Nissan’s most affordable SUV will grow slightly more expensive for the 2026 model year, but keep its starting price under $24,000 with delivery fees.
The Nissan Kicks received a dramatic makeover for the 2025 model year, with a new look that thoroughly increased its appeal. The subcompact Nissan Kicks gained optional all-wheel drive (AWD), a sneaker-inspired look, and Nissan’s excellent Zero Gravity seats in both rows.
It remains lightly powered, with a 141-horsepower 4-cylinder engine, but that’s to be expected in the subcompact classes.
For 2026, Nissan won’t make major changes to such a new car. The Kicks gains an optional new Cold Weather Package, and a 12.3-inch central touchscreen previously found only on upper trim levels comes to the base model.
The changes mean a price bump. The lowest-priced 2026 Kicks will start at $23,925 after delivery. That’s a $705 increase over the 2025 price.
When Nissan replaced the Kicks in 2025, it continued to sell the old model under the new name Kicks Play. A Nissan spokesperson confirms that that model will not continue into 2026.

Nissan will charge a mandatory $1,495 destination fee on all 2026 Kicks models. That’s an increase of $105 from the shipping fee on 2025 versions.
