Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Nissan Kicks than in the Lexus UX 250h, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Nissan Kicks will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus UX 250h.
