Nissan Kicks vs Toyota Corolla Cross in Wilkes-Barre, PA

The Nissan Kicks and Toyota Corolla Cross give Wilkes-Barre, PA, shoppers two compact SUVs with available all-wheel drive, five-passenger seating, and useful technology. The differences become clearer in exterior dimensions, cargo capacity, highway fuel economy, displays, and driver-assistance equipment. At Ken Pollock Nissan, the Nissan Kicks offers several advantages for buyers who want a compact footprint with generous interior utility.

Cargo and Interior Space

The Nissan Kicks provides up to 30 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seats in S FWD form and up to 60 cubic feet with the 60/40-split rear seats folded. A maximum cargo length of 55.7 inches expands its usefulness for larger items. That capacity gives Scranton, PA, shoppers substantial storage without moving into a larger SUV.

The Toyota Corolla Cross provides approximately 24 cubic feet of cargo volume behind its second row in gas-powered form. Folding the rear seat expands the available loading area, yet its standard cargo measurement trails the 30 cubic feet available in the Nissan Kicks S FWD. Buyers carrying groceries, luggage, sports gear, or larger purchases gain additional usable space in the Nissan.

Technology and Displays

The Nissan Kicks offers a 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen, and the SR adds a 12.3-inch multi-function information display for a wide digital layout directly ahead of the driver. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto compatibility are available, along with an optional 10-speaker Bose Personal Plus audio system. Hazleton, PA, commuters can also choose an Intelligent Around View Monitor with a composite 360-degree camera view.

The Toyota Corolla Cross offers Toyota Audio Multimedia with available touchscreen upgrades, including a 10.5-inch display on select configurations. Its infotainment system supports smartphone integration and connected features, though the available center screen remains smaller than the 12.3-inch touchscreen in the Nissan Kicks. Nissan also offers a matching 12.3-inch driver display on the SR for substantially more digital screen area.

Driver Assistance and Safety

Every Nissan Kicks includes Nissan Safety Shield 360, giving Mountain Top, PA, drivers a broad group of active safety technologies across the lineup. Available ProPILOT Assist adds Intelligent Cruise Control and steering assistance, including stop-and-hold capability in traffic. The available Intelligent Around View Monitor adds four-camera visibility around the vehicle, which is especially useful for parking and low-speed maneuvering.

The Toyota Corolla Cross includes Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, with technologies such as a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Its driver-assistance suite covers important highway and collision-avoidance functions, though the Nissan Kicks adds the available Around View Monitor and ProPILOT Assist for a broader selection of parking and hands-on driving aids.

Fuel Economy and All Wheel Drive

The front-wheel-drive Nissan Kicks returns an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city and 35 mpg highway. Intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD) is also available for Pennsylvania winters, and every version uses regular gasoline. Dunmore, PA, shoppers who spend more time on highways get a 35-mpg rating, plus the choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

The gas-powered Toyota Corolla Cross reaches an EPA-estimated 32 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive form and offers available all-wheel drive (AWD). Its highway efficiency reaches approximately 33 mpg, giving the Nissan Kicks a two-mpg highway advantage. Toyota offers a separate Corolla Cross Hybrid with higher efficiency, though buyers comparing conventional gas models get better highway mileage from the Nissan.
