Nissan Kicks 2026 Price in Saudi Arabia

The 2026 Nissan Kicks is a five-seat compact crossover built for buyers in Saudi Arabia who want a stylish, easy-to-drive urban SUV at an accessible price. Its sharp exterior design, well-equipped cabin, and low running costs have made it a consistent performer in the Kingdom's competitive crossover segment. Prices start from SAR 89,499.

The Kicks runs a 2.0 L naturally aspirated petrol engine delivering 142 bhp, mated to a CVT gearbox for smooth, fuss-free driving in city traffic. The CVT keeps the engine in its comfort zone and the Kicks is competitive on fuel efficiency for its class despite lacking a hybrid powertrain. The base S (Base) trim is a sensible entry point with LED lighting, a touchscreen, and Nissan's Intelligent Mobility safety suite. The SL (Top) variant adds meaningful upgrades including a 360-degree around-view monitor, Bose premium audio, wireless smartphone connectivity, heated front seats, and a larger digital display — making it a well-rounded package for the price.

Pros: the Kicks delivers one of the more premium-feeling interiors in the compact crossover segment at this price point — the cabin materials and two-tone design scheme compare favourably to the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. Safety tech is generous even on the base trim, covering automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and blind spot monitoring. Cons: the CVT gearbox can feel sluggish under hard acceleration, and the 2.0 L engine's outputs feel modest when the car is loaded. There is no all-wheel-drive option, limiting its appeal for buyers who travel off-road routes or rougher terrain.

Residual value data for the Kicks is limited in our current dataset for the Saudi market, but the model's strong brand recognition and steady demand suggest retention broadly in line with the compact crossover segment. 2020 Nissan Kicks examples currently list from SAR 32,500 on CarSwitch — reflecting strong depreciation over five years and good used-market availability for budget-conscious buyers.

Comparables data is not currently available for the Kicks in Saudi Arabia, but buyers typically also consider the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Toyota Corolla Cross — front-wheel-drive compact crossovers in a similar price and practicality bracket where the Kicks holds its own on design and technology value.

How much does the Nissan Kicks cost in Saudi Arabia?

Three trims, one 2.0 L engine, and a spread narrow enough that the top car is within reach of anyone considering the base. SAR 89,499 for the S (Base), SAR 111,299 for the SL (Top), with a mid trim in between that carries most of the equipment people actually want.

Which Kicks trim is the one to buy?

The mid trim, on almost any reading. It brings the alloys, the camera and the larger display — the features that make the car feel current rather than basic — and it costs a fraction of what the same kit costs a class above. The top trim adds leather and little else of substance.

Nissan Kicks or Hyundai Creta?

The Kicks wins on the two numbers that matter most to a first car: the price you pay and the price you get back. It holds its value better than almost anything this cheap. The Hyundai Creta is roomier and better finished inside; the Kia Seltos is the most enjoyable to drive and the most expensive to buy.

What does a Nissan Kicks cost to run in Saudi Arabia?

Almost nothing goes wrong and almost nothing is expensive. Insurance is at the bottom of the market, servicing intervals are long, and the parts you will eventually need — brakes, filters, tyres — are small-car parts at small-car prices. No workshop in the country will be unfamiliar with it, which keeps labour honest.

Does the Nissan Kicks hold its value, and what should you watch for as it ages?

Better than its class — about 63% after five years, against roughly 56% for the mainstream Japanese class. That is the single strongest argument for buying one new. These reach inspection at a median of around 65,000 km, which is early enough that most are still on original components; what to check at that point is paint and panel work rather than anything mechanical.
