Nissan's China-built Frontier Pro PHEV pickup goes global

Nissan will export its China-built Frontier Pro (Navara Pro) plug-in hybrid pickup: Mexico this month, other Latin American markets later in 2026, and Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and the Middle East in 2027. Developed by Zhengzhou Nissan, its Dongfeng joint venture, the truck pairs a 1.5-liter turbo engine with a transmission-mounted electric motor for 402 hp and a 33-kWh battery.

• Powertrain makes 402 hp with a 33-kWh battery
• Mexico launch this month, Australia in 2027
• Built in China by Zhengzhou Nissan, Nissan's Dongfeng JV
• Unlikely for the U.S. due to tariffs and Chinese-car ban
