Frontier was finally updated in 2022, after many years. It’s an important competitor in the market as sales have increased significantly, too. However, it seems like the Japanese manufacturer wants to do more. It appears that Nissan is working with engineers on something brand new which could alter the pickup market. It is believed that Nissan is currently working on 2025’s Nissan Frontier Electric.
At the moment at this point, an all-electric Frontier is merely speculation. The company did unveil the latest Surf-Out concept, however, it is not clear in what class the Japanese company is looking to position this model. Many sources suggest we might get an all-electric full-size model which is logical considering that competitors are making similar suggestions.
Some suggest a smaller, unibody pickup, that would be able to compete in the new segment created that is being dominated by Maverick along with Santa Cruz. In the end, we might consider something in between, like an electric Frontier.
2025 Nissan Frontier Electric Redesign
Nissan certainly has huge plans when it comes to the electrification of their pickup line-up. Nissan has recently introduced its Surf-Out idea, which showcases Nissan’s vision for the electric pickup that is completely electric. There are currently a variety of opinions about production in serial form. According to some sources, this model is a preview of Titan’s electric successor. Some suggest that this is a unibody-sized pickup that could be a contender to models such as Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz.
However, we think that the company can go with something more realistic in the beginning. In particular, the Frontier has been popular for some time and the brand name can only be an excellent start for the process of electrification. We believe there are a few possibilities might be that involve an all-electric system together with the 2025 Nissan Frontier Electric. In this scenario, the all-electric pickup would be built on a well-known platform and would have a similar style, which is exactly what Ford has done with the F-150.
In that scenario, the overall design of the car would not be altered, and the majority of the styling will be similar to the model powered by V6. However, we’d still have space for exclusive features regarding the different grilles lights, groups of lighting, etc.
Interior
If we look at a scenario of 2025 Nissan Frontier Electric scenario, we can assume that there won’t be any major changes in terms of the design of the interiors. We would instead expect to have the same layout for the cabin that includes the same dashboard, however, probably with some differences in the instrument clusters, which are that is adapted to the all-electric configuration.
It’s not clear which location the batteries would be placed, either under the floor or somewhere else. So, it’s difficult to determine if the interior space will be affected or not. We also believe it’s likely that an all-electric Frontier is available in the Crew Cab layout only.
Powertrain
It’s no surprise that this will be the most exciting aspect of 2025’s Nissan Frontier Electric. It’s too early to know the details, however, we can think of the brand new Ariya model, to give an instance. The model comes in two battery capacities either 63 or 87 kWh. It’s available with single – and dual-electric motors however we believe that the Frontier is available with the dual-motor configuration only. In this configuration, the crossover from Nissan produces 389 horsepower, which is adequate for an all-electric Frontier.
However, we are confident that the current Frontier will come with the 3.8-liter V6, which pumps out 310 horses and is equipped with a 9-speed auto transmission.
2025 Nissan Frontier Electric Release Date and Price
The 2025 Nissan Frontier Electric may be still only a rumor. we believe it will come out in 2024. It’s no doubt that the initial cost will be significantly more when compared to the gasoline-powered model which costs approximately 30.000 dollars.
