The 2026 Nissan Kicks is back and bolder than ever, now completely redesigned for Canadian roads. With more space, more power, and all-weather versatility thanks to its new available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, this subcompact SUV has transformed into something truly exciting. Whether you’re weaving through traffic or heading out toward the Rockies, the Kicks has the power and personality to fit your lifestyle.
A Redesign That Makes a Statement
From the first glance, the 2026 Kicks grabs attention. Nissan has completely overhauled the design, giving it a wider stance and a more confident presence. Sleek LED headlights, muscular body lines, and a refreshed V-Motion grille create a look that’s both athletic and refined. The new two-tone paint options are perfect for drivers in who want to stand out on every street corner or at every scenic viewpoint. Compared to last year’s version, this Kicks feels more mature and upscale, while still maintaining the playful personality Canadians love.
Performance That Packs More Punch
Gone is the smaller 1.6-litre engine, replaced with a more capable 2.0-litre Direct Injection Gasoline DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder. This engine delivers 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque, a noticeable boost in everyday performance. Mated to Nissan’s Xtronic CVT®, the Kicks delivers smooth acceleration and impressive efficiency, perfect for both downtown commutes and weekend adventures.
And for the first time ever, the 2026 Kicks offers available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. It’s a welcome upgrade for unpredictable winters, providing more traction and confidence when the snow hits. The system automatically adjusts power between the front and rear wheels, keeping you steady whether you’re navigating icy streets or muddy backroads. With a combined fuel efficiency of around 7.4 L/100 km, you’ll spend less time at the pump and more time enjoying the drive.
Interior Comfort That Feels Premium
Step inside, and you’ll see that Nissan’s redesign goes beyond the exterior. The cabin feels more refined and more practical than ever. High-quality materials, a clean dash layout, and versatile storage options make the 2026 Kicks as smart as it is stylish.
There’s 849.5 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats, plenty for groceries, camping gear, or hockey bags, and up to 1,700 litres when you fold the seats down. Every trim includes heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, ideal for chilly mornings. Rear passengers get under-seat heater ducts for added comfort, making every seat in the Kicks feel like the best seat in the house. With added legroom and a roomier cabin overall, the 2026 Kicks gives everyone space to breathe.
Smart Technology for Modern Driving
Tech lovers will appreciate how advanced this year’s Kicks has become. At the centre of the dash is an available 12.3-inch NissanConnect® display with multi-touch functionality. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, letting you stay connected on the go without the clutter of cables.
Drivers can also enjoy a 7-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display for real-time information like navigation prompts, speed, and fuel economy. In upper trims, the digital dashboard grows to a 12.3-inch fully digital cluster, and sound lovers can indulge in the available Bose Personal® Plus system with 10 speakers that surround you with crisp, concert-like audio. Add in features like a wireless charging pad, customizable ambient lighting, and advanced voice commands, and the 2026 Kicks easily competes with vehicles from higher segments in both luxury and innovation.
Safety That Inspires Confidence
Safety has always been a key focus for Nissan, and the 2026 Kicks continues that commitment. Every model comes equipped with the Nissan Safety Shield® 360 suite, including Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Departure Warning.
Higher trims add advanced systems such as Intelligent Cruise Control, Traffic Sign Recognition, and the Intelligent Around View® Monitor for easier parking in tight spaces. ProPILOT Assist also joins the lineup, helping maintain distance and lane position during highway drives.
