SR 4dr Front-wheel Drive
2020 Nissan Kicks

For 2020 the Kicks gets automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitors, and lane-departure warnings as standard equipment.

The Kicks engine is a 1.6-liter inline-4 that makes 122 horsepower, mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). It's fairly quick and nimble around town, but out on the highway it runs out of steam.

The Kicks cabin seats four, if two of them are children. There's good cargo space behind the back seat, which gets better when it's folded, making the Kicks fine for young or old couples, young or old singles, or maybe first-time buyers.

The EPA rates the Kicks at 31 mpg city, 36 highway, 33 combined, which is about tops in the class.

The IIHS called the Kicks SR a Top Safety Pick thanks to good crash-test scores, headlights that rate 'Acceptable,'? and automatic emergency braking rated 'Superior'? at avoiding forward crashes. The headlights on S and SV models rate lower.

The NHTSA gave the Kicks a four-star overall score, including four stars for front crash protection and rollover prevention.
