The “cheap” SUV with tech your brain can’t match

The all-new second-gen Nissan KICKS lands in the UAE from AED 79,900 with ProPILOT highway assist, Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Around View Monitor, and a huge 24.6-inch dash display.

2026 Nissan KICKS UAE: ProPILOT, 360 cam, AED 79,900

Nissan’s all-new, second-generation KICKS is basically a reminder that “affordable crossover” doesn’t have to mean “barebones”. The UAE model kicks off at AED 79,900, and it’s being pitched around one main idea: safety and driver assistance tech that actually matters in daily Dubai driving. Think highway assist, smarter collision warnings, and cameras that make tight parking less of a personality test.

The second-gen Nissan KICKS arrives in the UAE from AED 79,900 through Arabian Automobiles.
ProPILOT helps with steering, braking, and acceleration on highways (you still drive).
Safety kit includes Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, plus lane and blind-spot interventions.
Around View Monitor uses four cameras for a bird’s-eye view (hello, Dubai Marina parking).
Top trims lean hard into screens and comfort, including a 24.6-inch “Monolith” display, Bose audio, and a panoramic sunroof.

ProPILOT takes the edge off highway driving

This is the headline feature: driver assistance designed for motorway runs and stop-start traffic.

Handles steering, acceleration, and braking on highways
Let's you set speed and following distance
Helps keep you centred in your lane
Still requires an attentive driver (no nap time, sorry)

If you do Sheikh Zayed Road at the wrong hour, you already know why this matters. The point isn’t “self-driving”. It’s reducing the constant micro-stress of keeping pace, holding lane position, and dealing with speed changes. Used properly, it makes longer drives feel less draining.

The crash-avoidance kit is properly stacked

Nissan didn’t stop at the basics. The KICKS leans on systems that aim to spot trouble early and react fast.

Predictive Forward Collision Warning monitors two vehicles ahead
Automatic Emergency Braking support
Pedestrian Detection support
Blind Spot Intervention can gently guide you back if you drift
Lane Departure Prevention helps keep you in lane

The “two cars ahead” part is the key detail. It’s designed to give you an earlier warning when traffic compresses suddenly, which is exactly how small bumps turn into big traffic jams.

360 cameras for UAE parking reality

Some features sound boring until you use them once. Around View Monitor is one of those.

Around View Monitor stitches four cameras into a bird’s-eye view
Helps with parallel parking and tight spaces
Makes it easier to judge kerbs, corners, and “that one pillar” in the car park

In areas like Jumeirah or Dubai Marina, where parking feels like a competitive sport, a clear top-down view can save your alloys (and your mood).

Big-screen cabin tech and the comfort extras

If you’re going up the range, the cabin gets a lot more “nice place to be” than you’d expect from a compact crossover.

On SL trim: 24.6-inch Monolith Digital Display across the dash
Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto as standard
Wireless charging for your phone
10-speaker Bose audio system
Panoramic sunroof and ambient LED lighting

The main win here is usability: fewer cables, clearer screens, and controls where you’d expect them. It’s the kind of everyday convenience that you notice more than performance stats.

Price, availability, and aftersales in the UAE

Here’s what the release makes clear for UAE buyers.

Starting price: AED 79,900
Dealer: Arabian Automobiles Company (AAC) for Dubai, Sharjah, and the Northern Emirates
Available across multiple showrooms in those emirates
Comes with 5-year warranty and 5 years of roadside assistance

If you’re cross-shopping compact crossovers mainly on safety and tech, this is the KICKS’ whole argument: more assistance features, without pushing you into a much higher price bracket.
