So much so, you don’t even need to fold down any of the seats to get the best interior cargo volume because the Kicks already gives you a larger amount of space with its 716-litres! Plus, it doesn’t hurt that the interior already comes with carpeted front and rear floor mats. Meanwhile on the technology side, the Kicks comes standard with the incredibly advanced Siri Eyes Free voice control assistant to give you the best usability with your iOS device. Additionally, the Kicks also comes prepared to keep you safe on the road thanks to its included Intelligent Emergency Braking system, giving you one less thing to worry about.
