Nissan Refreshes And Adds Midnight Edition To Its 2023 Frontier Pickup Truck

Since its introduction last year, the latest Frontier hasn’t had any serious changes until now as the Japanese automaker has just launched a new Midnight Edtion trim to join the rest of the lineup. In addition, there’s also a price increase as base models now cost $29,190.

As with other Midnight Edition models, the Frontier variant is set apart by its additional black trim. The wheels, mirrors, grille, lower bumper trim and badging are all painted in gloss black. The interior is also all black. Adding a bright spot to the darkness are some LED fog lights and 17-inch black alloy wheels. The package is only available for the SV Crew Cab versions of the Frontier.

Elsewhere, the Frontier SV Crew Cab Long Wheelbase model for 2023 is now available with the SV Convenience Package as standard that includes a heated leather steering wheel, heated front seats, spray-in bed liner, Utili-track System with adjustable tie-down cleats, under-rail bed lighting, and more. The Frontier Pro-X and Pro-4X also add wireless Apple CarPlay and models with the Pro Premium package adopt Lava Red stitching.

Nissan’s off-road focused Pro-X and Pro-4X now get wireless Apple CarPlay for 2023, and the Pro Premium package now has Lava Red stitching instead of black stitching. A note on bed sizes: The Frontier King Cab has a 6-foot bed, while the Frontier Crew Cab S and Pro models have a 5-foot bed. The Crew Cab SV is still offered with your pick of the two.

The Frontier is exclusively offered with a 3.8-litre V6 engine which is connected to a nine-speed automatic based on the Mercedes-Benz 9G-Tronic. The direct-injected lump is rated at 310 horsepower and 281 pound-foot (381 Nm) of torque.
