Hockley Valley Resort sits just 15 minutes north of Orangeville, making it one of the most accessible ski destinations for Ontario families. Getting there with skis, boots, poles, helmets, and layers for everyone requires smart cargo space. The 2026 Nissan Kicks delivers exactly that, with up to 1,700 L of cargo capacity and thoughtful storage features designed for winter sports trips.
From quick afternoon runs to full-day family outings, the Kicks makes it easy to fit everything you need without playing Tetris in the trunk. Here's how this compact crossover handles winter sports gear for families in Orangeville and the surrounding area.
The 2026 Kicks offers 850 L of cargo space with the rear seats upright (FWD models)—enough for two sets of skis, poles, and a few gear bags. Fold the 60/40 split rear seats down, and that capacity expands to 1,700 L, providing room for multiple sets of equipment, winter clothing, and even a cooler for post-ski snacks.
For families with longer skis or snowboards, the split-folding rear seats let you carry passengers in one seat while extending gear through the other side. This flexibility means you don't have to choose between bringing extra people or extra equipment.
AWD models offer slightly less cargo volume (677 L with seats up, 1,419 L with seats down) due to the all-wheel-drive system, but still provide more than enough space for a family ski trip to Hockley Valley.
Hockley Valley's access roads can see heavy snow accumulation during peak ski season. The Kicks provides 214 mm of ground clearance, giving you confidence when navigating snow-covered parking lots or unplowed side roads near the resort.
Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive adds extra traction control, and the Snow drive mode adjusts throttle response and power distribution for better grip on slippery surfaces. These features help you focus on the drive instead of worrying about road conditions.
Ski trips involve more than just skis. Goggles, gloves, hand warmers, sunscreen, and snacks all need a place to go. The Kicks includes:
These details make it easier to keep everyone's gear organized and accessible, especially when you're dealing with multiple layers, wet gloves, and the inevitable "I can't find my goggles" moment.
Hockley Valley is close enough for frequent visits, and the Kicks keeps fuel costs manageable. FWD models achieve 8.1 L/100 km city and 6.6 L/100 km highway, while AWD models deliver 8.5 L/100 km city and 6.9 L/100 km highway.
For families making multiple trips throughout the season, these fuel economy numbers add up to real savings compared to larger SUVs or trucks.
The 2026 Kicks includes a standard 12.3-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can easily navigate to Hockley Valley or stream music for the drive. Available Remote Engine Start (SV and SR grades) lets you warm up the cabin and defrost the windows before loading gear on cold mornings.
Rear Door Alert is standard across all grades, providing an extra reminder to check the back seat before heading into the resort—helpful when you're juggling gear bags, ski boots, and excited kids.
