2027 Nissan Pathfinder Special Edition: Features, Pricing, and Is It Worth It?

The midsize truck segment is competitive. The 2027 Nissan Frontier holds its ground in it. A 310-horsepower V6, up to 7,150 lbs of towing capacity, and a lineup that includes S, SV, PRO-X, and PRO-4X grades, plus the PRO-4X R by Roush. Buyers in the Fairless Hills area have been putting the Frontier on their lists for good reason. Here is a closer look at what the 2027 Nissan Frontier brings to the table. Powertrain and Capability Every 2027 Nissan Frontier comes equipped with a V6 that produces 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. A 9-speed automatic transmission is standard across the lineup. Buyers choose between 4x2 and 4x4 depending on the trim. The Frontier rides on a fully boxed ladder frame. Towing capacity reaches up to 7,150 lbs and payload up to 1,590 lbs when properly configured; both figures are lineup maximums, achieved by the lighter S King Cab 4x2. The PRO-4X Crew Cab 4x4, for example, is rated at up to 1,220 lbs payload. Both numbers shift with cab style, bed length, and drivetrain. The Peruzzi Nissan sales team can confirm the figures for any specific build. What the numbers do not show is how the Frontier handles the transition from highway to trail. The 2027 Frontier's available 4x4 system offers selectable drive modes, while the PRO-4X adds a four-mode Terrain Mode Selector designed for different driving conditions. For buyers doing real work with their truck like hauling materials, pulling a trailer, running a loaded bed on uneven terrain, the combination of the boxed ladder frame and the V6's torque output gives the Frontier a foundation that compact unibody trucks do not have. That structural difference is part of why truck buyers looking at the midsize segment keep landing on the Frontier as a serious option rather than just an affordable one. 2027 Nissan Frontier Trims The 2027 Frontier lineup runs four core grades, two special editions, and one Roush build. Core grades S is the entry point. Available in King Cab or Crew Cab, 4x2 or 4x4, with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto included from the factory. SV adds a 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and 17-inch aluminum wheels. Crew Cab only. PRO-X is the 4x2 off-road-oriented grade. It comes with Bilstein suspension components, black 17-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, and an available Intelligent Around View Monitor. Crew Cab only. PRO-4X is the dedicated off-road grade. Bilstein off-road performance shock absorbers, an electronic locking rear differential, skid plates, and all-terrain tires. The hardware is there to use, this is not a visual package. Note that the 7,150-lb tow rating is a lineup maximum, achieved by the lighter S King Cab 4x2. The PRO-4X Crew Cab 4x4 Long Bed is rated up to 6,310 lbs. Special editions Dark Armor builds on the SV with dark exterior and interior accents, dark mirror caps, and dark aluminum wheels. Sport builds on the SV with black sport wheels, all-terrain tires, aluminum skid plates, and sport exterior and interior accents. Roush build PRO-4X R by Roush builds on the PRO-4X with Roush off-road-tuned suspension, a lift kit, exclusive 17-inch wheels, aggressive all-terrain tires, and titanium-finish accents. The Roush components are sold separately by Roush and are not designed, manufactured, tested, or warranted by Nissan.

Both the Nissan Pathfinder and the Nissan Murano are midsize SUVs sold at Peruzzi Nissan in Fairless Hills, PA but they are built for different buyers. The Pathfinder is a three-row SUV with seating for up to eight and serious towing capability. The Murano is a two-row SUV that seats five, with a turbocharged engine, a more premium interior focus, and a lower towing rating. Understanding the difference between the Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Murano starts with knowing which job each one is actually designed to do. What Is the Difference Between the Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Murano? The most fundamental difference is seating and row count. The 2026 Nissan Pathfinder used cars or new ones offers three rows and seats up to eight passengers. The 2027 Nissan Murano new cars has two rows and seats five. If your family regularly needs more than five seats, the comparison effectively ends there: the Pathfinder is the right vehicle. Beyond seating, the two diverge significantly in towing capacity, engine output, and available drivetrain options. How Do the Pathfinder and Murano Compare on Specs? 2026 Nissan Pathfinder 2027 Nissan Murano Seating Up to 8 (7 with captain's chairs) 5 Rows 3 2 Engine 3.5L V6 VC-Turbo Horsepower 284 hp (295 hp Rock Creek) 241 hp Torque 259 lb-ft (270 lb-ft Rock Creek) 260 lb-ft Transmission 9-speed automatic 9-speed automatic Max Towing 6,000 lbs (when properly equipped) 1,500 lbs Highway MPG Up to 27 MPG Up to 27 MPG AWD Available Intelligent 4x4 (7 terrain modes) Standard Intelligent AWD Standard Drive Front-wheel drive AWD Which Has More Towing Capacity: the Pathfinder or the Murano? This is where the gap is largest. The 2027 Nissan Murano is rated for up to 1,500 lbs of towing capacity. The 2026 Nissan Pathfinder ranges from 3,500 lbs on certain configurations up to 6,000 lbs on properly equipped 4x4 trims with the tow package. Not every Pathfinder trim reaches the 6,000 lb maximum, towing capacity varies by drivetrain and configuration. For families who tow a boat, camper, or utility trailer, the Pathfinder is the stronger choice. Which Has More Seating: the Pathfinder or the Murano? The Pathfinder seats up to eight in its standard configuration with a three-row bench, or seven with available captain's chairs in the second row. The Murano seats five across two rows. If you need to carry more than five passengers regularly, the Pathfinder is the only option between these two vehicles. How Does the Pathfinder's Off-Road Capability Compare to the Murano's? The available Intelligent 4x4 system on the 2026 Nissan Pathfinder includes direct coupling and seven driver-selectable terrain modes: Mud/Rut, Sand, Snow, Tow, Sport, Eco, and Auto. These modes are specific to 4x4-equipped trims and do not apply to FWD configurations. The Rock Creek trim adds further capability with 295 hp, 270 lb-ft of torque, an off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, and a heavy-duty tubular roof rack as standard equipment on that trim. The Murano offers standard Intelligent AWD with Snow Mode. It is designed for improved all-weather traction rather than off-road use. For families driving primarily on paved roads in all weather, the Murano's AWD system is capable. For light trails, towing over rough terrain, or maximizing off-pavement confidence, the Pathfinder's 4x4 system is the stronger setup. Which Nissan Should You Buy: the Pathfinder or the Murano? The right answer depends on what your household actually needs: Consider the Nissan Pathfinder if: You need seating for up to eight passengers, or seven with available second-row captain’s chairs. You tow a trailer, boat, or camper regularly You want available 4x4 with terrain modes for off-pavement driving Consider the Nissan Murano if: You need seating for five You prioritize a turbocharged engine and a more premium cabin experience Towing is light or not a regular need Highway fuel economy in the same range as the Pathfinder matters and a smaller footprint is preferred Both vehicles come standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360, which includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, and high beam assist. ProPILOT Assist is standard on the 2027 Murano and available on the 2026 Pathfinder, depending on trim.

