Editor's notes
Nissan has renewed the Kicks SUV, bringing it closer into line with the rest of the class. It remains one of the more affordable subcompact SUVs, even with the new option of all-wheel drive (AWD). As is often the case in this segment, the previous model wasn’t easy to get excited about. However, the reimagined Kicks should generate some enthusiasm. Nissan delivers an array of advanced tech in even the entry-level model. There is adequate passenger space to transport a small family. Moreover, stepping up the trim ladder adds content worthy of the higher price, like a huge dual digital display. All in all, the whole thing feels like Nissan has spent time and money getting the recipe right.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this collection of subcompact SUVs, including the Nissan Kicks.
