The figures, translated
The 2.5L 4-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Plan on about 34 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.3 L/100 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $17.52 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
Being a pickup truck, it trades parking ease for a cargo bed.
Best uses
It suits moving day, renovation runs and anything that needs an open bed. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Rent it for a week first
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A test week in the Frontier tells you more than any review.
What it costs to run
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Ready when you are
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2016 Nissan Frontier from us first.
