In the bustling streets and vibrant neighborhoods of National City, finding the perfect vehicle that blends urban agility with family-friendly features is key. Enter the Nissan Kicks, an SUV that stands out as an ideal choice for small families and city dwellers alike. Let’s dive into what makes the Kicks a versatile companion for navigating our lively city.
Nissan Kicks: The Ultimate City SUV for Small Families in National City
Compact Yet Spacious
Despite its compact exterior, the Nissan Kicks surprises with a spacious interior that comfortably accommodates small families. The clever design maximizes cabin space, ensuring that both passengers and cargo have ample room. This means no compromises on grocery runs or when packing for a weekend getaway. The Kicks proves that you don't need a large SUV to enjoy spaciousness and comfort.
Passenger Capacity & Cargo Capacity
The Kicks offers comfortable seating for five passengers, with decent headroom and legroom for its size.
Cargo capacity is on the smaller side for an SUV, offering 18.1 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 32.3 cubic feet with the seats folded down.
City-Friendly Performance
The Nissan Kicks is tailored for the urban environment. Its size makes it perfect for zipping through narrow streets and fitting into those tight parking spots that are all too common in National City. Coupled with its efficient engine, the Kicks delivers on performance without sacrificing fuel economy, making it an economical choice for daily commutes and city adventures.
Performance
As of April 2024, there's a significant change to the Kicks' performance. Nissan equips the 2025 Kicks with a new engine:
- 2.0L 4-Cylinder Engine: This new engine replaces the previous 1.6-liter unit and boasts 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque, offering a noticeable improvement in acceleration and responsiveness. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) handles gear changes, and front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard with all-wheel drive (AWD) available as an option.
Efficiency
The new engine in the 2025 Kicks translates to improved fuel economy compared to the previous model:
- FWD models: Expect an estimated 31 mpg combined (city/highway figures not yet available).
- AWD models: See a slight decrease in fuel economy, with an estimated 29 mpg combined.
