Interior and Cargo Features
The Kicks is Nissan's smallest SUV, but it still offers a lot of space throughout the cabin. Climbing in and out of it is simple enough, thanks to the wide door openings. The Kicks offers more cargo space than most of its competition in the subcompact SUV segment, with plenty of well-sized small-item storage areas dispersed throughout the cabin. The storage areas help easily stash your cell phone or electronics, house keys, purse, wallet, or anything else you need to keep covered up. The pocket in front of the gear shifter offers an excellent slot of space, and there is a configurable cupholder that can be turned into a medium-sized storage cubby as needed. Aside from the doors, there are quite a few premium materials used inside the cabin. The leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob on the SR trim level looks and feels high quality.
2021 Nissan Kicks Performance Features
The Nissan Kicks comes powered by a standard four-cylinder engine that generates 122 horsepower. A continuously variable transmission is paired with it and sends the engine's power to the two front wheels. The Nissan Kicks is exclusively a front-wheel-drive vehicle. The SV trim level adds rear disc brakes for improved braking performance. Its suspension feels quick to respond and helps the Kicks stay composed while rounding through tight corners. The continuously variable transmission has gear shift ratio adjustments that are responsive and smooth during everyday driving. It avoids the common problem Continuously variable transmission tends to have of being slow to shift. While the Kicks is somewhat slow to accelerate, it stays there with no abrupt interruptions in power flow to the front wheels once it gets in motion.
