The Kicks is a small, urban-oriented crossover equipped with many safety and driver assistance features as standard. Under the hood is a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine that supplies 122 horsepower and 115 pound-feet of torque. All models—S, SV and SR—rely on a continuously variable transmission that sends power to the front wheels only. A notable option that will please music lovers is the Bose sound system with speakers built into the front-seat headrests.
