1-The car is really light and "City" nimble, also on an open road it will gradually gets to high speeds with good control yet if it is a windy day on the highway then the lightness of the car will not be much of grace as you might need extra grip on the steering and also the fuel efficiency will be a bit negatively affected. 2-CVT is not a crime but I personally do not like the car reaching almost 5000 or 6000 RPM just to get a little bit of extra acceleration...such nimble car would have excelled more with a regular Automatic transmission. 3-The ride is not that bumpy but you surely feel the details of every rock or pot-hole...maybe all crossovers are as such but the previous sedans I drove were better on this aspect. 4-Turning radius and car size is a bless in crowded cities but the Kicks would normally four adults...squeezing a fifth person might not be a very good idea. 5-The seats are NASA-inspired zero gravity...yet the downside of this aspect is that normal every non-human object you put on the car "shopping bags - bottles - ...." would heavily roll back and forth with every U-turn or relatively strong braking. 6-The hill start assist is good but do not expect to rev the engine and really increase the speed if a road is sloping upwards for like a mile or two...it would just take some time to get to the needed speed which bring us to the point that car the little underpowered with 1.6L and onlt 149NM torque with almost 120 HP that might not give you a sporty feeling. 7-Again..that CVT revving to get fast acceleration could be really loud "even if its for 2-3seconds" which some may find uncomfortable. I like the Kicks but Nissan should have given the car more power indeed.

This car gets great mileage, better than my 2018 be passat with technology. The way I drive I get 36.5 overall average 40 Highway, 32-33 in city. This kicks is doing 36 city and 42 Highway. Yes slightly smaller but more fun to drive.

UPDATE: Following up with an update since I posted the last one below. I remain as happy now as I did when I first posted about my Kicks. It is now 6 months of ownership and I’m still very pleased with my purchase. Especially since gas prices seem to be rising higher and higher. In reality this has been the best vehicle purchase I have ever made, this ticks off all the boxes a person could have for the cost of the vehicle. I highly recommend the Nissan Kicks. It did take me a little while to get used to the CVT transmission but once you understand how the transmission works and what it does for your gas mileage it makes total sense and performs as it should. PREVIOUS REVIEW -> I’ve owned my 2020 Kicks SR for about a month now, I’ve driven on the highway several times but mostly city driving. The MPG is great on this car as I’m averaging 31.5 MPG. There is ample space in this vehicle and also is very comfortable. There are a lot of reviews out there saying that the car is under powered and has a lot fo cheap plastics inside. You get what you pay for and in the competition you pay a lot more so if that is what your looking for pay more but I say for the money the Kicks is a great value. The vehicle provides an up higher ride than a compact car, mileage is great and comfortable. For the average person this will handle most anything you need to carry in the hatch and in the cabin it will accommodate 4 people comfortably. There is plenty of tech and the Bose system is awesome. If you are looking for a vehicle that will handle your daily needs of driving, carrying a few passengers and the trip to the market this is for you. If you are looking for a vehicle that has AWD, drives like a sports car, and pampers you in luxury then a different vehicle should be looked at but for my money I say this is a great value.

From a Juke to a Kicks

2020 Nissan Kicks SR 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT)

I’ve driven my new Kicks for over 5,000 miles. I’m a commuter. I had a first edition Juke for 7 years and the engine blew at 90,500 miles... I loved the Juke and the get-up-and-go power but after facing replacing and engine and turbo... I decided that wasn’t entirely important. The dealership did right by me and my broken Juke and I had my eye on the black SR Kicks.. I’m a larger person (tall and chubby) and I don’t find the Kicks uncomfortable at all.. I love the look, it gets great mileage and while it doesn’t have that super power of a Juke, it’s not that bad.. I do well on the highway at rush hour... I have no real complaints.. so far it’s a good little car.. when it rains hard the front end camera gets disabled often.. but overall.. I’m pleased..

2020 Nissan Kicks SV 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT)
24 of 25 people found this review helpful
With an hp-122 I’m very impressed how comfortable driving in highway although many people saying bad reviews about it. I chose SV Trim because I didn’t like the orange stitching interior on SR. It lacks of storage on armrest but have large cargo space. It lacks of AWD option but FWD made it more fuel efficient.
