2024 Nissan Kicks Owner’s Manual

Nissan Kicks is what you get when you place affordability above all else. However, while this description may be a turn-off for many prospective car shoppers, for the perfect audience, it is a killer formula.

The 2024 Nissan Kicks carries over from the previous year essentially unchanged, with the same ethos of pocket-friendliness first.

The starting price is the first indication of how this car excels at its role, seeing that the 2024 Kicks retail price starts at a few thousand bucks less than that of its closest competitors like the Volkswagen Taos, Mazda CX-30, and Kia Niro.

The new Nissan Kicks is also a fuel efficiency champion, with an ample EPA combined estimate of 37 MPG that promises even more lifetime savings. However, this hyper-affordable offering goes a step further still, packing an impressive list of standard driving-assistance features and sporting a surprisingly practical cabin.

The compact crossover SUV offers a stylish and spacious interior, complete with a roomy cabin that can accommodate five passengers comfortably, with plenty of headroom, legroom, hip room, and shoulder room. The 2024 Kicks also has a surprisingly modern and sleek dashboard with an 8-inch touchscreen display, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and a push-button start. The infotainment unit supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and SiriusXM.

However, the performance side of things is where the cost savings begin to show excessively.

The 2024 Nissan Kicks packs a humble 122-horsepower four-cylinder engine with continuously variable automatic transmission and front-wheel drive to provide expected sluggish acceleration. There is also no all-wheel drive or higher-powered engine option available.
