2026 Nissan Kicks

Nissan offers the 2026 Kicks in several trims: S, SV, and SR, each available in front-wheel drive or with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. The S trim delivers essential features such as a touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay®, and Nissan Safety Shield® 360. The SV adds conveniences like roof rails, optional climate packages, and additional comfort touches. The SR trim steps up styling and performance with 19-inch alloy wheels, a more premium interior, and available AWD for enhanced capability.

Under the hood, the 2026 Kicks is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with Nissan’s Xtronic CVT® transmission, which helps deliver smooth acceleration and efficient performance in both city and highway driving.

This crossover is tuned for planning and adaptability. The base configuration includes front-wheel drive, and for drivers seeking more grip, Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is available. With idle stop-start, Eco Mode, and active grille shutters, the Kicks is optimized for fuel efficiency—rated up to 28/35 mpg (city/highway) according to Nissan.

Inside the 2026 Kicks, passengers will appreciate a well-thought-out layout that balances design and utility. Zero-Gravity front seats and a 60/40-split rear seat help maximize comfort and cargo space. Available tech features include a 12.3-inch dual high-resolution display (in some trims), wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and smart storage solutions that make the cabin feel open and agile.

Safety is built in with Nissan Safety Shield® 360 standard on all Kicks models. This includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and High Beam Assist. For drivers looking for extra confidence, features like ProPILOT Assist are available on select trims for highway driving assistance.
