2023 Frontier Interior

室内氛围取决于削减for, with the basic King Cabs losing out on some luxury features. All models come with at least an eight-inch touchscreen interface with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which elevates the interior. All models also get a multifunction steering wheel with audio and Bluetooth controls, air conditioning, and cruise control, so it has the essential convenience items sorted. Base models have a hard-wearing urethane steering wheel and basic cloth seats, which suits their purpose perfectly. The top-spec PRO-prefixed models have leather on the steering wheel, embroidered premium upholstery, and a more extensive touchscreen interface. Hard plastic surfaces are pretty much standard across the range, but that's par for the course in this segment. The focus is on longevity rather than luxury, but some soft-touch materials on the dashboard and door cards would have elevated the luxury models slightly. Still, this is a massive improvement over the old model and many of the Frontier's rivals. It's not a Ridgeline, but it's now no longer the worst in the class by some margin.

Seating and Interior Space

Once again, interior space depends on the model you opt for, with the Crew Cab being more suitable for families, although either configuration seats up to five people. The King Cab is excellent in the front, offering 42.3 inches of legroom and 39.7 inches of headroom. Rear passengers only get 26.2 inches of legroom and 36.6 inches of headroom. To put that into perspective, the Mini Cooper Convertible's rear seats offer 30.9 inches of legroom. Still, it's not as bad as the Access Cab Toyota Tacoma, which only provides a laughable 24.6 inches. The Ford Ranger is the best in the segment, offering rear passengers a usable 30.4 inches legroom.

The Crew Cab is a lot more suitable for family hauling. The front headroom is 39.9 inches as standard, dropping down to 39.1 with a moonroof. The front legroom matches the King Cab at 42.3 inches. In the second row, things are much better. Rear passengers have access to 33.2 inches of legroom and 38.6 inches of headroom. More important than the figures though is that the seats in the Frontier are some of the most comfortable we've occupied in any midsize truck.

Interior Colors and Materials

基地年代模型come as standard with base cloth, while SV models get premium cloth upholstery available in Charcoal or Sandstone. Embroidered Charcoal premium cloth is standard on the PRO-X and PRO-4X models with Lava Red stitching. A Premium Package available on the SV, Pro-X, and Pro-4X upgrades the seat trim to leather.

内饰是最好的形容为hard-wearing plastic with soft-touch material in high-traffic areas. The PRO-4X model uses orange for some contrast. It comes with orange stitching on the seats, grab handles, steering wheel, and dashboard. Nissan also adds a few orange trim pieces to spice things up a bit. It works, but we wonder whether orange was the right choice? Orange is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of color, and we can certainly see some pragmatic folks walking away from the Nissan because of its slightly flamboyant interior. We like it, however.

2023 Frontier Trunk and Cargo Space

The rear seats on both models can be folded forward in a 60/40 split, offering a secure space for expensive items, which is a clever trick for a common oversight on trucks where the bed is only practical so long as you don't store anything valuable there. Nothing will ruin a weekend away quite like an opportunistic villain helping himself to your sleeping bag at a traffic light.

The King Cab models are only available with one-bed size. It's 73.3 inches long (72.7 inches with a spray-in bedliner) and 19.4 inches deep. The maximum width is 58.8 inches at the C-channel, dropping to 44.5 inches between the wheel wells. Nissan claims a cargo bed volume of 49.6 cubic feet without a bedliner and 49.2 cubes with it. The longer bed can be added to Crew Cab SV models, in which case it matches the figures mentioned above. The spray-in bedliner is standard. The maximum payload of 1,610 lbs is applicable to the King Cab SV in 4x2 guise. Crew Cab derivatives take a knock in this regard, with a maximum figure of 1,480 lbs.

The shorter bed standard on the Crew Cabs is 59.5 inches long, decreasing slightly to 58.9 inches with the bedliner. In terms of height and width, it's the same as the longer bed. The total cargo volume is 39.6 cubes with the bedliner and 40.1 cubes without.

Interior storage is sublime. The Frontier Crew Cab has door pockets large enough to fit a 32-ounce water bottle and eight beverage holders in total. Front passengers get ample storage space under the armrest, dual cupholders, an excellent storage space specifically designed for a phone, and another small storage cubby underneath the center console for wallets and keys.

2023 Frontier Infotainment and Features

Features

The Frontier is available in King Cab and Crew Cab, but the standard features depend on the trim level, including S, SV, PRO-X, and PRO-4X. All models get a decent list of convenience features, to begin with, including cruise control, power windows, remote keyless entry with a push-button start, two 12-volt interior power outlets, a rearview camera, intelligent driver alertness. SV models gain an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat with four-way manual lumbar support, power-adjustable side mirrors, and premium cloth. Long-wheebase SV Crew Cabs get the Convenience Package as standard. The two PRO-badged models share the same specification level, with the PRO-4X being a 4x4 with better off-road ability. These models get LED headlights and fog lights, daytime running lights, embroidered premium upholstery, and NissanConnect Services. Nissan's Safety Shield 360 suite of assistance systems and collision mitigation is available across the range, but isn't standard, which might be an oversight on the part of Nissan.

Infotainment

Workhorses usually have tiny infotainment screens to comply with US safety regulations which require a rearview camera. That's why it's nice to see Nissan include decent infotainment systems from the base model upwards, and every model gets a seven-inch Advanced Drive Assist Display in the instrument cluster. S and SV models are equipped with an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, Siri Eyes Free, voice recognition, SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. A six-speaker sound system is standard.

PRO models feature a larger nine-inch color touchscreen with navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a ten-speaker sound system. A ten-speaker Fender premium sound system is available for every model except the S.
