edmunds TESTED
Typical of subcompact crossovers, the Kicks is fuel-efficient and easy to park. We also like its distinctive two-tone paint schemes, smartphone-friendly infotainment system and nimble handling. But lackluster interior quality, seat comfort and cargo flexibility keep the Kicks from being best in class.

2020 Nissan Kicks Review
byCameron Rogers
Manager, News
Cameron Rogers has worked in the automotive industry since 2013. He has tested and reviewed hundreds of vehicles over the course of his career. Today, he leads the news team in developing cutting-edge news articles, opinion pieces and sneak peeks at upcoming vehicles. Favorite cars that he's driven during his tenure at Edmunds include the 991-era Porsche 911 Turbo S, Rolls-Royce Ghost and several generations of Honda Odyssey (really).
Pros
- Strong estimated and real-world fuel economy numbers
- Larger cargo capacity than many subcompact SUVs
- Inexpensive compared to rivals
Cons
- Accelerates leisurely
- No optional all-wheel drive
- Lacks some desirable features
What's new
- Driver assistance features added to the base model
- Roof rails no longer standard
- Part of the first Kicks generation introduced for 2018
Overview
Let's get this out of the way first: Despite the marketing, the 2020 Nissan Kicks isn't really an SUV, at least from our editors' standpoint. All-wheel drive isn't offered, and the Kicks' ground clearance is only slightly better than a comparable hatchback's. But get past that and you'll find a smartly styled small crossover, er, hatchback. Or whatever it is.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2020 Nissan Kicks S 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.01 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.
Monthly estimates based on costs in Virginia
$113/mo for Kicks S

Avg. Compact Car
The Kicks offers strong value thanks to a budget price tag and wealth of standard features. Even top-trim models undercut rivals by thousands of dollars. Advanced driving aids are central to the Kicks' value statement. And this year a host of safety systems are standard, including blind-spot monitoring and rear parking sensors. The Kicks also boasts one of the largest cargo holds in the class, so drivers looking to downsize don't have to compromise on utility.
But the Kicks has a number of shortcomings, starting with hard interior plastics that match its budget price tag. Acceleration is slow — you'll struggle to out-drag a Prius — and the car's antiquated rear drum brakes contribute to a panic-stopping distance closer to that of a heavy-duty truck than a lightweight crossover. We also find that its seats are among the least comfortable in the class. In all fairness, all subcompact SUVs have some drawbacks in exchange for their low price. The Kicks, unfortunately, simply has more than others.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
6.5/10
How does the Kicks drive? Performance isn't the Kicks' forte. Though the brakes are easy to modulate, the pedal itself is squishy and feels unnatural. While testing the Kicks, it needed 140 feet to stop from 60 mph — that's lengthy for any car but especially bad for a small, lightweight crossover. Acceleration is similarly leisurely. We measured a 0-60 mph sprint of 10.2 seconds, which is among the slowest you'll find in this class.
The Kicks does have a couple of things going for it in this category. It's fun to drive on a twisty road. The suspension is responsive and keeps the car balanced. We also like how the Kicks' transmission shifts smoothly and delivers adequate response in routine driving. It avoids the usual common annoyances associated with CVT automatics.

Comfort
6.5/10
How comfortable is the Kicks? Subcompact vehicles often have to compromise on comfort, but you will want to kick these exceptionally poor seats to the curb. Depending on your seating posture, you'll either notice the front seats' short, narrow bottoms with little thigh support or mushy upper-back portions. The rear seatbacks are too upright, and the bench is flat and hard.
The Kicks can be a little noisy too. Wind noise is adequately managed and only becomes more noticeable at highway speeds. But the Kicks is susceptible to road noise depending on the road surface, with harsher bumps getting transmitted into the cabin. About the only good thing in this category is the Kicks' compliant ride quality.

Interior
7/10
How’s the interior? The Kicks' cabin is easy to climb in and out of and become familiar with. The climate control and touchscreen menus are simple and user-friendly. Thanks to a large greenhouse and low hoodline, it's easy to see out of the front and the sides. The thick rear pillars compromise rear visibility somewhat, but overall it isn't terrible.
On the downside, taller drivers or drivers with big feet may have issues with the driving position. The accelerator is placed too closely to the transmission tunnel, and the low, upright seating position can be uncomfortable. Though cars in this segment naturally compromise on interior packaging, the Kicks is less generous in rear legroom than rivals.

Technology
8/10
How’s the tech? While it doesn't have an available built-in navigation system, the Kicks has everything else a modern smartphone-using driver needs. A trio of USB ports is standard (one up front for data and two charge-only ports in the rear), and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration comes in at the SV level. We've found the 7-inch touchscreen overly reflective, so glare is an issue in direct sunlight.
The many standard driving aids generally work well. The surround-view parking camera system is a rare feature at this price point but is a little overkill for such a small vehicle. Overall, there's a lot of cool tech for such an inexpensive car.

Storage
7/10
How’s the storage? With 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, the Kicks offers more room than most subcompacts. But cargo-carrying versatility is a little lacking. The rear seatback folds in a 60/40 split, but we wish there was a center pass-through for longer items. And most of the small storage areas could stand to be more functional.
Fuel Economy
8.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? The Kicks' fuel economy varies wildly based on driving style, but it doesn't take much to keep the average above 30 mpg. We recorded a high of 37.4 mpg from one fill-up with our test car and averaged 33.4 mpg during our test. The EPA says to expect 33 mpg combined (31 city/36 highway).
Value
7.5/10
Is the Kicks a good value? In this category, value is the name of the game, and the Kicks is slightly ahead of the segment thanks to its low initial starting price. It is constructed as well as can be expected at this price, but we don't like the acres of plastic used on the door panels. Otherwise, enough premium materials are used to keep the interior somewhat interesting.
Warranty coverage stands at three years/36,000 miles overall and five years/60,000 miles for the powertrain. Both are average for the segment. Roadside assistance is offered for three years/36,000 miles, which is also typical for this class.

