Nissan Kicks Rock Creek model launch

Overview

Nissan has introduced the Kicks Rock Creek, an outdoor-themed custom model designed for light off-road and lifestyle use.

In the North American market, the 2027 model features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 141 hp, paired with an Xtronic CVT and an all-wheel-drive system. Designed to compete in the soft-roading market against vehicles like the Subaru Crosstrek, the trim includes Hill Descent Control, a dedicated off-road mode, and pricing starting at approximately $28,840. The exterior features orange accents on the grille, roof rails, and wheels, while the interior includes TailorFit seats with orange contrast stitching and waterproof materials.

In Japan, the model is scheduled for release starting December 23. This version features a black-based exterior with ‘Lava Red’ accents on the grille protector, 17-inch aluminum wheels, and emblems. The interior maintains a black theme with Lava Red accents on the steering wheel, door trims, and instrument panel, alongside waterproof seats for activities like camping.

Japanese buyers can choose between 2WD and 4WD (e-4ORCE) drivetrains. Higher-end ‘Utility Spec’ grades offer advanced safety technology, the NissanConnect infotainment system, and an Intelligent Around View Monitor with 3D functionality. While the e-4ORCE system provides enhanced stability in snow or rain, it results in a reduction in cargo capacity from 476L to 340L, increased vehicle weight, and lower WLTC fuel economy compared to 2WD variants.
