2022 Nissan Kicks review

1. Made for city and suburban life  

Looking for an SUV that can handle the best of both worlds? The 2022 Nissan Kicks is an all-around winner. If you often drive in busy city areas, its compact build makes it easy to navigate congested streets, maneuver through traffic, and squeeze into tight, crowded parking lots. The best part? You won't have to sacrifice space; the 2022 Kicks is small but mighty, delivering a roomy interior no matter where your drive takes you. From shuttling the kids to enjoying a night out on the town, the 2022 Kicks has you covered.  

2. Delivers even more cargo space 

Beyond the Kicks' compact profile, its adaptability in terms of cargo capacity is noteworthy. Anticipate a generous 25 cu-ft of cargo room behind the second-row seating. This expands to more than 50 cu-ft when the 60/40 split-folding rear seats are folded down. The result? You'll have no problem transporting items, whether that's sports equipment, shopping bags, or home improvement gear.  

3. Modern design 

Make a grand entrance with the 2022 Kicks. After all, this isn't your average subcompact crossover SUV. This vehicle effortlessly captures attention with its striking design — from the iconic floating roof and the darkened window pillars to the extensive range of vibrant color options that'll ensure you leave a lasting impression wherever you travel. Take it up a notch with the SV and SR upgraded trims, which offer a two-tone color paint scheme. Look out for the SV and SR trims, which feature eye-catching 17-inch aluminum alloys. The SR trim also includes LED headlights, a rear roof spoiler, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and sport cloth upholstery with orange accents. 

4. Easy to drive 

Beyond its city prowess, the 2022 Kicks seamlessly transitions to suburban life with its versatile capabilities. Its spacious interior ensures comfort during family outings, accommodating both passengers and cargo with ease. The well-designed cabin features front seats with ample legroom and headroom (43.7 inches and 40.4 inches, respectively), ensuring that even long journeys are fatigue-free. In the back, space ranges from 33.4 inches of legroom and 38.5 inches of headroom. The dual-zone automatic climate control system gives passengers even more control, while cruise control makes long journeys a breeze for drivers. 

5. More standard technology features  

Stay seamlessly connected while on the move with the Kicks' intuitive seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Beyond that, you'll find a host of standard features at your fingertips, including four USB ports, a robust six-speaker stereo system, and convenient Bluetooth^® connectivity. What's more, the Kicks ensures you're always in sync with your digital world thanks to Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ integration as standard. These functions allow you to effortlessly sync your smartphone for hands-free calling, navigation assistance, and music streaming. For a more immersive tech-forward experience, look out for the upgraded Bose^® audio system and an available Wi-Fi hotspot add-on, which are offered with the Kicks' SR Premium package.
