How powerful is the 2018 Nissan Kicks?
There are a lot of reasons why so many people love crossover SUVs. They hold more cargo space than cars but aren’t nearly as bulky as full-size SUVs. Crossovers are the most versatile vehicles out there today, and the Kicks is no different. What about the engine, though? It’s important to know what’s powering your vehicle, so let’s go over some basic performance specs of the Kicks.
This crossover comes standard with a 1.6-liter DOHC engine that is powered by 125 horses and produces 115 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine contains 16 valves and four cylinders and comes with a Continuous Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS). Xtronic transmission is responsible for changing gears in the Kicks, and the crossover comes standard with advanced braking technologies like brake assist and electronic brake force distribution.
