When you’re searching for an SUV, you might wonder which models will provide the best performance. Both the Kicks and the HR-V have a lot to offer, and we’re about to dive in deep to see their respective outputs.
Whether you’re driving the kids to an away game or just stopping by the grocery store to pick up dinner, you’ll want a vehicle that makes the most of your fuel. Which SUV can get you farther with just one tank?
Thanks to its EPA-estimated 31 city/36 highway MPG, the Nissan Kicks will provide the more efficient ride.* The Honda HR-V, meanwhile, only achieves an EPA-estimated 26 city/32 highway MPG.
Both crossovers come with a 4-cylinder engine and a Continuously Variable Transmission, which is part of what makes them so efficient.
However, the standard Nissan Kicks trim has a lighter standard curb weight of 2,685 pounds, compared to that of the Honda HR-V, which has a curb weight of 3,159 pounds.
Drivers can expect plenty of protection from these cars thanks to their many active safety features that can anticipate potential collisions before they happen and take preventative measures to avoid them. With all sorts of safety features at your disposal, you’ll be prepared for just about anything that might happen out on the road.
One of the most impressive features found on both crossovers is the Automatic Emergency Braking system. If your vehicle detects an imminent collision, your car can automatically bring itself to a stop to help avoid or mitigate the accident.
One feature unique to the Nissan Kicks, though, is the standard Rear Automatic Braking system. This feature is designed to automatically bring your vehicle to a stop if you’re nearing another object while backing up. If you’re not sure about your surroundings in a tight parking space, this feature can be a huge help.
Another unique feature aboard the Nissan Kicks is the available Intelligent Driver Alertness feature. This intelligent system monitors your steering patterns for drowsy or distracted behavior. If detected, a chime will sound, and a coffee cup symbol will illuminate on the instrument cluster.
Unfortunately, the Honda HR-V goes without a similar feature that will keep you alert during long hauls.
Since you’ll be spending a lot of time in your new crossover, let’s talk about the interior technological features of these two models. From their easy-to-use infotainment systems to their quality sound systems, you’ll have an entertaining drive in both SUVs.
Both models come standard with a RearView Monitor and a 7-inch touch-screen display.
If you want to see the area all the way around your vehicle, you should opt for the Nissan Kicks, which has an available Intelligent Around View® Monitor. This feature uses several cameras around the vehicle to piece together a 360-degree view from the top down.
Listening to your favorite media is more satisfying in the Kicks, too. The Honda HR-V comes standard with a 4-speaker audio system and with the option to upgrade to six or eight speakers.
Meanwhile, six speakers come standard in the Kicks. If you want a truly personalized sound experience, upgrade to a Kicks model with the 8-speaker Bose® Personal® Plus audio system. This innovative sound system includes a Bose® UltraNearfield™ speaker mounted in the driver’s headrest.
