Performance & Capability
Under the hood, the 2012 Nissan Frontier SV is powered by a VQ 4L V-6 DOHC engine with variable valve control that generates 261HP. Matched to a smooth 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, this truck delivers an EPA-estimated 14 MPG in the city and 19 MPG on the highway. Power is routed through a part-time four-wheel-drive system featuring an electronic transfer case shift and auto-locking hubs, allowing you to transition between drive modes effortlessly when road conditions change.
Underneath, the chassis is engineered for durability with an independent double-wishbone front suspension, rigid axle rear leaf springs, gas-pressurized shock absorbers, and a 3.357 axle ratio. Essential mechanical protection includes a dedicated transmission oil cooler, an aluminum engine block, and fully galvanized steel body panels with side impact beams. Standard performance controls such as hill start assist, hill descent control, all-speed ABS and driveline traction control, and electronic stability control keep the vehicle composed over uneven surfaces. Up front, a factory front tow hook provides additional utility, while 16 x 7-inch painted aluminum wheels wrapped in P265/70TR16 AS OWL tires ensure solid contact with the road.
Technology & Connectivity
Inside the cab, the Frontier SV focuses on clean functionality and intuitive operation. The center dash features a single-disc CD player paired with a 6-speaker audio system, AM/FM/satellite prep, and the Radio Data System to keep you connected to your favorite broadcasts. Instrumentation is clearly laid out with an analog display that includes a tachometer, oil pressure gauge, voltmeter, engine temperature gauge, digital clock, and trip odometer, giving you immediate feedback on vital system metrics.
Convenience features throughout the cabin enhance every drive. Cruise control with steering-wheel-mounted controls lets you set your pace comfortably on longer stretches. Power first-row and second-row windows, power door locks with two-stage unlocking, keyfob keyless entry, power side mirrors, and retained accessory power add everyday ease. Storage options include an illuminated locking glove box, a covered floor console, and front and rear door bins.
