If you are looking for a standout car in the subcompact SUV class, then the 2023 Nissan Kicks is the vehicle to look at. Its gorgeous, two-tone styling married to its power, economy of ownership, and advanced technical features are high on the list of factors that distinguish the Kicks from the rest of the class.
Trim Levels
The 2023 Kicks lineup has three trim levels: the S, the SV, and the SR. The range of features incorporated and available are the main differentiators, with the SV and SR having an upscaled media panel, both front and rear disk brakes, and an electronic parking brake included.
The top-of-the-range SR is also fitted with further additional characteristics, such as LED headlights with accents, fog lights, and an automatic temperature control system. It also has available a special option package that includes heated front seats and a vehicle security system.
Exterior Styling
The exterior styling of the Kicks is eye-catching. An attractive rounded front end with a combative-looking chrome grill (dark chrome on the SR) gives the car immense presence, while its subtle two-tone coloring makes it stand out from the crowd. The wheels complement the overall stylizing. The base S model has 16-inch wheels, while the SV and SR models have striking 17-inch alloys.
Interior Styling
The intelligent layout of the interior makes perfect use of the inside space. The Kicks accommodates five people comfortably on lavishly upholstered cloth seats, with the rear row being able to be split in a 60/40 configuration for added space.
The cargo space is exceptionally generous, with 25.3 cu ft of room with the rear seats still upright and 32.3 when they are lowered. Access through the lift hatch is easy as it has a sizable 47-inch opening aperture, making loading a breeze.
Technology Features
Technology is at the heart of the Kicks, with plenty of advanced features included or available across the lineup. At the center is a 7-inch multimedia touch panel, which includes Drive-Assist functionality on the SV and SR models. Connectivity to both Apple and Android systems is straightforward, and the technology is connected to a six-speaker audio system.
Engine Performance
A 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine is used across all three models in the lineup. The unit has plenty of power, generating up to 122 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque, yet still providing an amazing 31 and 36 mpg for driving in the city and for highway driving, respectively.
The powertrain’s other essential element is the Nissan Xtronic, a continuously variable transmission that distributes power to the front wheels, improving acceleration while maintaining superb fuel efficiency.
As you can see, the 2023 Kicks turn the practical need for driving into a fun and pleasurable one while keeping the overall cost of motoring low. Drop by at Stevens Creek Nissan today, and we will arrange a test drive of one of the latest models for you.
