Why zig when you can zag? Today’s selection of subcompact crossovers looks so much alike that it’s hard to tell them apart; however, one model offers a unique twist on the SUV body style: the 2023 Nissan Kicks SV. The Kicks SV offers style-minded buyers an alternative to vanilla design and ho-hum curb appeal. With a rainbow of colorful exterior paint options and an athletic profile, the 2023 Nissan Kicks SV bucks the boring SUV trend.
The three-trim Nissan Kicks lineup simplifies the selection process for buyers. The mid-range Kicks SV includes more standard features than the base S while keeping the starting price affordable. It’s loaded with next-gen safety, driver-assist, and connectivity technology, and the center-dash-mounted infotainment touchscreen stretches to eight inches, providing a vibrant display and easy smartphone connectivity. Choosing a Kicks SV means finding the perfect balance between affordability and included equipment.
Car and Driver called the Kicks SV the most desirable trim in its online review, citing the SV’s larger touchscreen and standard adaptive cruise control as high-value features. Add to that the 2023 Nissan Kicks’ superb fuel economy ratings, comfortable cabin, and roomy cargo area, and this little SUV doubles as a great starter car for commuters, adventure-seekers, and growing families. Versatility is the subcompact Kicks’ superpower, allowing drivers to reconfigure the cabin for multiple uses, like hauling oversized cargo.
If you’re searching for a small SUV with a little attitude, consider the 2023 Nissan Kicks SV. Nissan combines stunning looks, practicality, and affordability while also prioritizing convenience and comfort. It’s not easy to find a value-priced SUV that encompasses every item on your wishlist, but with the 2023 Kicks SV, you won’t have to compromise on critical must-haves in key areas of consideration, like safety, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

Nissan knows that Kicks buyers value innovative technology and convenience features like smartphone connectivity and driver-assist tools that combat driver fatigue and automate repetitive functions. The Kicks SV comes standard with Nissan Intelligent Key and a Push Button start. Nissan Intelligent Key eliminates the need for using a manual key to lock and unlock the doors or open the trunk. The Intelligent Key can detect when your fob is in the vehicle, so you never run the risk of locking yourself out.
The standard 8-inch infotainment touchscreen provides a gateway to your smartphone. Using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you can connect your device to your Kicks, which allows you to view and access app content, like Spotify playlists and podcasts, and display turn-by-turn directions using Apple or Google Maps. Even better, everyone will stay fully charged, thanks to the three USB ports and a USB-C port.
Included with the Kicks SV is a 3-month subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio, along with optional NissanConnect functionality. NissanConnect converts your smartphone into a virtual key and data center for your Kicks. Use NissanConnect to lock and unlock doors, remote start your vehicle on chilly winter mornings, and view critical vehicle data, such as fuel level and mileage. A six-speaker audio system is standard, along with steering wheel-mounted audio controls.
Nothing beats knowing your vehicle is equipped with the latest safety technology, especially if your lifestyle includes a long daily commute, weekend road trips, or family carpool duty. The Nissan Kicks SV includes standard Nissan Safety Shield 360, a suite of driver-assist safety systems that utilize radar, cameras, and sensors to constantly monitor the area surrounding your Kicks and notify you of potential hazards.
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection works when you need it most, intervening with automatic braking when a collision is possible or imminent. This helps minimize the crash severity and can help drivers supplement their reaction time with emergency braking. It works with both vehicular hazards and at slow speeds to protect pedestrians that step into your path of travel.
Rear Automatic Braking is utilized when you’re in reverse, applying the brakes when it senses an object entering the space you’re backing into. It works in concert with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, also standard, to watch for traffic coming from the left or right. Say goodbye to blind turns and creeping back to manually check for oncoming traffic; these two systems have your back, so you don’t have to rely on guesswork to stay safe.
Let’s face it – long highway drives are monotonous. It’s easy to lose focus and drift to the edge of your lane. Nissan’s Lane Departure Warning audibly alerts you when it senses your vehicle drifting so you can make corrections and remain focused. Blind Spot Warning helps when you’re ready to change lanes. The system monitors the blind spots on both sides of your Kicks and lets you know when another vehicle has entered them. Once the coast is clear, the alert silences, and you’re safe to change lanes.
Ask any driver what they consider one of the most annoying aspects of night driving, and they’ll likely answer switching high beams off and on in time to maximize visibility without blinding oncoming traffic. High Beam Assist eliminates the need for manual high-beam operation by sensing when oncoming traffic is approaching and automatically switching to the low beam setting. Once the vehicle has passed, the system switches back to high beams.
The 2023 Nissan Kicks SV also includes standard Intelligent Cruise Control, which senses the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you and automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a safe distance. Once traffic speeds up, the system will restore your set cruise control speed.
Nissan proudly reports that the 2023 Nissan Kicks offers class-leading fuel economy. The Kicks’ fuel-sipping manners come by way of an efficient 1.6-liter engine that’s mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Together, this drivetrain delivers 31 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway fuel economy ratings, enough so you can drive past the gas station and reach your destination faster.
Performance gets a boost from several technologies embedded in the 2023 Nissan Kicks’ architecture. These technologies, which include Hill Start Assist, Intelligent Trace Control, Active Ride Control, and Intelligent Engine Brake, complement one another with intuitive actions designed to ensure optimal ride handling and traction. Hill Start Assist takes the stress out of accelerating after you’ve stopped on a steep incline. As you shift your foot from the brake to the throttle, Hill Start Assist holds the vehicle in place so you won’t roll backward.
Intelligent Trace Control has the capability to apply braking to individual wheels as you navigate corners, optimizing traction and control and adding to your confidence on winding roads. Active Ride Control smooths out the ride, adjusting power via the vehicle’s torque output and braking to compensate for bumpy roads. The advanced CVT includes Intelligent Engine Brake, which takes the jolt out of your braking behavior by initiating controlled braking during deceleration.
These systems work in the background while you’re on the go, leaving you to enjoy the scenery and focus on the road ahead. No matter the road conditions, the 2023 Nissan Kicks SV incorporates advanced performance technology to ensure you stay in full control, resulting in a nimble, athletic driving experience that’s uncommon in subcompact SUVs.
