Big things do indeed come in small packages. With the release of the 2018 Kicks SV Nissan proves that power no longer belongs to the hulking crossover market. Instead this utilitarian hatchback can deliver potent performance, allowing Seattle drivers to fuse each day with the handling they crave.


According to The Drive, the new Kicks SV yields impressive power. Beneath its hood purrs a 1.6L DOHC four-cylinder engine - which generates 125 HP (at 5,800 RPMs) and 115 lb.-ft of torque (at 4,000 RPMs). A 16-valve design produces superior intake levels, allowing air to move efficiently through the block; while a dual injector system sends steady bursts of fuel and maintains the performance-band. An XTronic Continuously Variable Transmission bolsters every sequence, smoothly gliding to optimum gear ratios; and electric-assisted steering strengthens each response, enabling operators to quickly navigate even the sharpest turns.

The 2018 Kicks proves dynamic, with critics noting a 0 to 60 time of approximately nine seconds. This - when combined with the car’s low curb weight (2654 pounds) - ensures a skid-pad acceleration of 0.56g and lets drivers fly down the highway.
