It's a key part of any good SUV: You need to trust that it will take you where you want to go and do so reliably. From the ground up, the Nissan Kicks is designed to make your drives more fun, with plenty of energy left over for the next chapter.
The experts at Nissan have been hard at work mastering their craft, and that's evident in the Kicks. Its compact size houses plenty of quality engineering that will make you eager to hit the road and start exploring both near and far. While performance output varies based on the trim level you choose, many Kicks vehicles offer this balanced performance output:
| Engine | 1.6L 4-cylinder engine |
|---|---|
| Horsepower | 122 HP |
| Torque | 114 lb-ft |
| Drivetrain | Front-Wheel Drive |
The Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission) system makes merging and acceleration even smoother. It makes constant micro-adjustments to account for engine power. Providing seamless acceleration onto the highway and around tight city corners makes this SUV a true pro.
One thing every driver can agree on is the importance of fuel efficiency. A vehicle with a higher fuel efficiency lets you travel farther distances with fewer stops to the gas station--talk about a win-win situation!
The Nissan Kicks uses its sporty engineering and compact size to its advantage to achieve impressive fuel economy. Many of its configurations earn an estimated 7.7 city/6.6 highway L/100 km rating.** Think about all the extra places you could visit while confidently passing by the gas station.
Building an SUV from the ground up takes a skillful eye. It has to perform to meet your standards and look appealing as it zips through the city. Luckily, the Nissan Kicks has it all regarding striking and functional design.
As a compact SUV, the Nissan Kicks has an athletic build that makes it easy to take tight corners, navigate narrow alleyways, and slip through crowded traffic patterns. Most trim levels are paired with these mindful dimensions:

|---|---|
| Width | 1,760 mm (69.3 in.) |

Despite its compact size, the Nissan Kicks offers plenty of room inside, allowing you to transport furniture and weekend bags alike. Depending on the Nissan Kicks you choose, you'll likely have a range of 716 to 914 litres of potential storage space.
Big-personality features found inside the Kicks may include Prima-Tex™ upholstery, accent stitching, and chrome interior accents, depending on which configuration you choose.
Your vehicle says a lot about your personality. When you drive a Nissan Kicks, you let others know that you're a fun-loving, free-spirited individual who isn't afraid to stand out. This is reflected with the bold design of the Kicks. Many Nissan Kicks trim levels offer two-tone colour options with a black contrast roof. Which of these striking shades will you pair with the contrast roof:
While the Kicks is designed to be daring, it also speaks to your professional side with its sleek contours. Stainless steel exhaust finishers, LED headlights with signature accents, and a dark chrome grille are just a few of the optional accents that give the Kicks a professional edge.
