![]() That's less than even the base Soul and the notoriously glacial HR-V. Subaru Crosstrek also comes standard with all-wheel drive.Īs for performance, want that too? Too bad, the Kicks produces a measly 125 horsepower and a weak-sauce 115 pound-feet of torque. We're guessing that's not a problem for many, but if it is, check out the What do their interiors look like? Why waste keystrokes when you can take a look for yourselves?ĭrivetrains, performance and fuel economy All-wheel drive. That advantage doesn't mean anything when fitting rear-facing child seats, though, so one of the competitors with a bigger back seat legroom will still likely be better for parents of small children. This means there's actually more legroom than the numbers would indicate since there's ample under-thigh support and therefore less space needed to the front seat backs. (Seriously, it's almost impressive how large the C-HR is on the outside but cramped inside.) However, the Kicks' tall greenhouse not only allows for ample headroom, but seats that are mounted high off the ground. And in that day-to-day way, the Kicks is excellent.īackseat legroom seems to be a Kicks downside, as all but theĬ-HR surpass it. Its small behind-the-back-seat cargo number is likely a better indicator of how much you'll be dealing with on a day-to-day basis. The Kia Soul has the biggest maximum number, but that's largely the result of being a box. The Honda and its "Magic Seat" still beats it in terms of maximum capacity, but it sure is close. It's virtually the same as the Honda HR-V, yet manages to eek out a few extra cubic feet of cargo space behind its raised back seat. Now, if you're interested in literally the exact opposite SUV segment, check outĭimensions and passenger space In terms of exterior dimensions, the new Kicks is right smack in the middle of the segment. Specifically, we'll be looking at those subcompact crossovers with similarly small dimensions, especially low prices and/or a disinclination to offering all-wheel drive. Well, to see how the Kicks compares to those very competitors, lets fire up the Autoblog Comparo Generator 3000 (TM). Juke was one of the first of these subcompact crossovers, but it was probably too oddball for a mainstream audience (not to mention inefficient) and never really caught on. ![]() However, the majority of car buyers are all about SUVs, and this littlest segment of them has been multiplying like Tribbles in the past few years. Nevertheless, neither of us were especially pumped up by the Kicks. The data chart has been updated with final Kicks information as well as changes to competitors made for 2019.Īnyone else have "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People stuck in their heads? Well, you do now. Update: As we now have now driven the 2018 Nissan Kicks and have all the specs and figures available, we thought it was time to update this comparison post. ![]()
