Trim level differences

The 2021 Nissan Kicks is an extra-small crossover SUV that's offered in three trim levels: S, SV and SR. They primarily differ in the number of features you get. Highlights include:

S

  • Steel wheels with plastic wheel covers
  • Keyless ignition
  • Air conditioning
  • Cloth upholstery
  • 7-inch touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

Every Kicks also comes with:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Reverse automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

  • Alloy wheels
  • Heated mirrors
  • Roof rails
  • Rear disc brakes (can enhance braking performance)
  • Keyless entry with remote ignition

SR
The top-of-the-line SR model adds a handful of items as well as unique sport seats for front passengers.

  • LED headlights
