Nissan Motor Corporation unveiled its all-new Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid (PHEV) pickup truck at the Auto Shanghai 2025 show this week, which the company said is one of nine new energy vehicle (NEV) models it plans to launch in China by mid-2027. It was displayed alongside the recently-unveiled Dongfeng Nissan N7 battery-powered sedan, which is scheduled to go on sale this month.
The Japanese automaker confirmed that the Frontier Pro is its first-ever PHEV model and also its first electrified pickup truck. The model is scheduled to be launched in the Chinese market later this year and will also be available in other markets in Asia and elsewhere later on.
The five-seater double-cab Frontier Pro was designed to be a dual-purpose pickup truck targeted at families “seeking a vehicle that can comfortably and efficiently support their daily urban driving as well as weekend adventures beyond the city limits.” The company said it is styled around the concept of “Rugged Tech,” with a modern exterior design “that complements a spacious and refined interior.”
The plug-in hybrid powertrain features a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a transmission-mounted, high-output electric motor. Combined, the system delivers over 300 Kw of power and up to 800 Nm of torque. The Chinese model is expected to deliver a range of up to 135 km in pure EV mode.
All models will feature a 5-link rear suspension and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, which automatically controls torque distribution between the front and rear wheels. Off-road capability is supported by the availability of an electromechanical rear differential lock. It will be available with four drive modes: Hybrid, Pure electric, Performance, and Snow.
The interior comes with heated and ventilated front seats with seat-back massage, a 10-inch LCD instrument panel and a 14.6-inch infotainment screen.
