Overview
The 2024 Nissan Kicks remains a standout choice in the compact SUV segment, blending a winning combination of fuel efficiency, agile handling, and ample interior space. Despite entering its seventh year without significant changes, the Kicks retains its fresh and appealing design. As an urban commuter, the Kicks excels, offering easy maneuverability and responsive performance in city traffic.

What’s New for 2024?
Nissan opted to maintain the Kicks without alterations for the 2024 model year, likely in anticipation of a redesign slated for 2025. Introduced in 2018, the Kicks is approaching its scheduled refresh, signaling a forthcoming full makeover for the popular compact SUV.
2024 Nissan Kicks Models and Pricing
Starting at $20,790, the 2024 Nissan Kicks presents itself as a compelling choice in the segment, particularly with its entry-level S grade. Nissan keeps the trim options straightforward, offering only three levels, with the top-tier SR grade priced at $23,350. Unlike some competitors, the Kicks remains front-wheel drive only, eschewing all-wheel drive. For those requiring additional space and power, Nissan suggests the Rogue, albeit at a higher price point of approximately $9,000 more.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The interior design of the Kicks may not be as flashy as its exterior, but it boasts a well-built, mature look with a user-friendly layout.
Unlike some competitors like the C-HR, the Kicks offers an adult-sized rear seat, ensuring comfortable seating for passengers and ample cargo space without feeling cramped.
Splashes of color throughout the cabin add visual interest and break up the predominantly black interior.
Despite its compact size, the Kicks surprises with its cargo capacity, outperforming some larger rivals. In our tests, we were able to fit 19 carry-on suitcases with the rear seats folded. While small-item storage is limited in the cargo area and back seat, front-seat occupants will appreciate the spacious door pockets and glovebox.
Enduring Exterior Styling
Even in what is presumed to be its final year of production, this iteration of the Kicks maintains its strong curb appeal.
The exterior design remains sharp and eye-catching, showcasing Nissan’s commitment to stylish aesthetics.
With its bold lines and distinctive features, the Kicks stands out in the crowded urban crossover segment.
Despite its age, the Kicks continues to attract attention on the road, proving that good design transcends the passage of time.
