2025 Nissan Kicks Play Consumer Reviews

Handles well but VERY underpowered

Had this car as a rental for over a week in a mountainous part of Canada. It’s comfortable, very fuel efficient, and it handles relatively well. However, I would go so far as to say that it is dangerously underpowered and the engine is constantly screaming to keep up with traffic. I can’t even count the number of times that my foot was pinned to the floor only to merge onto the highway or to go up minor inclines. I will also mention that I’m not someone with a heavy foot, so for me to say this… yikes (lol). I have had Nissans in the past and they were not reliable, so I may have a slight bias towards these cars at the jump. However, based on driving alone, I cannot recommend this car due to the power train.
