Nissan Kicks named one of WardsAuto’s best interiors

WardsAuto named the 2019 Nissan Kicks compact SUV to its list of “10 Best Interiors” last week at the New York International Auto Show.

After a rigorous evaluation of 32 vehicles with new or significantly redesigned interiors, the Kicks stood out for a number of attributes, including having the lowest price-as-tested MSRP of the entire field. The panel of eight WardsAuto editors also acknowledged Kicks for its high quality stitching and soft surfaces on the instrument panel “befitting a more expensive vehicle.”

Editors also noted the available Intelligent Around View® Monitor, which they found “handy in tight spots and which used to be available only in Infiniti luxury cars.” They also noted the available Bose® Personal Plus Audio System that includes driver’s headrest-mounted speakers.

The interior provides ample passenger space throughout the cabin, and a wide instrument panel design dominated by a centrally mounted 7.0-inch color display housing a comprehensive infotainment system.
