Among the list of standard features found on Kicks S are Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, three USB ports, keyless entry, push button start, roof rails and Intelligent Auto Headlights (I-AH).

Likes: Perky in-town power, smooth-shifting transmission, comfortable ride. Dislikes: Lacks highway passing power, noisy under heavy throttle, squishy brake pedal. All Kicks models are powered by a 125-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that provides adequate but far from thrilling acceleration.

Nissan's 2023 Kicks is a tiny SUV with a similarly tiny price tag. No shame there. It's strictly an on-roader thanks to its simple underpinnings and lack of available all-wheel drive. The Kicks' interior is at the very least practical and cargo-friendly, especially with its rear seats folded down.

The Kia Soul has more interior space and a longer warranty, but the Nissan Kicks returns better fuel economy and comfortable Zero Gravity front seats.

subcompact-crossover SUV The Nissan Kicks is entering its second model year in relatively unchanged fashion. This affordable subcompact-crossover SUV, a replacement of sorts for the discontinued Juke, is designed to meet the needs of singles or couples who are looking for expressive styling, abundant technology and advanced safety features.

"S" is for sport. If you're driving on twisty country roads and want to keep the RPM up as you wind through corners, the "S" position is where you want to be. In "S", the transmission holds lower gears longer for more power as you come out of the curves.

Nissan's smallest subcompact crossover is more of a budget car designed to appeal to those customers who would normally buy a Nissan Sentra or Versa but are attracted to the versatility and styling of an SUV. Unlike many crossovers, the Kicks doesn't offer all-wheel drive.
