2021 Nissan Frontier/Navara spied ahead of premiere

The latest spy shots depict what looks suspiciously like a refreshed production version of the Nissan Navara pickup, also known as the Frontier on some markets. Care to get a closer look?

Based on the pics available, the model gets LED headlights, new bumpers and tonneau cover, a downsized radiator grille and a model name plaque on the hood.

An off-road-friendly version of the pickup should become available simultaneously with the main version, bringing along a mild suspension lift, a bull bar and a plastic body kit to replace all chrome details with.

In the United States, the next Frontier/Navara will ship with a 3.8-liter V6 mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Other markets are expected to get a turbo diesel rated at 190 hp (142 kW) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque.

The premiere should take place before the end of the current year.
