In terms of fuel economy, the Nissan offers a claimed 18 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway on the rear-drive models. Meanwhile, the hybridized Toyota is supposed to offer up to 22 MPG city and 24 MPG on the highway. Going 4x4 with the Frontier brings those numbers down to 17 city and 22 on the highway.
