Engine Specs and Performance Highlights
Every 2026 Nissan Kicks for sale at our dealership in Folsom comes standard with a capable 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque, carrying forward the improvements introduced in the previous model year. Paired with Nissan’s refined Xtronic continuously variable transmission, the 2026 Kicks delivers smooth acceleration and a more responsive driving experience, making it an ideal choice for both city streets and highway commutes. Front-wheel drive models feature three selectable drive modes including Normal, Eco, and Sport, allowing you to tailor performance to your needs. For drivers who want extra confidence in all weather conditions, available all-wheel drive adds a fourth Snow mode for added traction on slick or icy roads. Along with its budget-friendly price, fuel economy remains a standout for the 2026 Kicks, with FWD models achieving an impressive EPA-estimated 28 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. Even with AWD equipped, those numbers only dip slightly, ensuring efficiency stays strong across the lineup.
Interior Highlights
Building on its full refresh from 2025, the 2026 Nissan Kicks continues to impress with a premium feel that goes far beyond expectations for a subcompact SUV. Upper trims showcase a sleek 12.3-inch touchscreen paired with a clean, modern dashboard layout that makes every drive feel upscale. Comfort remains a highlight, thanks to Nissan’s Zero Gravity seats, generous front storage areas, a convenient wireless charging pad, and thoughtfully sized cupholders for everyday practicality. Rear passengers will appreciate the ample legroom, while cargo space remains one of the strongest in its class with an offering of up to 60 cubic feet with the seats folded (or 50.1 cu. ft. with AWD). On the tech side, Nissan’s latest infotainment system is intuitive and quick to respond. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included on SV and SR trims, while the range-topping SR offers an available 10-speaker Bose premium sound system with unique headrest speakers for an immersive audio experience.
Trim Levels
The 2026 Nissan Kicks is available at the right price in three well-equipped trims: S, SV, and SR. Each model offers excellent value and modern features, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available across the lineup. Let’s take a closer look at what each trim brings to the table.
Perfect for budget-conscious buyers, the base S trim comes with all the essentials to make daily driving safe and convenient. Standard features include full LED headlights, push-button start, a 7-inch digital display, and Nissan’s comprehensive Safety Shield 360 suite, which includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. Despite its value-oriented price, the S can be upgraded with optional all-wheel drive for added confidence in slippery conditions. Stepping up to the SV adds a strong dose of modern technology and comfort. Drivers enjoy a large 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, and dual USB-C ports for added convenience. Style gets an upgrade too, with body-color exterior accents and 17-inch wheels. Inside, you’ll find interior LED lighting and enhanced soft-touch materials, giving the cabin a more refined feel. The SV strikes an ideal balance between affordability and amenities, making it a smart choice for most buyers. At the top of the lineup, the 2026 Nissan Kicks SR delivers the most advanced features and sporty styling cues. It upgrades to 17-inch alloy wheels, a distinctive sport interior with leatherette-trimmed seating, ambient lighting, and a fully digital 12.3-inch driver’s display. Technology takes center stage with Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist semi-autonomous driving system, available 19-inch alloy wheels, and an optional 10-speaker Bose premium sound system with unique headrest speakers for an immersive audio experience.
