MSRP Breakdown: How Much Does the 2027 Frontier Cost?
Nissan has released full U.S. pricing for the 2027 Frontier mid-size pickup, and the lineup now includes a new Sport Edition package that buyers can add to select trims. The 2027 Frontier starts at an MSRP of $32,490 for the S King Cab 4x2 with the six-foot bed. That base figure excludes destination and handling, taxes, title, license and optional equipment.

Key prices at a glance
- S King Cab 4x2 (6-foot bed): $32,490
- S King Cab 4x4 (6-foot bed): $35,490
- S Crew Cab 4x2 (5-foot bed): $33,890
- Top trim PRO-4X Crew Cab 4x4: $42,190 (5-foot) / $42,690 (6-foot)
- Sport Edition package: additional $990 on SV trims
- Destination charge (all models): $1,745
There are only two King Cab versions, while the Crew Cab range expands to nine configurations, giving buyers plenty of choices between beds, drivetrains and trim levels.

What the Sport Edition brings
Unveiled in May 2026, the Sport Edition isn’t a separate trim so much as a styling and capability package aimed at buyers who want a slightly more rugged appearance and modest off-road readiness without stepping up to PRO-4X. Priced at $990 when added to the SV, Nissan says the Sport Edition “offers Frontier buyers more ways to get the most out of their truck.”
Highlights include:
- Black lower front fascia, grille and mirrors
- Sport badging and black interior with yellow accent stitching
- 17-inch black off-road-style wheels with 265/70R17 Hankook Dynapro all-terrain tires
- Aluminum skid plate, LED fog lights and front accent lighting

Updates for 2027 model year
Beyond the Sport Edition, Nissan applied a few practical updates for 2027. The PRO-X and PRO-4X trims can now be optioned with a Moonroof package bundled with the Convenience package. A new Alpine Metallic paint option has been added, and the PRO Convenience package now includes an upgraded wireless charging pad that uses the Qi2 standard for faster, more consistent charging.
Performance and assembly
Under the hood the Frontier continues to rely on its proven 3.8-liter V6 gasoline engine, a powerplant built at Nissan’s Decherd Powertrain Assembly Plant in Tennessee. Final assembly of the midsize truck takes place at Nissan’s Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant in Mississippi. The V6 delivers the balance of low-end torque and towing capability that many midsize truck buyers prioritize over smaller turbo options.

Where the Frontier fits in the market
The Frontier remains Nissan’s rugged, body-on-frame contender in a competitive mid-size pickup segment that includes the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger and Chevrolet Colorado. With this pricing and the addition of the Sport Edition, Nissan is aiming to attract buyers who want a capable daily driver with trail-ready looks without jumping to the higher-cost off-road trims.
For shoppers, the takeaway is straightforward: the 2027 Frontier starts competitively, and for under $1,000 extra on SV models you get distinct styling and off-road-oriented hardware. Expect the refreshed line to appear at dealers by the end of the month.
"The Sport Edition offers Frontier buyers more ways to get the most out of their truck," Nissan says, positioning the package as an affordable way to add attitude and utility.
