Frontier was finally revamped to be a model for 2022 after a long time. It’s an important market player and sales figures have risen significantly as well. However, it seems like the Japanese manufacturer is looking to expand it. It seems like Nissan engineering is currently working on a new product that could transform the pickup industry. According to reports, Nissan is working on 2025’s Nissan Frontier Electric.
As of now, this all-electric Frontier is merely speculation. The company has presented the latest Surf-Out concept, but it’s not clear in what class the Japanese manufacturer is planning to place the pickup. Many sources suggest we might get an all-electric full-size model which is logical considering that competitors are making similar suggestions. Others suggest a small unibody pickup that could be competing in the segment that was recently created by Maverick as well as Santa Cruz. In the end, we might think of something similar to an electric Frontier.
2025 Nissan Frontier Electric Review
Nissan certainly has large plans for the electrification of their pickup line-up. Nissan recently unveiled an idea called the Surf-Out idea, which showcases Nissan’s vision for the electric pickup that is completely electric. There are currently a variety of opinions about serial production. According to some sources, this model will be a preview for 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 should go with something more realistic in the beginning. For instance, the Frontier has been popular for some time and the nameplate’s familiarity could be an excellent start to the next phase of electrification. Therefore, we believe there are a few possibilities may be one of which involves an all-electric system in the 2025 Nissan Frontier Electric. In this scenario, the all-electric pickup would be built around a familiar platform and have a familiar appearance, which is pretty much exactly what Ford did with its F-150.
In this case, the overall design would not be altered, and the majority of the design elements will be shared with the V6 model, but we’d leave the possibility of exclusive details regarding the various grilles and lighting groups, etc.
Interior
If we consider a scenario of 2025 Nissan Frontier Electric scenario, we would expect that there won’t be any major changes in terms of the design of the interiors. Instead, we’d expect to have the same layout for the cabin and dashboard, however, probably with a bit different instrument clusters, which are that is adapted to the all-electric configuration.
It’s not yet clear which location the batteries would be placed, whether under the floor or on top of something else. So, it’s difficult to know if the interior space will be restricted or not. We also believe it’s likely that an all-electric Frontier will be available in the Crew Cab layout only.
Powertrain
It’s no surprise that this will be the most intriguing part of the 2025 Nissan Frontier Electric. As of now, it’s too early to know the details, however, it could be a reference to the brand-new Ariya vehicle, for instance. It comes with two battery capacities between 63 and 87 kWh. It’s available with single-electric and dual-electric motors however we believe that the Frontier is available with only a dual-motor configuration. With this setup, the crossover from Nissan produces 389 horsepower. This is sufficient for an all-electric Frontier.
However, there is no doubt that the current Frontier will come with a 3.8-liter V6 engine that puts out 310 horsepower. It’s with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
2025 Nissan Frontier Electric Release Date & Price
The 2025 Nissan Frontier Electric may be still an unconfirmed rumor, however, we believe it will be available in 2024. The price of the initial model will be substantially higher in comparison to the gasoline-powered model which retails at 30.000 dollars.
