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.

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.
