Overview

The Z9 is a 4-door pickup truck bigger than the North American market Nissan Frontier. The truck is expected to only be sold in China. Gasoline, diesel, and plug-in hybrid models are available.

Design

The Z9 uses a blacked out A-pillar. There are Z-shaped daytime running lights in the front and the taillights are also Z-shaped. Body cladding is present in the front and rear. There are rounded wheel arches and the model also features a grille with a hexagonal pattern. [1]

All models receive 18-inch rims and 265/65R18 tires as standard.

Powertrain

A 2 liter turbocharged inline-4 is available with 2 different power outputs. Also available is a 2.3 liter turbodiesel inline-4. [2] A plug-in hybrid version combining a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 and a motor integrated in the transmission is also available for buyers.

Nissan Frontier Pro

The Nissan Frontier Pro is a rebadged version of the Z9 PHEV model. Despite having the Frontier name it has nothing in common with the Nissan Frontier already sold in North America. It was revealed at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show. [3] It was showcased alongside the N7.

The Frontier Pro differentiates in the design from the Z9 as it uses a full-width light bar with the light bar inspired by the D21 Hardbody. The Nissan wordmark is embedded into the tailgate and serves as a taillight. [4]

The Frontier Pro will go on sale at the end of 2025. [5]
