2027 Nissan Frontier Interior: Cabin Space, Cargo Room and Technology
The 2027 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab offers 100.1 cubic feet of total interior volume. Front passengers get 39.9 inches of headroom and 42.3 inches of legroom. Rear passengers get 38.6 inches of headroom and 33.2 inches of legroom, according to Nissan’s 2027 Frontier specifications.
The King Cab matches the Crew Cab’s 42.3 inches of front legroom and offers 39.7 inches of front headroom. Its 26.2 inches of rear legroom suits occasional passengers or protected interior storage.
Every 2027 Frontier comes with standard Zero Gravity front seats designed to help reduce fatigue on long drives. Crew Cab models provide 58.2 inches of front shoulder room and 58.3 inches in the rear. Hip room measures 54.3 inches up front and 53.7 inches in the second row.
Choosing a cab comes down to how often you carry rear passengers and how much bed length your work needs. The Crew Cab adds a full second row for regular passengers. The King Cab pairs a 6-foot bed with a weather-protected rear area for tools, gear bags or occasional riders.
Our team at Empire Nissan, at 1377 Kettering Dr in Ontario, can walk you through the Frontier’s front and rear seating. Call our sales team at (909) 740-6712 to set up a walk-around.
How Do Crew Cab and King Cab Interior Dimensions Compare?
The Crew Cab seats five, and its rear doors include power windows and door pockets. The King Cab seats four and uses rear-swinging, pillarless rear doors that open wide for larger cargo. Its two rear seats flip up out of the way for more usable space.
| Measurement | Crew Cab | King Cab |
|---|---|---|
| Seating capacity | 5 | 4 |
| Front headroom | 39.9 in (39.1 in with moonroof) | 39.7 in |
| Front legroom | 42.3 in | 42.3 in |
| Front shoulder room | 58.2 in | 58.2 in |
| Front hip room | 54.3 in | 54.3 in |
| Rear headroom | 38.6 in | 36.6 in |
| Rear legroom | 33.2 in | 26.2 in |
| Rear shoulder room | 58.3 in | 52.4 in |
| Rear hip room | 53.7 in | 52.2 in |
| Total interior volume | 100.1 cu ft (98.9 cu ft with moonroof) | 85.6 cu ft |
For commuters in Montclair who carpool, the Crew Cab’s five seats and 33.2 inches of rear legroom make it the cab to compare first.
Bed Length and Cargo Room by Configuration
Cab choice also sets your bed length. Standard Crew Cab models pair the full second row with a 59.5-inch bed floor. The long-bed Crew Cab, available on SV and PRO-4X, stretches the bed floor to 73.3 inches without changing cabin dimensions. The King Cab is offered only in the S grade and comes with the 6-foot bed.
| Configuration | Available grades | Bed length at floor | Cargo bed volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crew Cab, 5-foot bed | S, SV, PRO-X, PRO-4X | 59.5 in (58.9 in with spray-in bedliner) | 40.1 cu ft (39.6 cu ft with spray-in bedliner) |
| Crew Cab, 6-foot bed | SV, PRO-4X | 73.3 in (includes spray-in bedliner) | 49.2 cu ft (includes spray-in bedliner) |
| King Cab, 6-foot bed | S | 73.3 in (72.7 in with spray-in bedliner) | 49.6 cu ft (49.2 cu ft with spray-in bedliner) |
With the King Cab’s rear seats flipped up, the rear area becomes protected interior space for tools, electronics and other gear. That space sits within the King Cab’s 85.6 cubic feet of total interior volume. For towing, payload and pricing by configuration, see our 2027 Nissan Frontier trims, pricing and specs guide.
