Paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission, the powertrain delivers acceleration for city driving and highway cruising alike. For those who need improved traction for a host of conditions, all-wheel drive is now available across all trim levels.

Interior Tech and Comfort

Great tech, comfort, and convenience perks are everywhere in the main cabin of the Nissan Kicks. All trims now include a 12.3‑inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Base models offer a smaller touchscreen, but still deliver smartphone connectivity options. Rear passengers benefit from exclusive seats, designed to reduce fatigue even on longer drives across Iowa and beyond.

Cargo space is generous: in front‑wheel drive, you get about 29 cubic feet behind the back seat, and up to 59 cubic feet when you fold that row down. AWD versions offer 24 cubic feet behind the second row and 50 cubic feet with it folded. Comfort features like heated front seats, heated side mirrors, wireless charging pads, and premium upholstery become available or standard as you move up trims.
