2027 Nissan Kicks
2027
Nissan Kicks
For 2027, the Nissan Kicks adds an
Off-Road drive mode and Hill Descent Control through its first-ever Rock Creek
grade. That makes this compact crossover a more practical pick for drivers in
Calgary who split their time between city streets and gravel roads west of town.
The Rock Creek is based on the Kicks SV and comes with Intelligent All-Wheel
Drive as standard, a roof rack with cross bars and its own gloss black look. The
lineup also includes S, SV and SR grades, so buyers can still go with
front-wheel drive on the S and SV or choose all-wheel drive across the range.
Each version uses a 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine, seats five and carries a 12.3-inch
touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Nissan Safety Shield
360 is standard on all of them. The 2027 Kicks is in stock at Fish Creek Nissan
in south Calgary, and our team can set you up with a walkaround of every
grade.
What’s
new on the 2027 Nissan Kicks?
Exterior
Rock Creek styling is designed to look
ready for the trailhead. Its front end carries a Rock Creek-exclusive upper
grille, amber Daytime Running Lights and an amber LED signature lamp. Gloss
black finishes cover the mirrors, the exterior trim and the lower fascias at
both ends. The Kicks body is a unibody design that uses corrosion-resistant and
high-strength steel. All grades get LED headlights with High Beam Assist, heated
side mirrors, a rear wiper and a heated wiper de-icer. Ground clearance is
213.4 mm (8.4 in), and the approach angle is 18 degrees, which helps when
crossing ruts or a rough parking lot. The Kicks measures 4,365 mm in length,
1,800 mm in width and 1,625 mm in height with all-wheel drive. The
all-wheel-drive wheelbase stretches to 2,665 mm. Wheel options range from
16-inch steel wheels on the S to 17-inch wheels on SV, Rock Creek and SR, with a
19-inch alloy upgrade offered on SR. Roof rails come on SV, Rock Creek and SR.
Rock Creek adds cross bars rated for 165 lb (75 kg), ready for bikes on a run
to Fish Creek Provincial Park. It also swaps the inflation kit for a full spare
tire and wheel.
Interior
The front cabin layout centres on a
12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen, with steering wheel controls for audio and
phone. A 7-inch digital dashboard is standard, and the SR grade upgrades to a
12.3-inch digital dashboard plus a touch-sensitive climate control panel. Rock
Creek seats are trimmed in leatherette and ballistic nylon, with Lava Orange
stitching and a Rock Creek logo. Rock Creek-branded floor mats, interior ambient
lighting and a TailorFit-wrapped heated steering wheel are also part of the
grade. SR models use sport leatherette with red and black cloth inserts, and
the S and SV use cloth seats. The Kicks holds five passengers, and heated front seats come standard on
all grades. Rock Creek and SR add a fold-down rear armrest. The 60/40 split rear
seat folds to grow cargo space for sports gear or luggage. All-wheel-drive
models offer 676.8 litres behind the rear seats, while front-wheel-drive models
offer 849.5 litres and up to 1,699 litres with the seats folded. Front leg room
is 1,083.4 mm. A panoramic moonroof is available through the SV Premium and SR
Premium packages, and front head room is 988.7 mm with the moonroof.
Features
Technology
Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless
Android Auto are standard through the 12.3-inch touchscreen. SiriusXM satellite
radio includes a 90-day trial, and Bluetooth hands-free calling, audio streaming
and Siri Eyes Free come on every grade. Two USB-C ports up front are standard,
and the Kicks can be equipped with up to four. SV, Rock Creek and SR add
wireless device charging. The SR Premium Package offers a Bose 10-speaker
Personal Plus audio system with speakers built into the front headrests. Remote
Engine Start is available, and Easy-Fill Tire Alert and Rear Door Alert are
standard.
Safety
Every Kicks includes Nissan Safety Shield
360, with Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection,
Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and High
Beam Assist. Intelligent Cruise Control and Intelligent Driver Alertness are
standard too. Rock Creek gains Rear Automatic Braking and the HD Intelligent
Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection, both also found on SR. The SR
adds ProPILOT Assist, Blind Spot Intervention, Lane Departure Prevention,
Emergency Lane Keep Assist and Front Parking Assist, which help on longer
highway trips along Stoney Trail and beyond.
Powertrain
and it is standard on that grade and on SR while remaining available on S and
SV. All-wheel-drive models add a Snow mode to the Normal, Eco and Sport drive
modes. Rock Creek’s Off-Road mode uses unique traction control tuning that lets
the wheels slip a bit more, helping maintain momentum on loose gravel, sand and
snow. Hill Descent Control manages speed on slippery downhill grades. For
drivers taking gravel access roads in Kananaskis Country, those features help
on slower, uneven stretches. Hill Start Assist is standard on every grade.
Power comes from a 2.0 L 4-cylinder
engine that produces 141 hp and 140 lb-ft of torque. An Xtronic transmission
sends that power to the front or all four wheels, and the engine is designed for
regular unleaded fuel. Idle Stop/Start is standard. NRCan ratings for
all-wheel-drive models are 8.5 L/100 km city, 6.9 highway and 7.8 combined.
Front-wheel-drive models come in at 8.1 city, 6.6 highway and 7.4 combined. The
fuel tank holds 45 litres. All-wheel-drive models use a multilink rear
suspension, and SR adds Active Ride Control and Intelligent Trace
Control.
Versions
front-wheel or all-wheel drive, with steel wheels, heated front seats and the
12.3-inch touchscreen. The SV keeps both drivetrain choices and adds roof
rails, a heated steering wheel, privacy glass and wireless charging, while the
SV Premium AWD adds a panoramic moonroof. Rock Creek sits above it with standard
all-wheel drive, Off-Road mode, Hill Descent Control, cross bars, a spare tire
and exclusive trim inside and out. The SR comes with all-wheel drive, sport
seats, a 12.3-inch digital dashboard, six speakers and ProPILOT Assist. The SR
Premium adds a moonroof, Bose audio and a front central seat-mounted air
bag.
