Nissan Frontier Recognized as “Coolest Thing Made in Mississippi”

The 2025 Nissan Frontier blends expert craftsmanship, rugged capability, and cutting-edge innovation in a way that few other pickups can match. Manufactured at Nissan’s Canton, Mississippi plant, it was honored as the “Coolest Thing Made in Mississippi” during the 2025 Mississippi Makers' Challenge, an accolade bestowed by the Mississippi Manufacturers Association (MMA). It’s clear why this midsize truck has captured so much attention—it sets a new standard for what a pickup can provide.

Here’s why the Nissan Frontier is often called “the most truck most people will ever need.”

Mississippi's Top Honor for Excellence in Manufacturing

The Mississippi Makers' Challenge highlights the best of Mississippi-made products, showcasing local manufacturing and innovation. With over 70 contenders, the 2025 Nissan Frontier claimed victory after four rounds of public voting, earning over 41% of the final vote—a testament to its quality and popularity.

The award honors the Frontier’s rugged design, power, and the dedication of the Canton-based Nissan team. Victor Taylor, VP of Manufacturing at Nissan’s Canton Plant, said, “Our pride in what we do shines through in every Frontier that rolls off the assembly line.”

The Mississippi State Capitol hosted the award ceremony, celebrating the Frontier and the manufacturing spirit driving Mississippi forward.

Built for Drivers by a Workforce That Cares

The Nissan Frontier showcases the innovation and skill of Mississippi’s workforce. Built with dedication and attention to detail, the Canton team ensures every truck is ready to perform. From its rugged design to reliable engineering, the Frontier reflects the craftsmanship of Canton.

But it’s also about the people behind it. “Our employees’ dedication is what makes the Frontier special,” says David Johnson, senior VP at Nissan Americas. With engines from Nissan’s Decherd, Tennessee plant, the Frontier highlights the excellence of U.S. manufacturing.

Why the Nissan Frontier Stands Out

The 2025 Nissan Frontier has earned its accolades due to its unmatched versatility, superior craftsmanship, and thoughtful engineering. Here’s why it stands apart in the crowded midsize truck segment.

Rugged, Timeless Design

The Frontier’s bold, modern styling pays tribute to Nissan's iconic 1980s Hardbody pickups. Updates to the grille, headlights, and bumper give it a mix of classic and contemporary appeal. It offers versatility with two cab options (Crew Cab and King Cab) and two bed lengths (five or six feet), perfect for work or play.

Power Meets Precision

Under the hood is a 3.8-liter V6 engine with 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. Unlike competitors with four-cylinder engines, the Frontier’s V6 ensures smooth acceleration and reliability. Paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, it delivers a powerful, balanced drive. Whether towing up to 7,150 pounds or tackling rough terrain, this truck handles it with ease.

Off-Road-Ready

The Frontier is ready for tough terrains. The PRO-4X model features steel skid plates, Bilstein shocks, and a two-speed transfer case for extra torque and traction off-road. Its adjustable bed tie-down system keeps your gear secure, no matter the shape.

Comfortable Yet Functional Cabin

Step into the Frontier and find a cabin built for everyday ease. Nissan’s Zero Gravity front seats reduce joint stress, ensuring comfort on long drives. Intuitive controls, large dials, and physical buttons make tasks simple—even with gloves on during cold-weather jobs. The Crew Cab’s spacious rear seats, foldable benches, and built-in cargo baskets add flexibility for passengers and gear.

Next-Level Tech

The 2025 Frontier boasts cutting-edge features like a new 12.3-inch touchscreen, offering seamless connectivity with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The updated infotainment system makes navigation and media control a breeze, bringing modern-day tech to this midsize marvel.

For those needing added safety, features like Intelligent Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, and Blind Spot Monitoring come standard, giving you peace of mind wherever the road takes you.

Customized for Your Lifestyle

From a straightforward workhorse to a premium adventure vehicle, the Frontier offers an array of trims and pricing options. With the base King Cab 4X2 starting at $32,050 and the high-end SL Crew Cab long-wheelbase 4X4 reaching up to $48,000, the Frontier provides flexible choices that suit both your budget and personal preferences.

More Than a Truck – A Symbol of Mississippi's Craftsmanship

The 2025 Nissan Frontier isn’t just the “Coolest Thing Made in Mississippi”—it’s a rolling ambassador for the state’s manufacturing excellence. Built with passion and precision by the community in Canton, this truck exemplifies everything great about Mississippi's industrial heart.

Whether you’re a Nissan loyalist, a truck enthusiast, or someone who simply appreciates top-notch craftsmanship, the Frontier proves that world-class vehicles can be born from the heart of the Magnolia State.

