2023 Nissan Kicks

When you're looking into the 2023 Nissan Kicks, you can choose among three trims: S, SV, and SR. The base trim includes 16-inch steel wheels with plastic wheel covers, while the SV trim adds 17-inch alloy wheels and silver roof rails. The top-of-the-line SR trim comes with several exterior upgrades including LED headlights and foglights, dark chrome grille trim, and a rear roof spoiler.

The 2023 Kicks only has one engine option, but it produces plenty of power to get you wherever you need to go. Its 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine produces 122 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission along with front-wheel drive.

If you're looking for a vehicle that achieves excellent gas mileage, consider the 2023 Kicks. Expect to get an EPA-estimated 31 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. The SUV's small size makes it easy to drive through congested city streets, while its suspension smooths out the bumps in the road.

Despite its diminutive exterior, the 2023 Nissan Kicks has spacious seating and enough room for all five passengers to stretch their legs. The driver sits high enough up to easily see the roadway. If you want true interior luxury, opt for the SR trim that includes heated front seats, a leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel, and a sporty cloth or simulated leather upholstery. The Kicks' cargo area is where the vehicle stands out. It has 25.3 cubic feet of space behind the 60/40 split-folding rear seats and 32.3 cubic feet of space when you fold down the seats. The 2023 Kicks comes standard with a 7-inch touchscreen display where you can access the vehicle's infotainment system, which has an intuitive layout and quick response times. Other features found in the base trim include three USB ports, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto connectivity. If those amenities aren't enough, you can add an 8-inch touchscreen display, an extra USB port, a Wi-Fi hotspot, satellite radio, and a premium stereo. Many of these add-on features are part of the new Technology package.

You and your travelers can ride safely, thanks to almost a dozen standard safety features found in the 2023 Kicks. Some of the more noteworthy ones, most of which are found in the Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite of features, include forward and reverse automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high-beam headlights, and rear parking sensors. Several add-on features include driver-attention monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and a surround-view parking camera system.