Two of Nissan's most accessible vehicles just got better. The 2027 Nissan Sentra and the 2027 Nissan Kicks are on sale and both arrive with updates that address real buyer feedback. If you wrote off either of these in a previous model year, here's what changed and why a second look makes sense. What Is New for the 2027 Nissan Sentra? The 2027 Nissan Sentra arrives with a new exterior and interior design, a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, and available dual 12.3-inch displays. Recalibrated Xtronic CVT The most meaningful mechanical change for 2027 is a revised CVT tune. Nissan engineers recalibrated the Xtronic transmission software to deliver a smoother, more linear throttle response, reducing the delayed ratio shifts and engine drone that CVTs in this segment are known for during hard acceleration. The 2027 Sentra is powered by a 149-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) Midnight Edition Package The 2027 Sentra lineup includes an SR Midnight Edition with 18-inch gloss-black aluminum-alloy wheels. It's a cosmetic package, but it gives the Sentra SR a distinctly sportier look that the standard trim doesn't offer. What stays the same: The powertrain is unchanged. Every 2027 Sentra runs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque, paired with the CVT and front-wheel drive. EPA-estimated fuel economy holds at up to 30 MPG city and 38 MPG highway on S, SV, and SL trims; the SR is rated at 29 MPG city / 36 MPG highway. Nissan Safety Shield® 360 includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist. What Is New for the 2027 Nissan Kicks? The Kicks was fully redesigned for 2025, sharper styling, a more upright stance, updated tech, and available all-wheel drive. For 2027, the headline addition is a new trim that meaningfully expands what the Kicks can do. Kicks Rock Creek AWD Nissan has added the Rock Creek trim to the Kicks lineup for 2027, joining the Rock Creek family that already includes versions of the Rogue and Pathfinder. The 2027 Nissan Kicks Rock Creek is built off the SV trim and adds: Standard Intelligent AWD Exclusive Off-Road drive mode Hill Descent Control Unique 17-inch wheels with rugged design Black exterior trim and a distinctive grille Roof rack with crossbars rated to carry up to 165 pounds Amber daytime running lights The Rock Creek positions the Kicks as something it wasn't before: a subcompact SUV with genuine light off-road capability, not just cosmetic trail styling. For buyers who want AWD capability without stepping up to a larger vehicle, this is a new option worth taking seriously. What stays the same: The powertrain carries over, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque paired with a CVT. EPA-estimated fuel economy for FWD models is 28 MPG city / 35 MPG highway. The 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard across the lineup. ProPILOT Assist is available on the SR grade. Feature 2027 Nissan Sentra 2027 Nissan Kicks Rock Creek Engine 2.0L 4-cylinder 2.0L 4-cylinder Horsepower 149 hp 141 hp Drivetrain FWD Standard AWD MPG (City/Hwy) 30 / 38 (S/SV/SL); 29 / 36 (SR) 28 / 35 (FWD est.) Key 2027 Update Revised CVT + Midnight Edition New Rock Creek trim Sentra or Kicks: Which One Is Right for You? The answer depends on what you are prioritizing: The Sentra may suit buyers prioritizing sedan efficiency and a lower seating position, while the Kicks may appeal to buyers wanting crossover cargo flexibility and available AWD. The Kicks makes more sense if you want SUV practicality, higher seating position, more cargo flexibility, and available AWD, at a subcompact price. The new Rock Creek trim adds real capability for buyers who want occasional off-road confidence or simply want AWD for Pennsylvania winters without spending Rogue money. Both are available now at Peruzzi Nissan in Fairless Hills. FAQs What is new for the 2027 Nissan Sentra? The 2027 Sentra adds a recalibrated Xtronic CVT for smoother acceleration, a new $650 Midnight Edition package on the SR trim, and an updated Qi2-standard wireless charging pad on higher trims.
