All 2020 Frontier models will feature an all-new, 3.8L V-6 engine and 9-speed transmission, which were developed for U.S. customers and will be key elements of the all-new, next-generation Frontier.

The 2020 Frontier offers best-in-class 310 horsepower, according to the automaker, an increase of 49 horsepower over the previous V-6, while also providing improved fuel economy and emissions performance. The new 9-speed automatic is similar to the one introduced on the 2020 TITAN and is designed to maximize powertrain efficiency and provide enhanced acceleration feel.

The 2020 Frontier offers a number of other upgrades for the new model-year, including standard push button start. In addition, several features are now standard for all grades: leather shift knob, manual tilt steering, power door locks, and power windows with driver side auto-down.

With improved power and performance, new standard equipment and better fuel economy than the previous model-year trims with V-6 engines and automatic transmissions, the 2020 Frontier carries an average price increase of under $2,000.

Two previous option packages have been added to 2020 Frontier Crew Cab SV grades at no additional charge. The Midnight Edition includes special black exterior treatments and 18-inch gloss black aluminum-alloy wheels, while the Special Edition Package features trip computer, Satin Chrome grille, body-color rear bumper, and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.
