When Nissan unveiled its long-awaited Frontier pickup in April, what we got was a top trim called Pro-4X. The latest spy shots reveal what the most basic trim looks like.

The Frontier S still wears some camo and sports a number of black plastic details on both bumpers and the radiator grille. The door handles are also black, helping to reinforce the general ‘it’s a budget car’ impression.


Looking at the suspension and the tires, we assume that this is a front-wheel drive model. This means it comes powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. The front axle receives up to 310 PS along with 381 Nm of torque.

All Frontier trucks come with an extensive safety aid package, which notably includes an advanced frontal collision warning.
