Performance

The Nissan Kicks has three trim levels for the 2023 model year. All receive 122 horsepower from a four-cylinder, 1.6-liter gas engine. Front-wheel drive and a CVT are standard equipment. Depending on the trim selected, the Kicks may have either a rear drum or disc brakes, an electronic parking brake, and intelligent dynamics control. The Nissan Rogue also has one powertrain system across its four trims. Specifically, it draws 201 horsepower from a turbo three-cylinder, 1.5-liter engine with a CVT. The four trims are all available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Appearance

The Kicks and the Rogue have modern Nissan design language, a V-motion grille, and a solid definition over the rear haunches. The smaller Kicks display metallic touches along the lower perimeter of the sides and front end. The long, narrow headlights have a pointed arrow of LED lighting. In addition, the small foglights are mounted in setback ports. The 2023 Rogue, on the other hand, has chrome accents on its grille and lower perimeter. The headlights are striking with separated upper and lower elements. The lower lights trend into tall, defined air intakes.
