Nissan unveiled its all-new Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid pickup truck at Auto Shanghai 2025, marking the brand’s entry into the electrified pickup segment. The Frontier Pro is the second of nine New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) Nissan plans to launch in China by the summer of 2027.
A New Era of Pickups: The Frontier Pro is Nissan’s first-ever plug-in hybrid and the company’s first-ever electrified pickup truck. It combines Nissan’s pickup truck heritage with powertrain technology, incorporating learnings from China. Designed as a five-seat, dual-purpose pickup, the Frontier Pro is for families needing a vehicle for urban driving and weekend trips.
Rugged Tech Design: The Frontier Pro’s design is “Rugged Tech,” with a modern exterior and refined interior. The front has an illuminated white Nissan logo. Five LED lights accentuate the truck’s width. Three central lights nod to the 1980s Nissan D21 hardbody pickup. All versions have 18-inch alloy wheels and 265/65R18 tires.
Hybrid Power: The Frontier Pro has a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an electric motor. The system delivers over 300 kW and up to 800 Nm of torque. In China, the plug-in hybrid is targeted to deliver up to 135 km of EV-only range.
Drive Technology: All Frontier Pro models have 5-link rear suspension and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. An electromechanical rear differential lock is available. Four drive modes are available: ‘Hybrid’, ‘Pure electric’, ‘Performance’ and ‘Snow’.
Interior Features: The Frontier Pro’s interior has a panoramic roof, a 10-inch LCD instrument panel, and a 14.6-inch infotainment screen. Front seat heating, ventilation, and seat-back massage are available. It includes roof rails and an electronic retractable cargo cover. A Vehicle-to-load (V2L) port allows owners to power devices, supplying up to 6kW.
