Performance Features
The 2024 Nissan Kicks has a conventional 1.6-liter engine block with a naturally aspirated induction system. This compact engine is paired with the Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission System and a front-wheel drive system. According to rigorous EPA metrics, this Nissan crossover SUV gets up to 36 mpg on the highway and 31 mpg in the city. Running on a 2.5-L hybrid system, the 2024 Escape also has a maximum rating of 36 mpg on the highway. However, this larger powertrain comes with a much higher price tag. When equipped with the turbocharged 1.5-L engine, the Ford model gets only 27 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. An all-wheel-drive system reduces the model’s fuel economy to 32 mpg on the highway. Some of the Escape trims have an automatic transmission with a limited sequence of eight speeds. Nevertheless, the hybrid Ford models come with the eCVT system with enhanced shifting options. Clearing the ground by 7 inches, the 2024 Kicks has a well-balanced stance. Such a relatively low clearance also improves aerodynamic performance on the road. This subcompact Nissan crossover SUV has a turning circle of just 34.2 feet. You’ll handle the car with incredible precision thanks to the classic Vehicle Dynamic Control. Additionally, the traditional Traction Control System corrects any unexpected spin in the wheels.

You’ll pay a hefty price for the upgraded 13.2-inch multimedia system. Digital instrument clusters add some more technological value to the Kicks’ cockpit.

You can listen to SiriusXM Satellite Radio on the Personal Plus Audio System.
