Small crossovers have been a large force in the auto sales market in the past few years. Today's test drive model, the 2022 Nissan Kicks, provides a good example of why these vehicles have become so popular.
This subcompact crossover offers seating for five, although space is a little scarce, so three or four passengers will fit more comfortably. It offers a maximum cargo space of 32.3 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down.
The Kicks comes in three trim levels: S, SV and SR.
Under the hood, you'll find a standard 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 122 horsepower and is linked to a continuously variable transmission. Fuel economy for the Kicks is rated at 31 mpg city, 36 highway, according to EPA.
The Kicks offers zippy, fun driving dynamics, with easy handling and firm, reliable braking. And even with its limited space, it's a perfect weekend getaway vehicle for a couple of friends, with ample room to throw in a pair of suitcases and maybe a cooler or other recreational gear.
And with gas prices being high these days, its' good fuel economy numbers will be appreciated when you visit the pump.
The Kicks starts at around $21,000 and ranges to around $23,000.
The Kicks is a zippy little crossover that offers plenty of fun at an affordable price.
