Prepare to be Pleasantly Surprised by the 2023 Nissan Kicks

Nissan’s 2023 Kicks comes with a tiny price tag and is among the cheapest in its segment with a fantastic fuel economy. The interior is practical and cargo-friendly, especially with its rear seats folded down. All models come with the same 122-hp four-cylinder, front-wheel drive, and continuously-variable automatic transmission (CVT). The Kicks’ affordable price makes it attractive to budget buyers without having to make compromises when it comes to infotainment and driver-assistance tech. Even the standard 2023 Nissan Kicks offers a lot of those features.

The Fuel Economy of 2023 Nissan Kicks

The Kicks’ fuel economy varies wildly based on driving style, but it doesn’t take much to keep the average above 30 mpg. Expect an easy 31 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. Overall, this is a pretty frugal SUV but that’s not the case when it comes to the tech.

The Tech is a Surprise Package for Drivers

The base S-trim level includes a host of standard driver-assistance features. In the mid-range, you get items like an 8-inch infotainment display, adaptive cruise control, 17-inch wheels, and a center-console armrest. Around town, the drive feels supremely perky. The compact SUV is more agile and fun to throw around than some larger SUVs. The suspension is tuned for comfort and provides a well-cushioned ride even on not-so-good roads.

The Tech is Modern

The Kicks has nearly everything a modern smartphone-using driver needs. A quartet of USB ports is standard, as is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. A 7-inch or 8-inch touchscreen is also standard depending on the trim level. The Kicks comes standard with a pleasing number of advanced driving aids including traffic-adaptive cruise control. The optional surround-view parking camera system is a rare feature at this price point, and it’s a big help for parking in tight spots. If you wish to take it for a spin, click here.
