2025 Nissan Kicks First Drive: All The Details
2025 Nissan Kicks Overview
The 2026 Nissan Kicks is a compact crossover that builds upon its 2025 redesign, available in three grades: S, SV, and SR. Each trim is offered with standard front-wheel drive or available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. The vehicle is positioned to offer utility, featuring what Nissan claims is best-in-class standard ground clearance for challenging conditions and best-in-class available rear cargo space.
The interior provides up to 30 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seats in place, which expands to 60 cubic feet when they are lowered. All models are available with the SiriusXM with 360L audio platform. For safety and driver assistance, all 2026 Kicks models come standard with Nissan Safety Shield® 360. Intelligent Cruise Control is included on the S and SV grades, while the top SR trim adds ProPILOT Assist, which integrates steering assistance to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane during highway travel.
Fuel economy is rated at up to 28 mpg city and 35 mpg highway for front-wheel-drive models, while all-wheel-drive versions achieve up to 27 mpg city and 34 mpg highway. The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price starts at $22,430 for the base S FWD model.
What's New for 2026
The base Kicks S grade now includes a standard 12.3-inch infotainment system featuring wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, along with two standard front USB-C ports. Additionally, a new Cold Weather Package is now available for the SV and SR grades, which adds heated front seats, heated side mirrors, and rear floor heater ducts for enhanced comfort in cooler climates.
