The 2026 Nissan Kicks arrives with an even stronger value proposition. Every model now comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and two USB-C ports up front. Additionally, the SV and SR models now offer a new Cold Weather Package. That bundles together heated front seats, heated side mirrors, and rear floor heater ducts.
The rest of the car remains unchanged. It’s still a compelling subcompact crossover brimming with value. Every 2026 Nissan Kicks comes standard with the Safety Shield 360 driver assistance suite. On the range-topping SR trim, it also comes with ProPilot Assist for added convenience on long highway drives. Other options include a heated steering wheel, 19-inch alloy wheels, and wireless charging. Looking to go all in? The SR trim also includes a surround view camera, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a sweet 10-speaker Bose premium audio system featuring speakers embedded on the front seats’ headrests.
Only one engine is available in the 2026 Kicks. All models use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 141 hp and 140 lb-ft of torque. Nissan’s Xtronic CVT remains the only transmission available. Additionally, FWD comes standard, while AWD is available as an option. Getting the latter also results in superior ride and handling over the former. How? AWD models come with a multilink rear suspension instead of a torsion beam, which is what the FWD cars have.
Pricing starts at $23,925 for the base S trim. AWD adds an extra $1,600 to the sticker price. A top-of-the-line SR model starts at $27,315 with FWD or $29,655 with AWD. Load it up with everything, and you’re looking at just over $28,000 for a front-drive model or a smidge over $30,000 if you want AWD. Two-tone exterior colors cost you anywhere from $350 to $800 extra.
