Don’t let its amazingly low price tag fool you. The 2024 Nissan Kicks comes packed with a host of compelling features that promises a genuinely enjoyable drive. The subcompact SUV has sleek, head-turning style to boot. Let’s take an in-depth look at each of the three trims offered by the Kicks.
Kicks S
The base S model is motivated by the naturally aspirated 1.6L inline-4 that comes standard across the lineup. Through Nissan’s engaging Xtronic continuously variable transmission, the engine delivers 122 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque to the drive wheels. This performance combines with the vehicle’s low curb weight of just over 2,600 pounds to provide brisk acceleration. An independent front suspension and stabilizer bars promote solid handling.
Stylish 16-inch steel wheels are standard, plus buyers may add a rear spoiler for an extra touch of sportiness. Standard driver assist technologies, such as hill start assist, lane departure monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alerts mean that you can rest easy while navigating through town. The Kicks S has an inviting, spacious cabin that comfortably seats five adults and features a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen system with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay integration.
Kicks SV
With its 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, silver roof rails, and body-colored side mirrors and door handles, the Kicks SV is easily distinguishable from the Kicks S. Performance and handling is identical to the entry trim, though drivers can also take advantage of the even greater stopping power provided by the SV’s front and rear disc brakes.
The Nissan Intelligent Key system lets you enter the vehicle and unlock the trunk without needing to insert the key or press a button on the key fob. The system knows when the key has been locked inside the vehicle the instant you shut the door, so there’s no need to worry about locking yourself out. Step inside and you’ll see that the gauge cluster now includes a 7-inch digital display that shows information like navigation directions and incoming calls.
Kicks SR
LED headlights with signature accents, a dark chrome grille, and black roof rails make the Kicks SR the most racy-looking trim. The model’s interior features similarly sporty enhancements, with its Prima-Tex upholstered dashboard and premium cloth-wrapped seats accented by orange stitching. The Kicks’ riding experience becomes cozier with the addition of an automatic climate control system that can be started remotely.
Coming standard on the Kicks SR is the Intelligent Around View Monitor, a 4-camera system that simulates a 360-degree top-down-view of the vehicle, granting you better awareness of your immediate surroundings. The available Premium Package brings a layer of luxury to the cabin by adding Prima-Tex upholstery for the seats, heating for the steering wheel and front seats, and an 8-speaker Bose premium audio system.
