A Look at the Reinvigorated 2022 Nissan Frontier

The all-new 2022 Nissan Frontier has been reinvigorated with more capability and better performance. Nissan has kept the mid-size pickup somewhat stagnant, but now in its third generation, the 2022 Frontier stands out among its competitors. It’s good to see Nissan updating its combustion engine vehicles. As of late, the Japanese automaker has been focusing on its electrification efforts. The all-electric 2023 Nissan Ariya was recently unveiled and the Nissan Leaf was also updated. Many automakers have been moving toward EVs, but some consumers still prefer gasoline vehicles like the 2022 Nissan Frontier. We’ll take a look at the newly updated Frontier and see what makes it stand out as a tough pickup.

Driving the 2022 Nissan Frontier

The 2022 Nissan Frontier makes use of a powerful naturally aspirated 3.8L V6 engine that’s capable of 310 horsepower and 281lb-ft of torque. This engine pairs with a 9-speed automatic transmission that provides the pickup with smooth shifting and responsive acceleration. Nissan has also provided the mid-size pickup with a new driver-selectable 4-wheel drive mode and an off-road mode. Owners will enjoy great performance and capability as the 2022 Frontier has improved suspension to help maintain stability. There’s also hill descent control that is aided by the truck’s impressive ground clearance, angle approach, and departure angle. Given all this, the pickup has no problem navigating tough terrain. 

Inside the 2022 Nissan Frontier 

The 2022 Nissan Frontier has been updated with a more modern look. The mid-size pickup features updated fenders as well as a Nissan Hardbody-inspired front bumper. The 2022 Frontier also has a new massive grille with LED headlights. Inside the 2022 Nissan Frontier, owners will note an improved interior that blends luxury with comfort. There are upscale materials and premium convenience features like heated seats and a heated steering wheel. The pickup truck also offers owners either king cab seating for 4 or crew cab seating for 5. 

For entertainment, the 2022 Frontier has a 9-inch touchscreen that pairs with Nissan Connect 9. This is also compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For safety and driver-assist features, the mid-size pickup has Nissan’s Safety Shield 360 which includes automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warnings, rear cross-traffic alerts, and lane departure warnings. Owners can also make use of the Frontier’s Intelligent Around View Monitor which provides a 360-degree view when parking.
