Nissan Kicks 
A bit like the departed JUKE, the latest member of Nissan's big SUV family primarily stands out with a colourful personality, which is emphasized by the contrasting roof option. The affordably priced, subcompact Kicks relies on a 125-horsepower, 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine that focuses on delivering high fuel economy. The lone combination of a CVT automatic and front-wheel drive certainly helps. Meanwhile, class-leading trunk capacity (716 litres) makes small families happy.
