The 2027 Nissan Frontier is arriving at US dealerships this June with a starting price of $32,490, and the standout change for the new model year is a fresh Sport Edition package that brings trail-ready style and off-road hardware to the mid-range SV grade for an extra $990. For buyers who want the rugged look of the top PRO-4X without paying top-trim money, it is one of the more interesting value plays in the mid-size pickup class right now.

The Frontier carries over its standard 3.8-liter V6 engine, assembled in Tennessee, and continues to be built in the United States at Nissan’s Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant in Mississippi. Pricing climbs through King Cab and Crew Cab body styles and a choice of 4×2 or 4×4 drivetrains, topping out with the off-road-focused PRO-4X.

What the 2027 Frontier Costs

Nissan has confirmed the full pricing ladder for the 2027 Frontier. The entry point is the King Cab with a 6-foot bed, while Crew Cab models add a second row and the choice of a 5- or 6-foot bed. All prices below exclude a destination and handling charge of $1,745, and your local dealer sets the final figure.

  • Frontier S King Cab 4×2 (6-foot bed): $32,490
  • Frontier S King Cab 4×4 (6-foot bed): $35,490
  • Frontier S Crew Cab 4×2 (5-foot bed): $33,890
  • Frontier SV Crew Cab 4×2 (5-foot bed): $36,490
  • Frontier SV Crew Cab 4×2 (6-foot bed): $36,990
  • Frontier PRO-X Crew Cab 4×2 (5-foot bed): $38,890
  • Frontier S Crew Cab 4×4 (5-foot bed): $36,890
  • Frontier SV Crew Cab 4×4 (5-foot bed): $39,790
  • Frontier SV Crew Cab 4×4 (6-foot bed): $40,290
  • Frontier PRO-4X Crew Cab 4×4 (5-foot bed): $42,190
  • Frontier PRO-4X Crew Cab 4×4 (6-foot bed): $42,690

That spread means a well-equipped four-wheel-drive Frontier can be parked in your driveway for the low $40,000s before options, with the King Cab S serving as the budget door-opener for buyers who care more about hauling and capability than rear-seat space.

The New Sport Edition Package

The headline addition for 2027 is the Sport Edition, a $990 package on the SV grade available in both 4×4 and 4×2 form. It is aimed squarely at buyers who like the attitude of the flagship PRO-4X but want to spend closer to the middle of the range. The package layers a trail-tough appearance over the already well-equipped SV, with a black lower front fascia, black grille and mirrors, and “Sport” badging on the bedside and tailgate. Inside, a durable black upholstery scheme is lifted by high-contrast yellow accent stitching.

The changes go beyond looks. Sport Edition trucks ride on black off-road-style 17-inch wheels wrapped in 265/70R17 Hankook Dynapro all-terrain tires, and they add an aluminum skid plate, LED fog lights and front accent lighting. Yellow exterior accents complete the trailhead theme. For around a thousand dollars, it is a tidy way to add genuine off-road protection and a tougher stance without stepping up to the priciest grade.

Other Updates for 2027

The Sport Edition is not the only change. The PRO-X and PRO-4X grades gain a Moonroof package paired with the Convenience package, giving buyers more flexibility to add the specific features they want rather than being forced into a larger bundle. A new Alpine Metallic paint option joins the color palette, and the wireless phone charger inside the PRO Convenience package has been upgraded to the Qi2 standard for faster, more consistent charging on the move.

Body-style choices remain familiar. The King Cab is offered on S grades only, while the Crew Cab spans S, SV, PRO-X and PRO-4X grades, each available with a 5- or 6-foot bed depending on configuration. Every Frontier still uses the same 3.8-liter V6, which Nissan says is built and tested in Tennessee for long-term durability.

How the Frontier Fits the Mid-Size Pickup Class

The Frontier plays in one of the most competitive corners of the US market, lined up against the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger and Chevrolet Colorado. Against that group, the Frontier’s pitch has long been simple value and a no-nonsense V6, and the new Sport Edition sharpens that argument by making the rugged look more affordable. A starting price of $32,490 keeps it accessible at the bottom of the range, while the loaded PRO-4X tops out under $43,000 before destination.

Nissan says the timing reflects strong demand. The company describes the Frontier as a key driver behind its position as one of America’s fastest-growing mainstream brands, with Frontier retail sales up 24 percent in May and 6,773 units sold, the model’s best May result since 2010. For shoppers, the takeaway is clear: the 2027 Frontier holds the line on its value reputation while adding a genuinely useful new way to get the off-road look and hardware without reaching for the most expensive trim.

It is worth remembering what the Frontier brings as standard. Unlike some rivals that have downsized to turbocharged four-cylinder engines, the Frontier sticks with a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter V6 across the range, a choice that appeals to buyers who value simplicity and a known quantity under the hood. Paired with available four-wheel drive and the new Sport Edition’s all-terrain tires and skid plate, the 2027 truck is set up to handle weekend trails and daily duty without forcing owners into the most expensive trim to get there.