2025 Nissan Ariya: Powerful Crossover & 2025 Best Pre-Owned EV

As the EV market evolves, the 2025 Nissan Ariya sets a new standard for innovation, showing that Nissan continues to lead the way. Following the success of the Nissan Leaf, this elegant electric crossover offers powerful performance and sophisticated technology. What's more, the Ariya was honored as Recurrent's Best Pre-Owned EV of 2025, underscoring its outstanding reliability and value.

What Sets the 2025 Nissan Ariya Apart?

Japanese-Inspired Design

The 2025 Nissan Ariya stands out with its minimalist Japanese design. Clean, simple lines dominate the exterior, highlighted by Nissan's "horizon line" wrapping around the body. A modern take on the traditional kumiko woodworking pattern cleverly houses sensors on the front panel, proving that technology doesn’t have to be cold, gray, and soulless.

Inside, the futuristic cabin features haptic controls embedded in the wood-paneled dashboard, replacing traditional buttons. Combined with Nissan’s zero-gravity seats and smart tech, the interior offers both comfort and elegance.

Performance Meets Versatility

The Ariya is a joy to drive and easy on the eyes. Choose between front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) to suit your needs. FWD models offer up to 330 miles of range with the larger battery, while AWD adds e-4ORCE torque vectoring for better stability and sportier handling.

Practical Range & Charging Options

Available with 63kWh or 87kWh batteries, the Ariya offers impressive EPA-estimated ranges, rivaling EVs like the Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E. Charging is easy with Nissan’s CCS connector and Tesla Supercharger compatibility via a NACS adapter, perfect for road trips.

Technology That Delivers

Tech-savvy drivers will love the dual 12.3-inch displays, standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless phone charging (new for 2025). For those looking for semi-autonomous capabilities, the ProPilot 2.0 system offers hands-free driving in certain conditions, adding convenience to your commute.

Named Recurrent’s Best Pre-Owned EV of 2025

Thinking about an EV but unsure about pre-owned options? Check out the Nissan Ariya. Named Best Pre-Owned EV of 2025 by Recurrent, it stands out for its affordability, range reliability, and value retention.

The Ariya’s battery retains 83% of its range even in freezing temperatures and comes with an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for added peace of mind. Built for tough conditions, it performs well in any climate. Plus, its competitive pricing makes it an accessible option without compromising on features.

This recognition showcases Nissan’s continued commitment to durable, reliable, and value-packed EVs like the Ariya.

Why the 2025 Ariya is Ideal for Today’s Drivers

The EV market is saturated with options, but the 2025 Nissan Ariya strikes a chord for individuals who value style, comfort, and reliability without paying luxury nameplate prices. Compared to rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and VW ID.4, the Ariya blends design and practicality in a way that stands out.

With a starting price of $41,160, the Ariya is priced competitively, though higher trims like the Platinum+ inch closer to luxury options. But for that price, you’re getting a well-rounded package—from its sleek Japanese aesthetics to its solid range and thoughtful features (hello, modular cargo storage system!).

Experience the Nissan Ariya Today!

The 2025 Nissan Ariya succeeds in melding form with function and technology with style. Its continuous evolution has made it a contender worth considering, whether you're buying new or exploring the pre-owned market. And with accolades like Recurrent’s Best Pre-Owned EV of 2025, it’s clear the Ariya isn’t just a passing trend but a reliable, standout choice in the EV world.

“Our Future is EV” Nissan’s Future Sparks Excitement and Questions

While other Japanese manufacturers side with internal combustion engines, Nissan has committed to reducing carbon emissions and ensuring the future of our planet through EVs. What could this mean for car repairs in the future? Join us as we examine Nissan's exciting announcement and what it could mean for ICEs.

Nissan’s Commitment to Electric

Confirmed by Nissan’s VP for Africa, Middle East, India, Europe, and Oceania regions, Nissan is reaffirming that electric is the way forward. Nissan put forward their plans toward revolutionizing more efficient electric vehicle batteries with stunning amounts of range last month, showing that the future is electric, and Nissan intends to lead the field.

While Nissan isn’t planning on developing new internal combustion engines (ICE) for the markets mentioned above, they do plan to develop the technologies of their new e-Power hybrid systems as a “stepping stone” to full electrification. This is likely due to the continuous development of charging infrastructure around the world. Many countries continue to catch up, but other markets have led the world in electric infrastructure updates.

These announcements may not come into effect immediately in the United States and other Western markets as there is still developing electric infrastructure, but Nissan’s efforts towards electrification worldwide seem to hint that this strategy will be coming to all markets sooner or later.

