Inside, the KICKS impresses with unique interior trims that blend robust functionality with cocoon-like comfort. The Panoramic Sunroof offers additional light and airiness into the cabin, with a new design that intrudes less into headroom and reduces wind noise. Adding to its premium appeal, drivers and passengers also benefit from a roomier cabin with increased shoulder room and knee room in both rows. As a first for KICKS, both rows of seats use Nissan’s Zero Gravity™ seating design, helping distribute weight and pressure across occupants’ bodies for increased comfort and reduced fatigue.

The dual 12.3-inch monolith display gives an advanced look and increased visibility with horizontal eye movement, with two view options: classic or enhanced displays. The displays thoughtfully crafted ensure improved visibility and hand reach for the touch screen. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ enable occupants to seamlessly connect their devices, while charging is made possible through the two USB Type-C ports provided within the cabin.

Enhanced from the outgoing KICKS, the system adds headrest speakers for the passenger’s seat in addition to the driver’s seat. Introducing a first for the Nissan KICKS on the safety front, drivers benefit from ProPILOT and a collection of active and passive safety features. These include Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Intervention, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Prevention, and High Beam Assist. Powerful 2.0L Engine with Best-in-Class Fuel Economy All KICKS grades employ a 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine rated for 142 horsepower and 190 Nm of torque, coupled to the latest generation of Nissan’s Xtronic CVT transmission. Together, the new KICKS delivers confident acceleration for highway passing, thanks to the responsive transmission and the engine’s strong low- and mid-range torque. In addition to its dynamic performance, the all-new KICKS boasts a best-in-class fuel economy, achieved through innovative engineering that enhances both aerodynamics and engine efficiency. Features such as full flat undercovers optimize airflow, reducing drag and improving the fuel economy. Furthermore, cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) reduces combustion temperatures, promoting better fuel economy and further minimizing emissions.
