Faster than a Lambo?

Yep…and it’s got puddle lights, too!

Whoa…let’s back up and address that Lambo claim before we get into the puddle lights, OK?

Sure…a Lambo will absolutely dust the 141 HP KICKS on the track.  But hey…how often are you on a racetrack? Around town is where the KICKS absolutely shines.  It’s a genuine urban warrior…able to use those 141 HP, its refined CVT auto, and its excellent visibility to weave through traffic far easier than a low-slung Lambo ever could. And its packaging helps, too.  You won’t be embarrassed by the KICKS’ looks, and you won’t be slowed down by gawkers, or challenged by street racers on your way to Starbucks.

Instead, the KICKS will just get you and three or four passengers down the road in comfortable, safe, drama-free fashion.

If you haven’t been paying attention, this is the new-for-’25 KICKS.  Completely restyled and reengineered with bigger and more boxy sheet metal on its trim body.  And in spite of its modest footprint, while three in the back may be a little optimistic, four folks with luggage should all be comfortable.

But it’s the drivers who’ll be the first to think they’re in a pricier ride.
