are available.
To support the active lifestyle of owners, the all-new Nissan Frontier Pro includes features such as roof rails and an electronic retractable cover for the cargo area.
Owners can conveniently charge household devices using a Vehicle-to-load (V2L) port, which leverages the plug-in hybrid battery to supply up to 6kW of power.
Co-developed with Zhengzhou Nissan (ZNA), the all-new Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid will be produced and go on sale in China before the end of this year.
It will also be exported outside of China with the recipient markets to be the subject of a future announcement.
