2024 Nissan Kicks SV Driving Review

If you’re looking for a subcompact SUV that is easy on your bank account, then the Nissan Kicks SV is one that you’ll want to take a look at! With a highway fuel economy of 37 miles per gallon, it’s an impressive car that will save drivers money at the fuel pump too!

Ready to see what this small but mighty SUV has to offer? Our team at Maus Nissan of North Tampa shares some of our favorite aspects of the Kicks SV, with some help from our friends at Walser Nissan Wayzata!

2024 Nissan Kicks SV Overview: What’s New for this Model Year?

There aren’t too many significant changes for the 2024 model year, though the SV and SR trims have now been upgraded to come equipped with an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot that comes with a three-year trial plan of NissanConnect services.

Engine + Transmission

Every trim in the Kicks lineup is powered by a 122-hp four-cylinder engine that is paired with a continuously variable transmission. All-wheel drive is not currently offered.

It is a nimble subcompact SUV with suspension that is tuned for comfort—perfect for pitted roads or less-than-favorable road conditions.

Fuel Economy

The Kicks comes in at 31 miles per gallon in the city and 36 miles per gallon on the highway which is amazing when you compare it to other SUVs on the market.

And remember, it’s only offered in a front-wheel drive configuration.

Interior Features

The Kicks has a comfortable user-friendly interior, and though it may look small from the outside, it’s bigger inside than it looks! Plus, it has some pretty amazing infotainment features like wired Apple CarPlay which allows drivers to access Google Maps, Spotify, Text Messages, Calls, and more from their Apple smartphone.

There is also a voice activation button on the steering wheel which makes it easy to change the radio or make a phone call without having to take focus away from the road.

The mid-range SV model comes with:

• An 8.0-inch infotainment display
• An extra USB-C port
• Access to Nissan Connect concierge system

Safety + Driver Assistance Features

Nissan has packed the 2024 Kicks with ample safety features including:

• Automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
• Standard lane-departure warning
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Parking aid with a backup camera with sensors
• Driver attention alerts
• Adaptive cruise control (available)

As you can see, Nissan takes safety very seriously!

What’s it Like to Drive?

While you might not break any speed records with the 2024 Nissan Kicks, is that really why you’re looking to buy a family-friendly SUV? Its 0-60 MPH range is between 9 and 10 seconds, but once you put your foot to the pedal the engine gives you enough pep to merge into traffic without hesitation. And that amazing 37 miles per gallon makes up for what it lacks in acceleration speed on the highway. Think about it that’s 300-350 miles on one tank, which is pretty good to us!

Plus, once you are going, it will accelerate and change lanes easily and without fuss.

Bottom Line

If you’re looking at purchasing a subcompact or crossover SUV, the Nissan Kicks SV should be at the top of your list. It’s quiet, comfortable, and won’t break your budget. With a starting price of $25,000 MSRP and a comfortable interior with ample safety features, you can’t beat it!
