Nissan hasn’t just jacked up the MSRP of the Kicks. The destination and handling charge has also been increased from $1,175 to $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 114 lb-ft (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.
