Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 82.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.

• Infotainment: a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: Running with RWD, the Frontier Pro-4X averaged 18.3 mpg on our Southern California test loop, beating the EPA estimate of 18 mpg combined (although that rating likely incorporates 4WD running). The Pro-4X is slightly less efficient than other Frontier models, which are rated at 19 mpg combined with 4WD and 21 mpg combined with RWD.

Which Nissan Frontier trim should I buy?

What Nissan Frontier do most buyers choose?

The Nissan Frontier years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.
