Join us to find out more about the features of the Nissan Kicks as we put it up against the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross, one of its class rivals.
Design & Style
You will be surprised at how lovely and well-built the interior of the Nissan Kicks is despite its low price tag. Though its interior still showcases some hard plastics, but the car still manages to pull of a beautiful and elegant look. It comes with two rows to support up to five people on relatively comfy and roomy seats.
The Toyota Corolla Cross focus more on its cargo space as opposed to its passenger room. Though its cabin is well-built, its overall quality is rather upsetting. Several hard plastics are seen covering its surfaces throughout the whole cabin. More upscale materials can be chosen in higher trims. The car can seat up to five people across two rows with just enough head and legroom. The rear row may feel a little tight though for taller folks.
Technology & Safety

Standard safety tech features of the Kicks include lane departure warning, rearview camera, collision warning, auto high beams, pedestrian detection, auto emergency braking, and rear traffic alert.
