At the 2025 Shanghai International Auto Show, Nissan unveiled its all-new Frontier PRO Plug-in Hybrid pickup truck, marking a significant step forward in the Japanese automaker’s electrification strategy.
This also marks the first time Nissan has introduced a pickup truck with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain.
The Frontier PRO Plug-in Hybrid is the result of a collaborative development effort between Nissan and its joint venture, Zhengzhou Nissan (ZNA), in China. The debut of this vehicle in the world’s most populous market reflects the importance of China in Nissan’s electric vehicle strategy.
This pickup is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system comprising a turbocharged 1.5L gasoline engine, an electric motor, and an external charging system, delivering a combined maximum output of 408 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque.
It also features an intelligent all-wheel-drive system, ensuring agile performance on various terrains. In pure electric mode, the Frontier PRO PHEV can travel up to 135 kilometers on the NEDC cycle.
Not only is the Frontier PRO Plug-in Hybrid powerful, but it also boasts a sophisticated suspension setup with a 5-link independent rear suspension for a smoother ride.
The interior stands out with a large 14.6-inch central touchscreen, a 10-inch digital instrument cluster, a panoramic roof, and other user-oriented conveniences. Notably, the truck bed features a power-operated tonneau cover and retractable side steps, enhancing practicality.
Nissan announced that the Frontier PRO Plug-in Hybrid will enter mass production by the end of 2025. With this introduction, Nissan demonstrates its quick adaptation to the rising trend of electrification in Asia and worldwide.
