Nissan has released the first teasers of the 2020
Titan ahead of its debut on September 26 at the State Fair of Texas. The automaker is keeping details
under wraps, but said the facelifted model will feature a “bold design” and be
launched early next year. Nissan also confirmed the 2020 Titan PRO-4X will have
a unique badge with lava red accents.
That isn’t much to go on, but the teaser image shows
the truck sports a revised grille that is flanked by new headlights. The latter
have integrated LED daytime running lights with a C-shaped design. There’s also
a redesigned bumper with sharper lines and angular accents, new fog lights and
more pronounced tow hooks.
Previous spy photos have shown the truck will also
have an updated rear end with a new tailgate and restyled taillights. There
could also be a modified rear bumper, but we’ll find out for sure next week. The styling changes will continue
in the cabin, as the 2020 Titan will have a new instrument cluster that features
revised dials and a larger digital display, a new center stack, a larger and
more modern infotainment system as well as updated switchgear. Rounding out the
changes are restyled air vents and revised trim.
One of the biggest changes will be the elimination
of the optional 5.0-liter Cummins V8 turbodiesel in the Titan XD. This unit put
out 310 HP and 752 Nm of torque, which enabled
the truck to tow up to 5,820 kg.
With the death of the diesel engine, the 2020 Titan
could be powered exclusively by a 5.6-liter petrol V8. It remains unclear if
the unit has been updated for 2020, but in its current form it produces 390 hp and 533 Nm.
