Nissan introduced a new generation of its Frontier pickup in February 2021 as a 2022 model year, and it was more than a utility vehicle. The mid-size pickup was no longer just a workhorse, and many customers preferred it for its off-road capabilities and bold looks. Instead of towing trailers full of tools, the Frontier was increasingly seen pulling motorbikes, ATVs, and ski-jets. Buyers became more concerned with comfort features, advanced technology, and stylish design than with bare-bones functionality, and Nissan responded with a truck that appealed to both weekend warriors and daily commuters.
The 2022 Frontier featured a fully redesigned exterior with a squared-off, muscular stance. Its front fascia stood out with LED headlights featuring twin DRL light strips and a bold black grille sporting the Nissan badge in the center over a rugged mesh pattern. The tall front bumper integrated an optional metallic skid plate, enhancing its off-road readiness while maintaining an aggressive urban presence. Along the sides, the truck displayed stepped beltlines on the front and rear doors, giving it a sculpted, athletic profile. The vehicle was offered in both King Cab and Crew Cab configurations, with either a 5-foot or 6-foot bed, catering to those who needed flexibility in cargo space.
Inside the cabin, Nissan implemented significant upgrades to create a modern, functional space. The dashboard featured a flat, sturdy design with soft-touch materials and a slightly rounded instrument cluster that housed a 7-inch digital display. A large 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system was positioned high on the center stack, offering access to navigation, smartphone connectivity, and entertainment features. The new interior design was clearly meant to provide comfort on long trips and convenience during tough workdays, with well-placed controls and ample storage compartments.
Powering the 2022 Frontier was a 3.8-liter direct-injection V6 engine that delivered 310 horsepower and was mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Drivers could choose between two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive configurations, with shift-on-the-fly engagement and a low-range transfer case for more demanding off-road conditions. Nissan also included a standard limited-slip differential, and specific trims came with an electronically locking rear differential to improve traction on challenging terrain.
