Nissan Kicks Curb Weight: 2,692 lbs to 3,175 lbs

Nothing EPA files under Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD starts lighter than the Kicks's 2,692 lbs, and 97 of the 98 are heavier; the class median is 3,948 lbs.

At 61/39, the 2,692 lbs puts about 1,642 lbs on the front axle and 1,050 lbs on the rear — 592 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

The two axles are not the same width either: 59.8 in of track at the front against 60.2 in at the rear, 0.4 in narrower in front.

The lightest 2019 record is 2,646 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 2,692 lbs — 46 lbs heavier (1.7%).

At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 3,175 lbs against 2,646 lbs in 2019, a 529 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

Every body style recorded in both drive layouts gains exactly 185 lbs moving from two-wheel to four-wheel drive — about 6.2% of the two-wheel-drive figure.

The Play 4dr SUV is not a trim level on the same chassis. Its front track measures 59.8 in against 61.4 in on the standard body — -1.6 in wider — and the body is 69.3 in across.
