Nissan Frontier Pro PHEV: The Electrified Pickup Set to Shake Up the UAE—Hybrid Muscle, Tech Swag, and Adventure in One Truck

Pickups are no longer just for construction or rough country work—and with the debut of the Nissan Frontier Pro plug-in hybrid (PHEV), the whole midsize truck game is entering a new era. After its launch in China, Gulf buyers eagerly await the arrival of one of Nissan’s most advanced trucks ever produced, blending off-road brawn with electrified tech and comfort features that speak directly to UAE customers and outdoor adventurers alike.

Exterior Design & Visual Appeal

• Rugged Tech styling: a bold, futuristic look highlighted by aggressive T-shaped LED headlights connected to a wide, illuminated Nissan grille, thick bumpers, and muscular lines.

• Full-width light bar on the PHEV version for extra “space capsule” drama.

• 18-inch alloy wheels with 265/65R18 tires, chunky wheel arches, and all-terrain readiness—perfect for both city play and wadis.

• Around back, twin-level tailgate steps and LED T-shaped lamps mean loading cargo for camping or desert trips is easier than ever.

Dimensions, Cargo & Chassis Standouts

• Massive for its segment: 5,520 mm length, 1,960 mm width, 1,950 mm height, and a 3,300 mm wheelbase—larger than both the Toyota Hilux and Mitsubishi Triton, with serious presence.​

• Bed is 1,520 mm long—roomy enough for job-site tools, family luggage, or that next dune bash.

• Rear multi-link suspension fine-tuned for Gulf rides: soaking up rough patches while keeping the truck planted on tarmac or the sand.

Interior Comfort, Technology & Premium Smart Touches

• Floating infotainment touchscreen (12.8" or 14.6" depending on trim) paired with a digital gauge cluster—tech-forward but with real buttons for essential functions (good for dirty hands).

• Premium cabin with Nappa leather seats, massage and ventilated functions, panoramic roof, and ambient lighting for that plush SUV feel.

• 12-speaker premium audio system, wireless charging, advanced AC, and power outlets (V2L up to 6kW) so you can hook up electronics at a camp or worksite.​

• Storage galore and fold-flat rear seats—practical for urbanites and adventure junkies alike.

Powertrain & Performance (PHEV)

• Three engine choices: 2.0L turbo petrol (182 hp/500 Nm), 2.3L turbo diesel, and the headline-grabbing PHEV system.

• PHEV drivetrain: 1.5L turbo + electric motor delivers an astonishing 410 hp and 800 Nm torque, with 8-speed ZF automatic and intelligent 4WD as standard.

• Pure-electric driving range up to 135 km—outclasses every rival in the segment, and perfect for quiet weekday commutes around Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah.

• Capable of towing up to 3.5 tons—believed to be a leader among current competitors.​

• 13 terrain and 4 drive modes (Hybrid, EV, Performance, Snow)—tailored for GCC climate/road conditions and next-level versatility.

Safety & Smarts

• Level 2 ProPilot suite: adaptive cruise, lane keep, emergency steer assist, 540-degree cameras, blind spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alert.

• All systems tested over 100 million global road km for proven reliability in real-world scenarios.

• Includes practical extras like dual air bags, rear parking sensors, speed-sensing door locks, immobilizer, fire extinguisher and first-aid kit.

Price & Market Relevance in UAE

• In China: ranges from 176,900 to 249,900 yuan (roughly $24,800–$35,000, or AED 91,000–128,000 depending on trim and market taxes).​

• In the Gulf, a launch price between AED 90,000–130,000 is expected—undercutting many well-known rivals while delivering more features and electrified tech than almost any midsize competitor.
