The 2019 Kicks
is what the Juke wanted to be when it grew up: practical and
financially responsible but with a fun side. Under the hood is a puny
four-cylinder that makes just 125 horsepower and required 9.7 seconds to
reach 60 mph at our test track; all-wheel drive is not offered, so all
Kicks models are front-wheel drive. It's not fast, but it feels nimble
in corners and managed an efficient 37-mpg result in our highway
fuel-economy test. The cabin is spacious for people and cargo, and the
Kicks offers many features, including touchscreen infotainment and
automated emergency braking
