Nissan Kicks
Introduced as part of a new generation of small SUVs from Nissan in 2018, the Kicks is known primarily for providing some SUV-like qualities for car buyers on a budget. Though you won’t be hitting the trails in this pint-sized ride, Kicks owners will enjoy a vehicle that is surprisingly roomy and outfitted with an impressive list of standard tech features, perfectly suited for an urban dweller.

Nissan Kicks Model Lineup
The Kicks is the true embodiment of a subcompact crossover SUV, despite its ability to seat up to five people. In fact, it ranks as the smallest SUV in Nissan’s lineup, slotting below the Nissan Rogue Sport, which is nearly four inches larger than the Kicks.
Nissan offers the Kicks in three main trims: S, SV, and SR. And since its introduction in 2018, the Kicks’ powertrain options have remained virtually unchanged, as each trim level comes with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (122 horsepower, 114 lb-ft of torque), a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), and front-wheel drive. The SV and SR trims essentially offer added style, convenience, and tech features compared to the base-level S. No all-wheel drive or hybrid option is offered with the Kicks.

It is a tight fit so the cup holders are hard to get to.

2018 Nissan Kicks S
The vehicle is silent and a smooth ride. The trunk is petite but folds down. It comes with everything you need spare tire and premium tires. The Bluetooth system is clear and has a easy transition to other drivers.

It's a lot roomier than it looks! Cargo capacity exceeds my expectations. Lots of headroom. It has some great features that I didn't expect.

Overall good car. Slow acceleration at start but keeps up with traffic once you get there. Good trunk space. Plenty of leg and head room for taller people.
