On the market since 2013, the Chevrolet Trax has met the needs of buyers looking for a versatile sub-compact SUV. Competition is tough in this segment and new players have been added over the years, including the popular Nissan Kicks, which debuted in 2018 and has been gaining in popularity ever since. Spinelli, your Nissan dealer in the West Island of Montreal, tells you more about this model which turns many heads along the way, and offers many advantages over the competition, in this Trax vs. Kicks comparison!
The 2021 Nissan Kicks is offered at a base price ranging from $19,898 to $24,998 and comes in 4 versions, namely the S, SV, SR and SR Premium. It is therefore much more affordable than the 2021 Chevrolet Trax, which offers only 2 versions with base prices ranging from $23,998 to $26,398.
What's more, the Nissan SUV is longer than its rival – 4,295 mm against 4,257 mm – and offers a wheelbase of 2,620 mm as well as a height of 1,586 mm.
The 2021 Kicks sports a bold silhouette on all levels, in contrasts with the more sober 2021 Trax. Slimmer headlights, a new, more muscular grille, numerous exterior colors – including several 2-tone colours – as well as 16 or 17-inch wheels that can be matched to the bodywork gives it a killer look! What is more, thanks to the customization workshop, you can choose the colours of the door handles, door sills and front and rear trim to create a Kicks that reflects your personality, an option not available on the Chevrolet side.
Under the hood, the Nissan Kicks houses a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder engine with 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque, coupled with a CVT transmission and front-wheel drive. With great fuel economy, the Kicks consumes as low as 7.7 L/100 km in the city and only 6.6 L/100 km on the highway. That's significantly less than the Trax, which has city/highway ratings of 9.4/6.9 L/100 km (FWD) and 9.9/8.1 L/100 km (AWD).
The Kicks also offers you the most enjoyable driving experience, both on city streets and on the highway network.
With room for up to 5 occupants, the Nissan Kicks offers a host of conveniences and technologies, starting with a powerful Bose audio system with door speakers and – a feature not found on Trax – speakers built into the driver's headrest. Plus, depending on the options you choose, you'll get heated front seats, air conditioning, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and a host of on-board technologies.
Among these, you'll find an all-new 8-inch touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, a fully customizable digital information center, SiriusXM radio, USB ports and so much more, depending on the version and options you choose for your Kicks.
Nissan has also spared no expense on safety, to make each of your rides as safe as possible, not only for you and the Kicks' occupants, but also for other users on the road. You could find on-board advanced technologies such as Driver Attention Alert, Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Door Alert, High Beam Assist, Intelligent Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and a rear sonar, just to name a few.
With so many features up its sleeve, it's no wonder the 2021 Nissan Kicks is a better choice than the 2021 Chevrolet Trax! What is more, it earned a higher overall score than its rival from The Car Guide (75% vs. 68%).
