The 2027 Nissan Kicks will be available in S, SV, and SR grades, with the new Rock Creek package joining the lineup for buyers who need a little more capability beyond the pavement.

New Rock Creek Package Adds More Capability

The biggest change for 2027 is the addition of the Kicks Rock Creek package, available on the SV grade and equipped with standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.

The package adds an exclusive Off-Road driving mode designed to allow additional wheel slip and help maintain momentum on surfaces such as gravel, sand, and snow. Hill Descent Control is also included to help manage vehicle speed when traveling downhill on loose terrain.

Those features could make the Rock Creek version a fit for businesses whose drivers routinely leave paved roads, travel between jobsites, or operate in areas where weather and road conditions can change quickly. The Rock Creek package also adds 17-inch wheels, roof rails and cross bars rated to carry up to 165 pounds, gloss black exterior trim, amber daytime running lights, heated front seats, heated mirrors, rear heater ducts, Rear Automatic Braking, and an HD Intelligent Around View Monitor.

Inside, the model receives Rock Creek-specific TailorFit-appointed seating, branded floor mats, and a heated TailorFit-wrapped steering wheel. The Kicks Rock Creek AWD is priced at $28,840.
