The 2026 Nissan Kicks is a front-wheel-drive subcompact SUV equipped with a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine that generates 122 horsepower, paired to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Three available trims include the S, SV, and SR, with a comprehensive suite of safety and driver assist tech across the range. Key features include standard automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, and blind spot warning. The infotainment package boasts a 7-inch touchscreen as standard, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The optional 8-inch touchscreen and a Bose Personal Plus stereo system enhances the experience dramatically. A novelty in the Kicks is high-quality Prima-tex appointed seats and a customizable sound and ambient lighting system.
