2026 Chevrolet Trax vs. the 2026 Nissan KICKS

2026 Chevrolet Trax

With a compact SUV, spirited performance meets versatile cabin space. When people are shopping for one, they often compare the 2026 Chevrolet Trax vs the 2026 Nissan KICKS. We're comparing both models at Gillman Chevrolet GMC to illustrate why the Chevy SUV is the one that you need.

Exciting Power

There's an ECOTEC 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2026 Chevrolet Trax, which generates up to 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. The 2026 Nissan KICKS has nearly identical horsepower, although it's slightly higher with 141 horsepower. However, it only generates up to 140 lb-ft of torque, which gives it a slower acceleration time. According to Car and Driver, the Chevy SUV accelerates to 60 mph in 8.8 seconds, while it takes nine seconds in the Nissan SUV.

Comfortable Cabin

Even though their front-row legroom is nearly identical, there's 38.7 inches of rear legroom in the 2026 Chevy Trax, as opposed to just 34.5 inches in the 2026 Nissan Kicks. That gives your rear passengers an extra four inches to stretch out. Many Chevy Trax models feature Evotex seating surfaces, which is a premium faux leather, while the Nissan Kicks only offers seats with a leatherette trim in select models. There are also select Chevy Trax models that come with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, which are features only available in an add-on package with the Nissan Kicks.

Safety Features

Both SUVs are standouts in terms of safety and come equipped with a wealth of advanced safety and driver-assistance features. However, Chevrolet SUVs don't just feature intuitive safety features, they also come with OnStar® services. That includes a range of services such as roadside assistance, automatic crash response, stolen vehicle assistance, and more. The 2026 Chevy Trax is also available with OnStar® One, which adds additional safety services, Wi-Fi, and in-vehicle apps.
