A Subcompact SUV That Brings Style and Substance to Every Drive

The Nissan Kicks proves a subcompact SUV can deliver bold style, smart tech, and real practicality without stretching your budget. At Gates Nissan of Richmond, we stock the Nissan Kicks for sale near Lexington, KY, for drivers who want a fuel-efficient ride built for daily life and weekend plans alike. 

• Intelligent all-wheel drive is now available on every trim, giving you better traction in Kentucky weather.
• A 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone connection comes standard on every model.
• Nissan Safety Shield 360 is included from the base trim up, bringing essential driver-assist tech to every buyer.

From the entry-level S model to the well-equipped SR, every Kicks comes loaded with features that once required a serious upgrade. Front-wheel drive is standard, and intelligent all-wheel drive is now a check-box option, no matter which trim you choose. That flexibility makes it easier to match the vehicle to how and where you actually drive.

Performance and All-Weather Capability

Under the hood, the Kicks runs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth Xtronic CVT. It's tuned for responsive acceleration around town and confident merging on the highway. With front-wheel drive, you'll see an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, which keeps fuel stops to a minimum.

For drivers who deal with snow, gravel, or steep back roads, intelligent all-wheel drive is available across the full lineup. The AWD setup adds a dedicated Snow drive mode and pairs with a multi-link rear suspension for added composure on rough surfaces. The 8.4-inch ground clearance gives you extra confidence when the weather turns or the road gets uneven.

Technology That Makes Every Trip Easier

Every Kicks now comes with a 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen, putting maps, music, and calls within easy reach. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, so your phone connects the moment you sit down. Two USB-C ports keep devices charged up front, and the SR trim adds a second pair in back for passengers.

Step up to the SR, and you'll find a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that displays trip data, navigation, and driver-assist info right in your line of sight. The available SR Premium Package adds a Bose Personal Plus audio system with headrest speakers and a panoramic moonroof for an open, airy feel inside.

Standard Safety Shield 360 Protection

Every Nissan Kicks for sale comes with Nissan Safety Shield 360, a full suite of driver-assist features that includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, rear automatic braking, and high beam assist. Intelligent cruise control is also standard, helping you maintain a set distance from the car ahead during longer trips.

The SR trim builds on that foundation with ProPILOT Assist for highway driving, Intelligent Around View Monitor for a 360-degree camera view, and Traffic Sign Recognition. Together, these features take some of the stress out of busy parking lots and stop-and-go traffic.
