Nissan Kicks
The Kicks is a star among FWD-only small crossovers, as evidenced by its sales totals in Canada. Colourful styling and a fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine can explain its popularity, even though AWD is missing. Five trim levels are part of the lineup for 2023 including the new SV Special Edition. This one stands out with a stainless steel exhaust tip, 17-inch black alloy wheels and a rear spoiler. The Kicks’ closest rival is the Hyundai Venue.
