2027 Nissan Frontier: What's New, Trims, Specs & Features
The 2027 Nissan Frontier gains a new Sport Edition package for the SV grade, adding all-terrain tires, blacked-out styling, and yellow-stitched upholstery. The 310-hp V6 and 7,150-lb tow rating carry over, but this year brings more ways to leave pavement from the showroom floor. This page covers every change, all six trims, and links to current Frontier inventory at Nissan of Lewisville in Lewisville, TX.
What's New for 2027
The headline addition is the Sport Edition package for the SV grade, available in both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations. It brings 17-inch off-road-styled alloy wheels wrapped in 265/70R17 Hankook Dynapro all-terrain tires, an aluminum skid plate, LED fog lights, and front accent lighting. The visual theme mirrors the PRO-X and PRO-4X grades, with a black lower front fascia, black grille, black mirror caps, and "Sport" bedside and tailgate badges. Inside, a durable black upholstery scheme adds high-contrast yellow accent stitching.
Additional changes for 2027:
- Alpine Metallic joins the exterior color lineup as a new option.
- The PRO Convenience package upgrades to a Qi2 wireless charger, which uses magnets to position phones correctly and integrates a fan to reduce heat buildup during charging.
- The Moonroof package is now available as a standalone option on PRO-X and PRO-4X grades when paired with the Convenience Package, giving buyers more flexibility.
- An All-Terrain Tires package is now offered separately on the SV grade, so buyers who want capable rubber without the full Sport Edition can add it directly at the dealership.
- The Dark Armor package continues for SV grade with gloss black exterior and interior trim accents, and the PRO-4X R package continues with Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme all-terrain tires and titanium-finished grille and skid plate accents.

Who It's For / vs. the Prior Year
Buyers who wanted PRO-X-style capability and aesthetics without the PRO-X price now have a clear path: the SV with the Sport Edition package. It delivers all-terrain tires, blacked-out trim, and a track-ready interior look while staying in the SV price band.
The Qi2 wireless charger upgrade is a genuine usability improvement over the prior year's standard wireless pad. Faster charging and active cooling address a real pain point for truck drivers who use their phones for navigation on long hauls or trail runs.
The PRO-4X R package and Dark Armor package carry over from the previous model year, keeping personalization options broad. If you drove a 2026 Frontier and found the tire options limiting on the SV grade, 2027 resolves that with the standalone All-Terrain Tires Package.
Buyers near Lewisville who want a midsize truck that handles daily driving, weekend towing, and light trail work without choosing between them will find the 2027 Frontier lineup well-suited to that mix.
