2026 Nissan Kicks dimensions
The Kicks remains compact in the city while offering generous cargo space: up to 849.5 L with seats up, and 1,699.6 L with the rear bench folded, among the best in its class. In practical terms, you will easily be able to stow your winter sports gear, weekly groceries, or luggage for a weekend at the cottage near Grenville. A thoughtful detail: the cup holders take a 30 oz coffee cup and the door pockets accept 32 oz bottles. A ground clearance of 214.2 mm helps you feel confident at the wheel on rough roads and in winter.
2026 Nissan Kicks: specs
The 2026 Nissan Kicks specs are built around a naturally aspirated 2.0 L four-cylinder engine that develops 141 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 140 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm, paired with a CVT.
2026 Nissan Kicks performance suits its size well. It is lively in town and sufficient for safe highway passing. For fuel use, count roughly 7.4 to 7.8 L/100 km combined, depending on configuration. In real-world urban winter driving, tests show around 9.8 L/100 km, which remains reasonable.
Note: the Kicks is not designed for towing. Look to the Rogue if you need to pull a trailer. On the other hand, the Kicks' contained weight helps fuel economy and urban agility.
2026 Nissan Kicks: on-board technology
The 2026 Nissan Kicks surprises with its impressive tech for a subcompact SUV. A large screen, wireless connectivity, and a refined sound system appear even on value trims.
Here are the main highlights:

- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Two USB-C ports standard (four on SR) and available wireless charging (SV and SR)
- Bose Personal Plus sound system available, with speakers integrated into the front headrests
- Available remote start, Easy-Fill tire pressure alert, and a drive mode selector (Normal, Eco, Sport)

- Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection
- Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Monitoring
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Rear Door Alert
