Nissan refreshed the Frontier lineup in 2018 and added a few features to the workhorse vehicle that was on the market for nine years, keeping it up to date and competitive.

The Japanese automaker managed to compete against Ford Ranger and the Chevrolet and was based on an older chassis but with enough improvements. After all, it didn't have to change a chassis that was sturdy enough to handle the job; it just needed the power and the amenities to keep it moving.

When Nissan started to upgrade its lineup, it created a new signature on the front fascia with a V-shaped chromed detail. This design element was also shown on the 2018 Frontier. In addition, the headlights were also reshaped. Finally, in the King Cab version, the Japanese pickup sported a pair of rear-hinged half-doors in the back.

Behind the cabin, the King Cab featured one of the longest beds in its family, making it useful for those who needed a light pickup capable enough to carry an ATV or a bike.

Inside, Nissan upgraded the infotainment system and also included a backup camera. However, the cabin was still decorated with hard plastic in all areas. After all, it was a work truck. Still, Nissan offered the Frontier a decent sound system and a center console with two cup holders. In the back of the cabin, the automaker installed two jump seats, just in case someone needed a ride back home. But that area was mostly useful as storage.

Under the hood, Nissan placed its bets on two engines: a 2.5-liter inline-four and a 4.0-liter V6. A five-speed automatic was on the options list, and besides the auto mode, it also offered a manual mode.
