The 2024 Nissan Frontier, a recognized nameplate utilized by Nissan in various regions, serves as an alternative identity to the Navara and NP300 designations. In the context of North America, this nameplate held its ground from 1997 through 2021, effectively succeeding the Hardbody model. However, starting from 2021, the Frontier model available in the United States and Canada has taken on a distinct identity, separate from the globally recognized Navara/Frontier combination. This version has been thoughtfully expanded and refined to better fulfill the specific requirements of the North American market, embracing a larger and more sophisticated design approach. The 2024 Nissan Frontier remains largely unchanged.
