The more traditional exterior of the Canyon stands out against the more modern look of the Frontier. Under the hood, the Canyon and the Frontier both offer a 2.5-liter I-4 engine, however, the horsepower differences between the two engines makes a difference in how they drive. Quicker and more powerful, the Canyon is a pickup that is more fun to drive and get better fuel economy without sacrificing power. When it comes to choosing the truck that can do the most, the Canyon outshines the Frontier in more ways than one.
Looking to the interior, both of these smaller trucks leave less room for you to spread out, but they offer a number of high-tech convenience features for an affordable price. Standard technology inside the Canyon include a first-row LCD screen and a 6-speaker audio system. The Frontier doesn't offer an LCD screen and only comes with a four-speaker audio system. On top of that, the Canyon comes prepared to handle dirty jobs with easy to clean vinyl seating. All in all, for the money, the Canyon delivers more power and additional convenience.
