Performance

You will have plenty of verve at your command when you drive a 2026 Trax. That’s because it has a standard ECOTEC 1.2L turbocharged engine, which creates 137 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque. The Nissan Kicks has similar energy output, offering up to 141 horsepower and 140 lb.-ft. of torque with its standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. The Kicks won’t go quite as far, however. Its standard 11.8-gallon fuel capacity is considerably less than the standard 13.2-gallon fuel tank in the Chevy Trax. Both of these vehicles offer a standard Automatic Stop-Start feature that helps you conserve energy while you’re in traffic on Interstate 88. That being said, the Kicks does have a 31 MPG combined¹ fuel economy rating, which is slightly greater than the 30 MPG combined² efficiency score.

Safety

Having a vehicle with numerous safety features can increase your peace of mind whenever you cruise around Lisle. Luckily, the 2026 Chevrolet Trax has many such systems, starting with the standard Teen Driver³ technology. This lets you track and record a new pilot’s driving progress, but the 2026 Nissan Kicks doesn’t offer such a feature. You can find a standard Rear Park Assist^3,4 system in both cars, so you won’t have any trouble getting into a tight space when you arrive at Hidden Lake Forest Preserve. If you ever swerve on your way to work, the standard Lane Keep Assist³ system in the Trax will keep you safe by guiding you back into place. The Kicks has a similar feature, but it is only available on higher trim levels.
