Which Trim Wins Your Toronto Drive?
Are you navigating tight parallel parking spots in downtown Toronto? Do you tackle slushy winter commutes on the DVP? You need a vehicle that blends urban agility with ironclad winter confidence. The Nissan Kicks answers that call perfectly.
Nissan completely transformed this subcompact crossover, introducing bolder styling, more room, and a massive mechanical upgrade that Ontario drivers requested for years.
Our team often hear the same debate amongst our customers: "With so many options available, which Kicks configuration actually fits my life?" Let’s break down the lineup so you can find your perfect match.
Before looking at individual trim levels, you must choose between two generations of Kicks. Nissan currently sells both options side by side to ensure every budget finds a home.
If you select the redesigned, new-generation Kicks, you receive a wealth of upgrades that completely alter the driving experience:
To help you decide what these features mean for your monthly payment and daily commute, we mapped out the core differences across the three primary trims.

The S trim proves that a base model never has to feel basic. This variant targets commuters who want modern safety and seamless smartphone connectivity without paying for extra luxury frills.
The SV trim represents a sweet spot for many of our shoppers. It injects premium convenience into your daily drive.
If you want the absolute best performance, distinct curb appeal, and cutting-edge technology that Nissan offers, the SR trim awaits you.
Reading about the upgraded 2.0L engine and the high-clearance AWD system is one thing—feeling it grip the road is another.
Our team stands ready to hand you the keys. We will set up a side-by-side comparison so you can sit in the ultra-comfortable Zero Gravity seats of the redesigned Kicks, contrast it with the budget-friendly Kicks Play, and experience the Bose headrest audio system for yourself.
