Back in 2010, Nissan unveiled the quirky subcompact model known as the Juke. Hoping to appeal to a younger demographic, the Japanese automaker designed it to be curvy and cute with loads of cool tech features. Its uniqueness made it a popular choice among the cool kids, and the company saw room for improvements. That’s why they made the all-new 2018 Kicks!
Both petite crossovers share an individualistic style, affordable price point, and bold elements to attract attention. However, the 2018 Kicks boasts a larger grille constructed with the VMotion shape. Its face has lower foglights without the circular design of its predecessor. The front bumper is also wider and thinner than the Juke’s, making it look like an even smaller version of the Rogue Sport.
Powered by a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, the Kicks generates 125 hp and 115 pound-feet of torque. Equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), it has an outstanding fuel economy set at 33 mpg combined (31 city/36 highway). It can carry five passengers and has 25.3 cubic feet of cargo room behind the back row. To access up to 53.1 cubes, simply fold down the seats.
