The entry-level Nissan Kicks is the S trim, which is equipped with a 1.6-liter I4 motor that provides an output of 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is matched with Nissan’s signature Xtronic transmission and an urban-ready FWD drivetrain. You can expect this compact crossover to have a fuel economy of 31 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the freeway.
Cargo space is a major highlight for this Nissan SUV. When the second-row seat is upright, this five-passenger SUV can accommodate 24.3 cubic feet of cargo, which is terrific for carting sporting gear or groceries. The second-row seat folds down to extend the cargo area and increase the cargo volume of the Kicks to 53.1 cubic feet.
Exterior
The S model has 16-inch steel wheels with all-season tires for durable on-road performance no matter the weather conditions. This model has manual-folding side mirrors, so you can tuck the mirrors close to the SUV body when you park near walls or pillars. The sporty appearance of this SUV is highlighted by the black front and rear bumpers and chrome grille.
The S model has standard halogen headlights that can automatically switch between low and high beams depending on the surrounding traffic, thanks to advanced features like High Beam Assist and Intelligent Auto Headlights. When sensors detect oncoming traffic, the SUV will immediately turn off the high beam bulbs to avoid flashing other drivers.
Interior
In addition to flexible seating arrangements with the 60/40 split-folding second-row seat, the S model has tons of convenience features. Standard smartphone and Bluetooth connectivity can be managed on the seven-inch multimedia touchscreen. The USB connectivity options also support streaming music on the six-speaker audio system via your iPod.
Safety
The Kicks comes with a robust collection of driver-assistance technology. The Automatic Emergency Braking system has built-in pedestrian detection that can help drivers avoid jaywalking accidents in urban driving situations. The Rear Automatic Braking system is accented with technology that can detect rear cross-traffic or other obstacles behind the vehicle with a rear sonar system. This model also has a blind-spot warning system that lets drivers know when it’s safe to switch lanes. A compact vehicle like the Nissan Kicks is the best choice for urban drivers who want to save on fuel costs. Drop by Ken Ganley Nissan Mayfield in Mayfield Heights, OH for a test drive.
