Nissan premieres all-new Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid pickup at Auto Shanghai 2025
24 April 2025
Nissan debuted the all-new Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid pickup truck at Auto Shanghai 2025. Alongside the Dongfeng Nissan N7, the all-new pickup represents the second of nine New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) Nissan plans to launch in China by summer 2027.
When it goes on sale in China later this year, the all-new Frontier Pro will be Nissan’s first plug-in Hybrid as well as its first electrified pickup truck. It pairs Nissan’s decades-long pickup truck legacy and learnings with the latest powertrain technology from the world’s leading NEV market, China.
The five-seat, dual-purpose pickup has been designed for families who seek a vehicle that can comfortably and efficiently support their daily urban driving as well as weekend adventures beyond the city limits.
The plug-in hybrid powertrain features a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder internal combustion engine and a transmission-mounted, high-output electric motor.
Combined, the system delivers more than 300 kW of power and up to 800 N·m of torque, offering a balance of performance and efficiency. For the China domestic market, the Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid is targeted to deliver up to 135 km (84 miles) of EV-only range.
The all-new Nissan Frontier Pro Chassis with compact internal combustion engine, battery and transmission.
All models 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. Four drive modes: ‘Hybrid, Pure electric, Performance and Snow’ allow the driver to tailor their experience to the conditions and their preferences.
Owners can charge household devices using a Vehicle-to-load (V2L) port, which leverages the plug-in hybrid battery to supply up to 6kW of power.
Co-developed with Zhengzhou Nissan (ZNA), the all-new Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid will be produced and go on sale in China before the end of this year. It will also be exported outside of China with the recipient markets to be the subject of a future announcement.
