2026 Nissan Kicks
2026 Nissan
Kicks
Since its 2018 debut, the Kicks has sold well, especially since its second generation started last year. Although it’s fresh off that 2025 redesign, Nissan has expanded the subcompact crossover’s amenities for 2026. The multimedia system in the S has been significantly upgraded to the same system found in the two higher trims, with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Siri Eyes Free, and access to NissanConnect Services. The SV and SR both add remote start, with the SV also getting roof rails and front seatback pockets (all of those features were optional before). Nissan has also introduced the Cold Weather Package for buyers of the two higher trims who’d like to make wintertime driving more comfortable with heated front seats, heated side-view mirrors, and separate heat ducts for the second row.
