Nissan has unveiled details about the redesigned Kicks, its popular subcompact crossover SUV, ahead of its U.S. launch. With the rising costs of new vehicles, finding affordable options is increasingly difficult. The new Kicks aims to stand out with a competitive price point that has caught the attention of American consumers.

The 2024 Kicks’ starting price is $21,830, approximately $3,000 less than the Kia Seltos’, which begins at $24,390. Despite its budget-friendly price, the new Kicks has the latest features and boasts a refreshed exterior design, making it an appealing choice for those looking to save.

The Kicks delivers a maximum output of 141 horsepower and features a larger body

The new Nissan Kicks features a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine paired with the Xtronic continuously variable transmission. This setup delivers a maximum output of 141 horsepower and 19.4 kgf.m of torque. The redesigned Kicks has also seen an increase in dimensions: it measures 4,366 mm (171.9 inches) in length, 1,800 mm (70.9 inches) in width, 1,630 mm (64.2 inches) in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,657 mm (104.6 inches). Compared to its predecessor, the length has increased by 56 mm (2.2 inches), the wheelbase by 37 mm (1.5 inches), the width by 40 mm (1.6 inches), and the height by 20 mm (0.8 inches).

Nissan notes that these size increases translate into more interior space, with shoulder room expanding by 43 mm (1.7 inches) and second-row legroom growing by 22 mm (0.9 inches). The Kicks’ exterior design has also been updated to reflect these changes. The front grille has been redesigned with a right-angle shape and enlarged for a more spacious appearance.

A larger radiator grille and three-line daytime running lights

The new Kicks’ headlamps retain their sleek design, though their horizontal length has been reduced. The daytime running lights, extending three lines from the bottom of the headlamps, are seamlessly integrated into the horizontal grille pattern. This design element gives the front of the Kicks a look somewhat reminiscent of the Hyundai Tucson. A black cover trim at the top of the grille connects the headlamps, creating a unified appearance.

The lower part of the grille and daytime running lights feature a trim that wraps around and connects to the bumper, adding visual interest. The bumper has a narrow air intake and a grid pattern that combines vertical and horizontal lines. Plastic cladding enhances the vehicle’s rugged look on the sides, while the window belt line rises above the C-pillar, giving a more elevated profile. At the rear, the Kicks features a box-shaped tail lamp, replacing the previous design with a cleaner, more modern appearance.

Safety and convenience features have been enhanced, and a four-wheel drive option is available

The redesigned Kicks also brings several upgrades in safety and convenience features. The vehicle now offers all-wheel drive as an option. The base Kicks S trim has a 7-inch digital cluster, an infotainment display, and advanced safety features. These include adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with emergency braking and pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, high beam assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and emergency braking.

The mid-level SV trim enhances the display size to 12.3 inches and adds a wireless smartphone charging pad. The top-of-the-line SR trim boasts 17-inch alloy wheels, a painted grille, and roof rails. It features two-tone stitching, a Bose 10-speaker audio system, and a heated steering wheel. The new Kicks will hit the U.S. market in late summer 2024.
