Nissan Frontier vs. Mazda B4000 Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Mazda B4000 to the dealership as the Frontier. With respect to MSRP, the Nissan Frontier costs significantly more than the Mazda.

Utility
The Frontier and the Mazda B4000 can accommodate the same number of passengers. There's no clear winner between the Mazda B4000 and the Nissan Frontier in terms of hauling capacity. There's little the Nissan Frontier can tow that the Mazda B4000 cannot.

Convenience
You definitely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Mazda B4000 than with the Nissan, as both offer similar ranges.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Frontier offers a bit more head room than the Mazda B4000, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Mazda make it significantly roomier for your passengers than the Nissan Frontier.

Dimensions
The Mazda B4000's tank is about the same size as the Nissan Frontier's, though the Nissan Frontier's is a little bigger. The B4000 and the Nissan compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan Frontier packs quite a wallop and will knock the Mazda B4000 down a few rungs. On the other hand, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Mazda and the Frontier definitely handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The B4000's engine is tremendously larger than the Nissan Frontier's. Note that more sizeable engines may use more gas than smaller ones. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the B4000 is significantly more powerful than the Nissan Frontier. Torque equals pickup, and the Mazda B4000 will have picked up and gone by the time the Nissan Frontier finally gets moving.

Warranty
The Mazda B4000 and the Nissan Frontier have the same basic after-sale protection.
