Nissan has dropped the first images of their new entry-level SUV, the Nissan Kait 2026. Set to hit dealerships this December, it’s a redesigned and refreshed version of the veteran Kicks with an updated look but retaining its reliable engine.
Key Takeaways
- The Kait will start selling on December 11th as Nissan’s new cheapest SUV.
- Priced from R$117,990 to R$152,990 for the top model, it’s aimed at competing with Renault Kardian and Fiat Pulse.
- Despite its age, the 1.6-liter engine remains unchanged, delivering up to 113 hp and a spacious interior.
The Nissan Kait is getting an update that keeps things familiar for fans while adding fresh appeal. The car will be available in four versions: Active, Sense Plus, Advance Plus, and Exclusive, each offering more features as you go up the line.
Produced at Resende (RJ), this new model replaces the Kicks Play which had a short run of less than one year. It’s set to hit stores next week with pre-orders starting today, December 3rd. The car will also roll out in other Latin American markets early into 2026.
With its strong interior space and reliable engine, the Kait offers solid value for money as a family SUV. Even though it’s approaching ten years old, this model still stands tall with an impressive amount of cargo room—432 liters to be exact—and comfortable seating for everyone in your crew.