What This Means for Internal Combustion Engines

Nissan isn’t going to stop selling traditional gas and diesel ICE by any means. This news only means that there won’t be any new developments in improving traditional combustion engines. Nissan will likely continue to invest in more efficient hybrid and plug-in powertrains, with electric leading the focus of their research and development efforts. Nissan hasn’t confirmed when it will phase out combustion engines altogether, but they did say that it will depend on regulations and market demand from region to region. This could spell out a shakeup for collision centers and mechanics throughout the country. Working on an EV and an ICE vehicle are very different processes, from engineering to costs. Finding a knowledgeable repair center could become more difficult as ICE engines are phased out. It only takes one auto manufacturer setting a trend in fuel types and powertrains to change what your everyday shop needs to know.

At Bush Collision Center, we offer service, auto body repair, and detailing that you can trust whether you have an ICE or an EV. Looking for a new vehicle? Visit our affiliates at INFINITI of West Chester, Nissan 422 of Limerick, or Bush Nissan of Exton to view all available stock of brand-new and pre-owned Nissan cars that Bush Auto Group in West Chester can offer.

The Best Nissans to Buy Your 2024 Graduate

As quickly as you can say "They grow up so fast," graduation season is here once again in Chester County. Whether your loved one is graduating high school or college, it’s a time for both emotional farewells and exciting beginnings. But to reach their next chapter, the graduate in your life will need a trustworthy vehicle. Thankfully, that's where Nissan steps in.

If you’re looking to gift your graduate with a new car, truck or SUV, there are several important factors to consider: fuel economy, storage space, technology features, and of course safety should lead your list of priorities. Whether your grad is preparing for their first semester at West Chester University or setting off on post-graduate adventures, you’ll want to do everything in your power to prepare them for what lies ahead.

To ensure maximum peace of mind, consider gifting them a Nissan Sentra, a Kelley Blue Book-approved vehicle. If the Sentra isn’t for you, Nissan provides a plethora of affordable and practical options for teens and new drivers. Explore the all-electric Nissan Leaf, or the spacious Nissan Rogue. You’ll find them in stock throughout the Bush Auto Group family of dealerships.

And once you find the right vehicle to get your graduate on the road, the Bush Collision Center will do its part to keep them there.

Top Pick: The 2024 Nissan Sentra 

Whether your graduate recently received their diploma from Ursinus College or is just preparing to set off for their first fall semester at Temple, the reliable 2024 Nissan Sentra compact sedan is here to keep the family connected with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. By combining sporty styling and practicality, the Sentra is ideal for campuses; its fuel economy is 34 mpg combined, keeping trips to the pump minimal. Plus, classmates in need of a lift will appreciate its comfortable “zero gravity” seats.

If safety is your chief concern, the Sentra was practically designed to assuage your fears. No fewer than 10 airbags line the cabin, and every version of the 2024 Nissan Sentra comes with SafetyShield 360. This comprehensive suite of driver assistance safety features includes:

  • Automatic emergency braking w/ pedestrian detection 
  • Rear cross-traffic alert 
  • Rear automatic braking 
  • Blind-spot warning 
  • Lane-departure warning 
  • High-beam assist 

Other Nissan Vehicles to Consider: 

2024 Nissan Leaf 

Go green this semester with Nissan’s original all-electric vehicle. With a starting price under $40,000, it won't break your budget unlike some EVs. With an EPA-estimated range of 123/99 mpg, a zero-emission drive train, and minimal maintenance costs, the Leaf was designed for the environmentally conscious student who still needs a practical way to navigate campus. Furthermore, the Leaf is the recipient of an NHTSA five-star safety rating.

2024 Nissan Rogue 

Another vehicle boasting a five-star safety rating from NHTSA, the 2024 Nissan Rogue is perfect for the student looking to transport their entire wardrobe to campus. With ample storage space, this crossover SUV provides a powerful means of exploring all that campus life has to offer.

2024 Nissan Kicks 

Don’t be thrown by the 2024 Nissan Kicks’ quirky design: this subcompact SUV still provides plenty of space to haul your graduates’ belongings. With a low starting price point, a practical fuel economy, and a comfortable interior, the Kicks is a can’t-miss package for any young driver.

The Tassel was Worth the Hassle 

Turn your tassels. Toss your caps. Get that terrible Vitamin C song out of your system. Only then can you begin your post-graduate car buying experience with the Bush Auto Group. 

If you're happy with your vehicle but safety concerns persist, the Bush Collision Center is here to help. We offer a multitude of collision-based services, including:

  • Detailing
  • Glass repair & replacement 
  • Refinishing
  • Towing
  • Paintless dent repair
