To keep up with the competition, Nissan has made some changes to its flagship full-size truck. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2020 Titan.

What’s new for the 2020 Nissan Titan?

Nissan worked hard at redesigning the Titan for 2020. According to MotorTrend, some of the biggest changes will be under the hood. The 2020 Titan comes with an updated 5.6 liter, eight-cylinder engine with 400 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. The full-size automatic transmission got much-needed updates; it will have better acceleration with a nine-speed transmission as well as shorter gear ratio. 

An eight-inch touchscreen is now standard with the Titan, along with NissanConnect infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This means over-the-air software updates will come standard, too. According to Top Speed, LED taillights will come standard on the Titan. For the first time, you’ll have the choice of a panoramic moonroof on higher trims.

Another addition to the 2020 Titan’s standard features is Nissan‘s Safety Shield 360. This system includes automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning, high beam assist, blind-spot monitoring, and lane departure warning. Nissan wants to guarantee the Titan’s reliability and durability with a new five-year/100,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.

According to the Road Show by CNET, you’ll find big differences in the Titan’s exterior. With a new Powerful Warrior design, you’ll get the choice between three different grilles and impressive accents all around.
