2021 Subaru Crosstrek vs. 2021 Nissan Kicks
The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek is one subcompact SUV that knows how to define what its users need in terms of styling, technologies, and engine performance. It oozes with comfortable cabin design, and boasts of a reliable list of technologies too.
When it comes to the 2021 Nissan Kicks, users can expect a long list of standard features as well. There is an impressive cargo area that awaits its users. It promises better and refreshed interior and exterior styling too.
Design & Style
The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek has a lot of things to offer in this category. First, it has cloth-upholstered seats which are cushy and comfortable enough for its users. There is also an option to get versions with leather-trimmed or water-repellant upholstery. The interior looks mesmerizingly impressive with the addition of soft-touch plastics and orange stitching for its cabin. There are plenty of premium materials to enjoy in it as well. Cargo space wise, expect that the ride can accommodate up to 55 cubic feet of space when the rear seats are folded.
The 2021 Nissan Kicks has plenty of cargo space too. Note, however, that while that is the case, its rear seats do not fold down flat. This makes accessing your belongings a bit hard once you need them. The presence of wheel wells on the trunk area hamper that space as well. Back seats are made to accommodate three kids, with the front seats ready for two adults. The interior design comes with color accents too, but the overall design is not as impressive as that of the Crosstrek.
Technology & Safety
The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek is equipped with the Starlink infotainment system, which is paired with a reliable 6.5-inch touch screen. This one displays readable graphics, and immediately responds to user inputs. There is an installed rearview camera for your safety too. It also features four speakers, automatic climate control, a USB port, and Bluetooth interface.
For the 2021 Nissan Kicks, it uses a seven-inch touch screen with smaller icons. This one makes the infotainment system a bit dated and harder to use when compared to the flawless results for the Crosstrek’s Starlink infotainment interface. The graphics may be readable, but is outdated. It has three USB ports, Bluetooth, six speakers, and smartphone integration. While it has a rearview camera, forward collision warning, and automatic high-beam headlights, these tools need some refinement in order to impress users.
Performance
The Crosstrek has a base engine version that carries 2.0-liters for its four-cylinder setup. This gives it power for 152 horses. The other version naturally puts off 182 horsepower. Under the hood of the Kicks is a four-cylinder engine that can only result in 122 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
Well-designed with tech-rich features that you can count on, the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek definitely defeats that of the 2021 Nissan Kicks. This one is a good choice for your small family of five.
