Nissan Kicks Reviews: What Are Auto Critics Saying?

2026 Nissan Kicks reviews show that auto experts have found much to praise. Find out what these experts say about this model’s interior, performance, and safety features: 

Car And Driver

“The Kicks’s cabin looks suitably modern, with landscape-oriented screens atop the dashboard angled slightly toward the driver for better visibility. Rear passengers get a comfort upgrade thanks to the addition of Nissan’s much-ballyhooed Zero Gravity seats. The lineup-topping SR trim gets a touch panel for the HVAC settings, which function automatically; owners of lesser trims have to manually turn dials and press buttons to set the cabin climate. Cargo space is good here, though opting for AWD will mean sacrificing some of it: Front-drivers have 29 cubic feet of room behind the second row and 59 cubes with the rear seats folded, whereas AWD models have 24 and 50 cubic feet, respectively. When we tested an AWD model, we fit eight suitcases behind the rear seats and 21 carry-ons with the seats folded.”

Kelley Blue Book

“Typically, subcompact SUVs gin up about as much excitement as microwaved oatmeal. However, there’s much about the 2026 Nissan Kicks to stir the soul. Having received a full makeover for 2025, the Kicks now lays claim to available all-wheel drive (AWD) and better-than-average ground clearance. We must also admit that we like the rugged styling. Furthermore, Nissan has stuffed it with all manner of advanced tech. Yet, the Kicks remains a real bargain within its class.”

“A generous selection of standard and available safety features is a strong point of the Kicks. The Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite of safety features is standard across the lineup and includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and blind spot monitoring. The SR comes standard with a 360-degree camera system, lane-centering steering, blind spot intervention, and other exclusive safety features.”
