** Exterior

In 2021, this crossover SUV had a complete exterior makeover, and the 2023 iteration stays true to that design.

One of the most notable changes to the exterior of the 2023 Nissan Kicks is its sleek and aerodynamic body shape. The sharp lines and bold curves give it a sporty look that sets it apart from other vehicles in its class. Its distinctive V-motion grille, LED headlights, taillights, fog lights, and daytime running lights also add to its overall aesthetic appeal. And we can’t forget about Nissan’s new logo!

Finally, this model will come with new wheel designs ranging from 16-19 inches depending on the trim level selected.
