After selling the current-generation Frontier for the last 15 years with only minor changes, Nissan is finally readying a new version of its mid-size pickup truck. We spotted a prototype of the new 2022 Frontier testing in Michigan, revealing its squared-off new styling and the continuation of the King Cab configuration.
© Brad Fick - Car and Driver 2022 Nissan FrontierNissan first teased the new Frontier earlier this year, and we can see the same blunt front end here, despite a bit of camouflage. Like the Toyota Tacoma's most recent redesign, the new Frontier will likely be a new body and interior on top of the same frame as before, rather than a full ground-up redux. Extended-cab and crew-cab models should remain available, along with short- and long-bed configurations.
We already know about the new Frontier's new powertrain, because Nissan introduced it in the outgoing truck for 2020: a 3.8-liter V-6 engine with 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque mated with a nine-speed automatic. In our testing, the new motor wasn't really any more impressive than the old 4.0-liter V-6, with the 2020 Frontier delivering the same acceleration numbers and worse fuel economy than a 2017 model we tested. Rear- and four-wheel drive will be offered, and we expect Nissan to once again offer a Pro-4X off-road trim level.
Look for Nissan to debut the new 2022 Frontier either at the end of this year or early in 2021, with the new model arriving at dealerships a few months after that.

Frontier trained Green Berets on design thinking and systems analysis techniques before a recent deployment to Sub-Saharan Africa. The four-day course was co-taught with Motive International and conducted May 8-11th, 2017 at Fort Bragg, NC. Frontier’s CEO Alexa Courtney introduced the training audience to the mindsets of design and systems. She facilitated a systems mapping sprint to frame the complex dynamics and patterns of conflict driving instability in an African country. Using the tools of design thinking such as empathy interviews and persona development, participants then interviewed foreign nationals from that country to elicit their perspectives on drivers of instability. At the conclusion of the course, teams had completed a rapid conflict assessment, applied design thinking tools to partner interviews, practiced building personas of critical stakeholders in the conflict, and developed a provisional systems map visualizing key patterns of conflict and resilience in the country.
Ninety four percent of students rated the course “Excellent” or “Good” overall. And, nearly all students indicated in their final evaluations that the course considerably enhanced their strategic thinking ability and was highly relevant to their mission set. One participant noted “this course provided serious improvements in paradigm shift and planning efficiencies. It should be instituted in the PME [Professional Military Education] pipeline for SOF Operators mid career.” [/av_textblock]
