How different is the 2025 Nissan Frontier from the 2024 truck? Thanks to a refresh for 2025, the latest version of this popular midsize truck delivers a long list of new features, options, and sporty styling (including a new paint color, Afterburn Orange).
Key Takeaways
- The 2025 Frontier lineup drops last year’s Hardbody Edition, but otherwise remains the same, featuring the S, SV, Pro-X/Pro-4x, and SL trim models!
- Both are high performers, thanks to their 310-horsepower V6 engine.
- For 2025, shoppers enjoy an upgraded tech lineup, with features that include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and a newly available 360-degree exterior camera!
- The new and improved Frontier (starting at $32,050) is slightly more expensive than last year’s truck (with its MSRP of $30,510).
What are the 2025 Frontier Trim Models & Configuration Options?
For 2025, the Frontier has one less trim model, dropping the Hardbody Edition from its lineup. Just like last year, though, you can choose from the base S, tech-savvy SV, upscale SL, and off-road-ready Pro-X and Pro-4X trims.
Just like last year, the Frontier offers two cabin options: the two-door extended King Cab and four-door crew cab. The King Cab is coupled with a 6-foot bed, but the crew cab is available with either a 5- or 6-foot bed. However, unlike last year, the 2025 Frontier SV trim is now available with the crew cabin and both its bed options.
There are also a few changes to the features lineup for 2025. This new truck comes standard with a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, helping you get perfectly situated. And the SV, PRO, and SL trim models now come standard with two-way power lumbar adjustments for the driver’s seat, taking your comfort level up another few notches.
Sporty Performance
Although both trucks sport the same powerful V6 engine, the updated 2025 Frontier is actually the more muscular option. Properly equipped, the new truck can tow 7,150 pounds, up from last year’s max rating of 6,720 pounds. If you’re shopping for the midsize pickup that can tow the biggest boat, you’re going to love the latest Frontier model year!

Modern Technology
The new 2025 Frontier gets a major tech overhaul! Smartphone addicts will be pleased to discover that wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity is now standard on every trim model. Plus, each Frontier includes a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. The newly available 360-degree camera (a.k.a. the Intelligent Around View Monitor with Enhanced Off-Road View) now works at higher speeds to give you better support during your off-road excursions!
The 2024 Frontier comes standard with smartphone-friendly Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity (the wired kind) and an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen (a 9-inch version is standard for the Pro-X and Pro-4X trucks). Wireless Apple CarPlay is standard for the Pro-X/Pro-4X. And just like the newer truck, last year’s model offers tech upgrades like built-in navigation and a premium Fender sound system.
What is the MSRP for the Nissan Frontier?
Even with all of its incredible upgrades, the 2025 Nissan Frontier (from $32,050) is only a little more expensive than the outgoing 2024 truck (starting at $30,510). Then again, if you’re shopping for the best deal, now is a great time to find out whether your local Nissan dealership is slashing prices on last year’s truck to make way for the updated model!
