After her arrival in our country was announced a few months ago, I finally had the opportunity to drive her, get to know her in detail and submit her to a 4×4 route with a high degree of difficulty. In this way, Nissan carried out the launch to national media of the second generation of the Frontier.
Always attractive
For Mexico the version Frontier Pro-4X, which reaches the segment of medium-sized pickups with an orientation towards recreational activities but always with what is necessary for when it has to be used as a work tool.
Its image is enhanced by various visual elements such as the front towing hooks in orange, a tone that also covers the logo; a redesigned grille with lines that denote more strength, the decals PRO-4X as well as the 17 ”wheels in double tone.
All of them fit perfectly in the new exterior lines in which the hood, the renewed lights and wider and more muscular fenders. Among its dimensions are 5,338 millimeters long by 1,853 millimeters wide (without mirrors), and a height of 1,852 millimeters.
And to reaffirm its power, the height in relation to the floor exceeds 20 centimeters. Another functional detail of series is the protection for the box; thanks to the bedliner there is no risk of damaging the sheet or scratching the paint.
Better than ever
The update work is quickly noticeable in the cabin. The front seats in addition to having heating have the design Zero Gravity, which Nissan recently developed, and which allows them to better adapt to the physiognomy of the occupants; During the off road route this time I was able to verify not only their comfort but also that they are decisive in order not to burn out quickly from being behind the wheel for so long.
Another of its characteristics is that they are very compact, which is reflected in the fact that the backrest occupies less space available for the legs of the second-row passengers. The board, steering wheel Y panels the doors were also updated. The remote is covered in leather, has controls for audio, telephony, for applications and access to driving information as well as for safety assistance.
The cluster maintains the clarity of its typography as well as the order of the information. Between the two clocks there is a display that shows various data but that for the 4×4 is extremely useful not only for the inclinometer but also because in real time it informs in which traction mode it is, as if the differential was locked.
The center console has a 9 ”color screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB ports types A and C as well as a wireless charger that thanks to its position and angle of inclination, reduces the risk of slipping the smartphone. The second row has a 60/40 division, under it is hidden the subwoofer as well as a cargo area.
