Searching for your next crossover? You’ve got two great options in the Honda HR-V and Nissan Kicks. Both models are ready to provide drivers with proficient all-around performances that hinge on the powertrains offered, dimensions featured, and, of course, the overall interior experience provided.
Ready to see if either of these models could fit you on the Saco, Portland, and Scarborough, ME, roadways? Check out this Honda HR-V vs. Nissan Kicks comparison from our team at Ira Honda Saco.
Starting under the hood, you will find that both the HR-V and Kicks are ready to provide proficient performances. However, they will prove a bit different, starting with engine displacement. The Honda HR-V comes equipped with a 1.8L 4-cylinder i-VTEC® engine, while the Nissan Kicks features a smaller 1.6L 4-cylinder engine.
As you may expect with the Honda’s larger engine, it will also arm you with more power. The HR-V provides you with 141 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. Conversely, the Nissan Kicks can only produce 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque.
Each vehicle comes standard with front-wheel drive. However, the HR-V offers available Real Time AWD (all-wheel drive), which will help provide premium traction control capabilities in adverse driving conditions, like:
Unfortunately, the Kicks does not offer this type of versatile drivetrain anywhere in its trim lineup.
As you explore crossovers, the interior dimensions offered to you by the HR-V and Kicks will likely be important in any decision you make. Fortunately, you will find that both seat five passengers; however, the Honda will do so more comfortably with its 100.1 cubic feet of passenger volume. Looking at the Kicks, you will only find 92.6 cubic feet of passenger volume.
You will need more space if you are looking to transport large items, like:
Again, in this department, the HR-V prevails. While the Honda offers a maximum cargo capacity of 58.8 cubic feet with its rear seats folded down, the Nissan Kicks maxes out at 32.3 cubic feet of cargo volume.
You will surely want a safe ride you can rely on as well. Fortunately, both vehicles offer impressive suites of driver-assistive technology. These suites offer similar features and systems, including:
One unique feature offered by the HR-V, though, is its available Honda LaneWatch™. This system uses a small camera placed on the passenger side exterior mirror to show you a live feed of what is going on beside your vehicle in real time, which is helpful when you are changing lanes.
