The 2026 Nissan Kicks is a subcompact crossover built for city driving, with 8.4 inches of standard ground clearance that puts it above several leading competitors in its class. Add available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and a fuel economy rating of up to 35 MPG highway, and the Kicks lineup at Nissan of Tustin works for Anaheim drivers who want a small SUV that still feels planted on the road.
The Kicks pairs 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque with a fuel economy rating of 28 MPG city and 35 MPG highway. Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive adds grip in slick conditions, and the standard 8.4 inches of ground clearance gives it an edge over rivals like the Hyundai Kona and Chevrolet Trax on the way to Orange or Riverside.
Available 19-inch alloy wheels give the Kicks a bolder stance for street parking around Anaheim, while the cabin is built around an available 12.3 inch dual monolith display that keeps driving data front and center. Wireless smartphone connectivity and an available wireless charging pad cut down on cables during a quick commute or a longer drive out to Riverside.
The available Intelligent Around View Monitor gives a virtual 360 degree view for tighter parking spots around Orange, and ProPILOT Assist is available for extra confidence on longer freeway stretches. Music fans can step up to the available Bose Personal Plus Audio System, which builds UltraNearfield speakers into the front headrests for sound tailored to the driver.
The 2026 Kicks keeps building on a formula that’s already picked up outside recognition, carrying the Consumer Guide Automotive Best Buy Award for a fourth year running and the Texas Auto Writers Association’s Subcompact SUV of the Year title. It also holds an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK rating, which applies to Kicks models built after July 2024, giving buyers a clear look at where the current Kicks stands against its competition.
Between tight parking around Anaheim, longer stretches out toward Riverside, and the daily grind through Orange, the Kicks leans on its ground clearance and available AWD to handle more than a typical subcompact SUV. The Intelligent Around View Monitor makes parallel parking less stressful in denser areas, and the fuel economy numbers keep gas station stops from piling up during a normal week of errands and commuting.
Nissan of Tustin keeps the Kicks in stock alongside the rest of the new Nissan lineup for Orange County shoppers, and the finance team helps buyers apply for financing that fits their situation. Drivers with a vehicle to replace can use the value your trade tool to see its worth before settling on a Kicks trim. Once the Kicks is home, the dealership’s service center keeps it running with genuine OEM parts, and owners can schedule a service visit whenever it’s due.
