Pricing details for the 2023 Nissan Kicks have just been announced and unsurprisingly, it is more expensive than last year’s model. Sitting at the base of the 2023 range is the Kicks S. Priced from US$ 20,290, it is a touch more expensive than the US$ 19,700 of last year’s model, which itself was US$ 100 pricier than the 2021 Kicks S. The mid-range Kicks SV is now available from US$ 22,150 compared to the US$ 21,550 starting price of the 2022 model. Continuing to sit at the top of the range is the Kicks SR priced from US$ 22,850, a US$ 450 increase from last year.
Nissan hasn’t just jacked up the MSRP of
the Kicks. The destination and handling charge has also been increased from US$ 1,175 to US$ 1,295. These price rises come despite the fact that no changes or
updates have actually been made for the 2023 Kicks. As such, all variants are
powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with 122 hp and 155 Nm of torque. This engine works alongside a continuously variable transmission
that sends power through the front wheels.
Those who pick up the keys to the Kicks S
receive things like 16-inch steel wheels, a keyless entry system, and power
windows and locks. A six-speaker audio system is also featured alongside a
7-inch infotainment display with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Nissan Safety
Shield 360 also comes standard and includes automatic emergency braking with
pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, rear automatic braking, a blind
spot warning system, rear parking sensors, rear cross traffic alert, and
high-beam assist.
Upgrades enjoyed by the Kicks SV include
17-inch alloy wheels, rear disc brakes, silver roof rails, an 8-inch
infotainment system, 7-inch gauge cluster, automatic climate control, and
adaptive cruise control. Separating the Kicks SR from lesser variants are LED
headlights, a grille finished in satin chrome, a rear spoiler, a
leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an Intelligent Around View Monitor.
