Compare 2026 vs 2025 Nissan Frontier

Performance

The 2025 and 2026 Frontier are offered with the same four trim levels, each with the same 3.8-liter V6 engine. The engine's output is 281 pound-feet of torque and 310 horsepower. Rear-wheel drive and a nine-speed auto transmission are standard. The Frontier is available with a low-range gearing four-wheel drive as an upgrade. Some trim levels for both years have a locking rear differential and Bilstein shock absorbers.

Appearance

The 2026 Frontier has the same strong, distinguished style in 2026 as the 2025 version. The confident design begins with a squared-off nose covered mainly by the integrated bumper and grille. The fog lights and LED headlights are rectangular and run horizontally. From the side view, the Frontier has a powerful look with flared and molded fenders. Some or all trim levels have adjustable tie-down cleats, a household power outlet for the truck bed, a power-sliding rear window, a Class IV tow hitch, 17-inch wheels, a spray-in bed liner, bed lighting, skid plates, and all-terrain tires.
