The Drive
As informed by the Salinas Nissan dealer, the Kick is till now available with only one powertrain, the one which gushes out a 125-horsepower, from a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine making 115 pounds-feet of torque. All this gets support from a continuously variable automatic transmission. From the driver’s angle Kicks feels surprisingly light, in all its trim levels. Thanks to the weight that doesn’t cross 2,700 pounds.
The pleasure of driving a Nissan Kicks continues with loads of pleasant moments including its cornering ability and the dynamic control features that works on an Active Trace and Ride Control, to make the drivers feel better when the ARC uses the throttle. The brakes on the other side help in minimizing body pitch when driving on uneven bumps and potholes. Though not a sports car, yet the Kicks remains composed during sharp turns and edges.
Apart from these, the aspect that can’t be ignored is the driver’s seat that has the right position with the right amount of visibility. The windshield and the side windows are tall and huge to provide great sightlines, while the roofline of the car is placed 4 to 5 inches above from the eyeline.
The Interior
When we talk about interiors, the roominess in Kicks is the first thing to notice. Like any other Nissan vehicle it does provide the best-in-class front headroom and even the legroom. The same continues in the backseat as well without any compromise with a gap of 3 or 4 inches allowed in between the heads and the headliner.
The high windows push the Kicks higher in its class in terms of the interior size and volume. The cargo room behind the seats is a huge 25.3 cubic feet leaving the Honda HR-V (24.3 cubic feet) behind.
Technology Cluster
