Nissan’s 2019 Kicks crossover is now on sale at
dealerships nationwide across the US, with pricing starting from US$ 18,540 MSRP
for the entry-level Kicks S version. Buyers can choose between three
front-wheel drive specs (S, SV and SR), each being equipped with a standard
1.6-liter petrol unit, good for 122 horsepower and 154 Nm of
torque. The Kicks boasts a combined fuel consumption
rating of 33 mpg (7.1 l/100km).
The 2019 Kicks is offered in a range of seven
exterior colors, plus five two-tone combos, three of which utilize a black roof
with contrasting body colors (white, orange or red), along with orange
roof/grey body and white roof/blue body variants.
Inside, you’ll find what the Japanese automaker calls
a modern and simple “Gliding Wing” instrument panel, dominated by a centrally
mounted 7.0-inch color display housing the infotainment system. And yes, you
also get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, as expected with most new
crossovers nowadays.
Opt for the SR Premium Package and you’ll get a
class-exclusive Bose Personal Plus sound system, featuring a pair of 2.5-inch
Bose UltraNearfield neodymium speakers, positioned inside the driver’s seat
headrest. Other onboard tech includes an available Intelligent Around View
Monitor, while Emergency Braking is standard on all grade levels, along with 7
airbags and a RearView Monitor.
Meanwhile, the SV and flagship SR specs, priced from US$ 20,250 and US$ 20,870 respectively, add Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert.
