Why it stands out

The 2023 Nissan Kicks stands out as a practical, value-focused subcompact SUV that prioritises efficiency and everyday usability over outright performance. It belongs to the first generation, which was on sale from 2018 to 2024, and that generation was front-wheel drive only with no all-wheel drive option. Nissan positioned it as a lower-priced alternative in the segment, and its appeal has long centred on being a reliable, no-frills choice for drivers who want simple transportation without paying a premium.

For 2023, the Kicks carried the first-generation formula of a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine with 125 hp and 115 lb-ft of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission. That combination means it is not quick, but it does deliver excellent fuel economy, with Natural Resources Canada estimates of 7.7 litres per 100 kilometres in the city, 6.6 on the highway, and 7.2 combined. The 2021 refresh also gave the model updated exterior styling with a new grille and upgraded interior materials, along with standard safety and driver assistance equipment such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, high beam assist, and rear automatic braking.

Inside, the 2023 Nissan Kicks offers a straightforward trim structure with useful equipment spread across the range. The base S model includes Bluetooth connectivity, push-button start, and a seven-inch infotainment screen, while the mid-level SV adds aluminum wheels, heated front seats and exterior mirrors, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and automatic climate control. The range-topping SR brings LED headlights, additional exterior trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 360-degree camera, and an upgraded Bose Personal Plus Audio System with headrest speakers. That mix of low running costs, useful features, and strong value is what makes the 2023 Kicks distinctive, even if buyers should expect modest acceleration and a cabin that remains quite small.
