Nissan Kicks is so much fun to drive, but it could use a little more oomph than its 122 max horsepower and 114 lb-ft peak torque. Its 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine is married to Nissan’s Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) and this powertrain achieves a fuel economy rating of 31 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway for a combined 33-mpg average.
Putting the power discussion aside, 2022 Kicks’ standard package does come with a remarkable feature list, including Forward Collision Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Automatic Braking. All this and more added to a whole host of entertainment technologies makes for a fun and safe driving experience.
