2018 Nissan Kicks First Drive Review | Cheap and cheerful
Colin Chapman's famous catchphrase — "simplify, then add lightness" — referred to his philosophy of making his Lotus road and race cars faster by removing weight rather than adding power. I can't help but think Nissan drew inspiration from Chapman's ideals when the company distilled the 2018 Kicks into a simple, spacious, no-frills crossover that undercuts and outperforms its competitors in key ways.
And the competition is fierce: The Hyundai Kona, Jeep Renegade, Honda HR-V, Toyota C-HR, Kia Soul, and Ford EcoSport are all about the same size. Compared with those, the Kicks is right in the middle in terms of length (169.1 inches), features a slightly longer wheelbase (103.1 inches compared with its competition's 102.3 average), with a width (69.3 inches) that's slightly narrower than those rivals, and a height (62.4 inches) that's the second shortest. Compared to the Juke it replaces, the Kicks is longer, thinner, and just about the same in terms of height.
But where Chapman's adage applies is the Kicks' power-to-weight ratio. Despite its raw horsepower figures trailing the rest of the CUV litter — the Kicks' 1.6-liter 16-valve four-cylinder engine is rated at just 125 horsepower and 115 lb-ft of torque — highway merging isn't much of a problem. The Kicks weighs just 2,639 pounds, which is between 300 and 700 pounds lighter than the outgoing Juke depending on trim level. This gives it a power-to-weight ratio equivalent to its more powerful, yet heavier, adversaries.
