Why it stands out

The 2023 Nissan Kicks stands out as a value-focused subcompact SUV that prioritizes efficiency, practicality, and low running costs over outright performance. It uses a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with 125 horsepower and 115 lb-ft of torque, paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission, and it delivers EPA estimates of 31 miles per gallon in the city, 36 mpg on the highway, and 33 mpg combined. That combination makes it appealing to buyers who want a simple, economical daily driver rather than a quick one.

It also offers a useful set of standard features for the class. The base S model includes Bluetooth connectivity and a seven-inch infotainment screen, while the mid-level SV adds aluminum wheels, push-button start, and a digital information screen in the gauge cluster. The range-topping SR brings LED headlights, additional exterior trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a 360-degree intelligent around view monitor camera. A Premium Package for the SR adds heated front seats and an upgraded Bose Personal Plus Audio System.

For 2023, the Kicks also benefits from the refresh that brought updated exterior styling with a new grille and upgraded interior materials, along with standard safety and driver assistance equipment such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, high beam assist, and rear automatic braking. Its main limitation remains the same one that defines much of its character: it is not fast, and buyers who want stronger acceleration or all-wheel drive will need to look elsewhere.
