The 2024 Nissan Frontier arrives with high expectations, ready to compete directly with the current segment leaders, Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger, promising innovation and sophistication in the medium pickup truck market.

The new generation Nissan Frontier, scheduled for 2024, represents a significant milestone for Nissan, being its biggest global launch of the year. The Japanese pickup, part of a partnership between Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi, brings innovations that promise to put it at the top of the segment.

With dimensions similar to Mitsubishi L200, the new Frontier will measure 5,36 meters in length, 3,13 in wheelbase, 1,93 in width and 1,81 in height. Its bucket will hold up to 1000 liters and support one ton. The exterior design includes Nissan's famous chrome V grille and split headlights with full LED lighting. The sides will have elongated silhouettes, while the rear will feature LED lights and a chromed iron bumper.

Engine and performance

The 2024 Nissan Frontier will maintain the 2.3 twin-turbo diesel engine, but with improvements to offer more than 200 horsepower and approximately 50 kg of torque. And of course, the pickup will have options for mild hybrid versions, following the trend of Hilux in Europe. The seven-speed automatic transmission and 4x4 traction will be maintained, with the addition of an electrical system and a 48V generator, promising better fuel efficiency and superior performance.

Interior and technology

Inside, the new Frontier will become more sophisticated, comparable to the new Ranger, with better finishing, leather on the largest areas of the dashboard and doors. The interior space will be comfortable for five adults. The equipment list will include a Bose premium sound system, face-to-face key, sunroof, induction charging, front seats with electrical adjustments and ventilation, configurable digital dashboard, dual-zone digital climate control and an advanced multimedia system.

advanced security

Safety will be a strong point of the new Frontier, with features such as adaptive autopilot, autonomous emergency braking, lane change alert, license plate reader, blind spot detector, between others. It is worth noting that the independent multilink suspension will be maintained, improving driving and comfort.

Launch and marketingo

Promised for the first half of 2024, the Nissan Frontier will arrive in Europe first, like Navara, and will then be manufactured in other markets, including Latin America. With the new generation, Nissan hopes to make significant progress compared to the current model, taking advantage of the opportunity before the launch of the new generation Toyota Hilux in 2025. The Frontier will be produced in Argentina, benefiting from favorable tax agreements, while the L200 Triton, its platform sister will be manufactured in Brazil.

The new 2024 Nissan Frontier is positioned to be a strong competitor in the pickup truck market, bringing a combination of performance, technology and sophistication. With its arrival, the model is expected to challenge the segment leaders and offer consumers a robust and technologically advanced option in the medium pickup truck market.
