2027 Nissan Kicks: Trims, EPA-Estimated MPG, and Family Value

Front-wheel-drive models carry up to 30 cubic feet of cargo behind the rear seats. Below is a grade-by-grade look at what Ontario-area families get for the money.

How the 2027 Kicks Handles Family Duty
Five-passenger seating is standard on every 2027 Kicks. So are LATCH child-seat anchors and a 60/40 split-folding rear bench.
Cargo Space by Drivetrain
Cargo volume is the one number that shifts meaningfully with how you configure the vehicle. Front-wheel-drive models give you the most room. All-wheel-drive models give up space under the floor to the rear-drive hardware and multi-link suspension.
Front-Wheel Drive
- EPA-estimated 28 MPG city / 35 MPG highway / 31 MPG combined
- 30.0 cu ft behind the rear seats on the Kicks S; 29.2 cu ft on SV and SR
- 60.0 cu ft with the rear seats folded on the Kicks S; 58.5 cu ft on SV and SR
- Semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive
- EPA-estimated 27 MPG city / 34 MPG highway / 30 MPG combined
- 23.9 cu ft behind the rear seats on every grade
- 50.1 cu ft with the rear seats folded on every grade
- Independent multi-link rear suspension

Interior Dimensions

Those are usable numbers for adults up front and car seats behind them.
2027 Nissan Kicks Trims and Pricing
Nissan builds the 2027 Kicks in three grades: S, SV and SR. Each is available with front-wheel drive or Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. New for 2027 is the Rock Creek package, an all-wheel-drive-only option on the SV grade rather than a separate trim. Pricing below reflects the figures published in Nissan’s 2027 Kicks press kit.
| Grade | Starting MSRP, Front-Wheel Drive | Starting MSRP, Intelligent AWD | Standard Equipment Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kicks S | $24,335 MSRP | $25,835 MSRP | 16-inch steel wheels with covers, cloth seating, manual climate control, 12.3-inch touchscreen |
| Kicks SV | $26,035 MSRP | $28,035 MSRP | 17-inch steel wheels with covers, premium cloth seating, automatic temperature control, wireless charging pad, remote engine start, roof rails |
| Kicks SR | $28,535 MSRP | $30,335 MSRP | 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, leatherette seating with sport cloth inserts, 12.3-inch digital dashboard, ProPILOT Assist, four USB-C ports |
| Rock Creek Package (SV grade) | Not offered with front-wheel drive | $30,385 MSRP | Off-Road driving mode, Hill Descent Control, Rock Creek 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, roof rack with cross bars, heated front seats and mirrors |

What Each Grade Adds
The Kicks S opens the lineup with 16-inch steel wheels and wheel covers, cloth seating and manual climate control. It gets the same 12.3-inch touchscreen every grade receives.
The SV steps up to 17-inch steel wheels with covers, premium cloth seating and automatic temperature control. It adds a front wireless charging pad, remote engine start, an Intelligent Key with approach unlock and walk-away lock, and roof rails. Seventeen-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are available.
The SR is the equipment leader. It rides on 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, with 19-inch wheels available. Over the SV it adds:
- Leatherette-appointed seating with sport cloth inserts
- TailorFit-wrapped steering wheel
- 12.3-inch digital instrument display
- Six-speaker audio system and four USB-C ports
- Carbon-fiber-look instrument panel finisher and interior ambient lighting
- Heated front seats and mirrors
- Rear seat armrest
Packages and Options
The SV Premium package adds a panoramic moonroof with a power sunshade, illuminated visors and a sunglasses holder. The SR Premium package adds a panoramic moonroof, a ten-speaker Bose Personal Plus audio system, a heated steering wheel and a front center airbag. Premium paint, two-tone paint and a combined premium two-tone finish are available on SV and SR, and a Cold Weather package is available on the SV. For a look at how the grades have evolved, see our Nissan Kicks trim levels guide.
Powertrain and Driving
Every 2027 Kicks shares one powertrain. What changes between configurations is the drivetrain and the rear suspension.
| Specification | All 2027 Kicks Grades |
|---|---|
| Engine | 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder |
| Horsepower | 141 hp at 6,000 rpm |
| Torque | 140 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm |
| Transmission | Xtronic continuously variable transmission |
| Ground clearance | 8.4 inches |
| Recommended fuel | Regular unleaded |
Front-wheel-drive models use a semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension. Models with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive use an independent multi-link rear setup. That is the more sophisticated arrangement, and it is part of why those models give up cargo volume. Drive mode selection offers Normal, Eco and Sport, with a Snow mode added on all-wheel-drive models. Hill Start Assist is standard across the lineup.
EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy
Front-wheel-drive 2027 Kicks models are rated at an EPA-estimated 28 MPG city, 35 MPG highway and 31 MPG combined. All-wheel-drive models are rated at an EPA-estimated 27 MPG city, 34 MPG highway and 30 MPG combined. Both sets of figures are published on Nissan’s 2027 Kicks specifications page.
The gap between the two is a single EPA-estimated MPG combined. That is worth weighing against what all-wheel drive costs on the grade you want. For a closer look at how those numbers translate day to day, see our 2026 Nissan Kicks EPA-Estimated MPG guide.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Technology in Every 2027 Kicks
A 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen is standard on every grade. So are wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. You do not need to step up a trim or plug in a cable to get phone mirroring on the screen.
SiriusXM with a three-month subscription is included across the lineup, along with Bluetooth, streaming audio, Siri Eyes Free and illuminated steering wheel audio controls. More detail on the infotainment setup is in our guide to the 2026 Kicks standard tech features.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which 2027 Nissan Kicks has the most cargo space?
The Kicks S with front-wheel drive leads at 30.0 cubic feet behind the rear seats, followed by the front-wheel-drive SV and SR at 29.2 cubic feet. Every all-wheel-drive configuration carries 23.9 cubic feet. Fold the 60/40 split rear seat and front-wheel-drive models open to as much as 60.0 cubic feet. If maximum cargo room matters more to you than all-wheel drive, the front-wheel-drive models are the better pick.
Is all-wheel drive worth the extra cost on the 2027 Kicks?
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive adds $1,500 MSRP on the S, $2,000 MSRP on the SV and $1,800 MSRP on the SR. It also costs you one EPA-estimated MPG combined and about six cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. The tradeoff comes down to how often you want the added traction of a system that can send power to the rear wheels in slick conditions.
