    Nissan Frontier

    EPA MPG: NA

    RECALL ALERT:
    There are 8 recalls on this vehicle. Learn More.

    Road Test

    The Frontier, with its aggressive styling and supercharged engine, tries to overcome with image what it lacks in substance. But even with supercharging, acceleration is average. Fuel economy is poor, and the Frontier requires premium fuel. Ride is awful, handling is unresponsive, and the cabin is cramped and uncomfortable.