Wildcard
7.5/10
There's no reason compact crossovers have to be boring. The Kicks aims to bring some fun lifestyle elements into a segment traditionally bound by logic and rationale. It's partially successful, but quicker acceleration and a nicer interior would go a long way in making the Kicks truly desirable.
Which Kicks does Edmunds recommend?
Unless the Kicks draws you in solely because of its ultra-low price tag, we think it's worth upgrading to one of the more well-equipped trims. The SV adds a ton of content, yet the SR is only marginally more expensive and comes with even more features. We think the LED headlights and surround-view camera system are worth the price of admission alone, but there are other goodies as well. The SR also opens the door to the Premium package and its upgraded accoutrements.
2020 Nissan Kicks models
The 2020 Nissan Kicks is a subcompact crossover available in three trim levels: S, SV and SR. The S trim is very basic, as are the upper trims compared to other subcompact crossovers. All models receive a 1.6-liter four-cylinder (122 horsepower, 114 lb-ft of torque) paired to a continuously variable automatic transmission that drives the front wheels. All-wheel drive is not available.
The S trim kicks things off with 16-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, push-button start, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a height-adjustable driver's seat, 60/40-split folding rear seats, Bluetooth, a 7-inch touchscreen, Siri Eyes Free integration, three USB ports (two are charge-only), and a six-speaker audio system.
Standard safety features include automatic high-beam control, lane departure warning, a blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, and front and rear automatic emergency braking.
The SV adds 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, heated mirrors, body-painted mirrors and handles, keyless entry, remote start, a driver information display, interior chrome accents, padded front door armrests, automatic climate control, a cargo cover, satellite radio, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
The range-topping SR comes with the SV's upgrades, plus LED headlights, foglights, black-painted mirrors, a rear roof spoiler, a 360-degree parking camera, upgraded cloth upholstery, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.
The optional SR Premium package equips the Kicks with an eight-speaker Bose audio system, simulated leather upholstery and heated front seats. Both the SV and SR trims are eligible for a two-tone paint scheme.

My Kicks 2020 experience in points..3106 Miles now
Andy, 05/29/2020
2020 Nissan Kicks SR 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT)
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.

High tech low cost great on fuel
CJSouthJersey, 05/21/2019
2019 Nissan Kicks SR 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT)
Spend the extra money and get the SR! There's not much extra coin to get tons of really great Tech stuff. The 360 degree camera, which I thought "who needs that in such a small car", is extremely useful. As is all the other safety and security stuff you get with the upgraded model. The Rockford Fosgate sound system upgrade is really nice for a small sub box and tuned door speakers. It's … by no means a full system with tons of watts and a gigantic subwoofer, but it's enough to shake the mirror and really balance out the sound in such a small SUV. This vehicle is a definite thumbs up for me, and unlike the professional reviews I find the seating comfy and the noise level tolerable, not to mention I'm 6 foot tall. The seats, although not power are way more adjustable than most, I find the race inspire side bolsters keep me planted quite well.
Update- So the radio has a reoccurring problem where the volume lowers itself and the knob is un responsive. The fit and finish is a bit off leaving undesirable wind noise. I have some areas of the vehicle where paint chipped and flaked away (this problem happened early on but was quickly dismissed by the auto manufacturer as not a defect). Overall I give it a B+, the power is a bit lacking but the mileage is still really good. The Tech when new was way above the curve, and still runs at the front of the pack considering the trim level.

Kicks A$$
Daniel B Wolfberg, 03/02/2019
2019 Nissan Kicks SR 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT)
This is an inexpensive car that gives you much more for your money. In particular the active front collision; the side and rear collision alert; along with the excellent 360 camera system; and the touch/infotainment system, all make this car seem like it should cost a lot more. It uses regular gas, and gets great mileage. This car is a value.
4 out of 5 stars
It's an excellent value but an above average car.

2019 Nissan Kicks SV 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT)
I owned a 2019 Kicks for about four months after trading in a used SUV and going with something brand new. I bought it basically for the excellent value, for all the tech and features you get for the price and the unique exterior styling. But after a few weeks of owning it I found the interior left a lot to be desired. The Apple Car play and Android Auto were great features. The stereo … sounded good but not great, only sounded great when used with the Sirius XM radio demo that you get for free for three months with buying the car. The AC/heat was not very precise, it either was too cool or a little too warm, we had to finagle with it by manually adjusting it every time to get comfortable, compared to our older SUV which provided us a constant stable temperature. The Kicks is considered a crossover but I found it more to be on the car side than the sport utility side. It was more like a raised car and reminded me of my old Kia Soul. I didn't have any of the problems other Kicks owners had such as having to replace the front sensor, or any of the struts due to noise. I took it on a long cross country trip and it did have excellent gas mileage, but the 10 gallon tank was too small for my taste, as I felt I had to fill it up quite often for an economy vehicle despite the great mileage, because of the small tank. The interior was nice but the seats were a little hard and started getting used to it the more we sat on them, but it really did feel more like a car than an SUV. I didn't like the simulated digital tachometer on the left side of the dashboard, I feel that tachometers should always be analog because of my old school preference with cars. There was really no center console and I didn't like that the cup holders being lined one after the other and too far back, as opposed to side-by-side for driver and passenger, and there were no rear cup holders except at the door. I did like the two USB ports in the back of the middle divider for the rear passengers, the large cargo room in the rear for a car its size, and overall interior room for a car its size. The oil and filter were real easy to change as well, don't even need to raise it with a jack to get to the drain plug and oil filter. But I tried to like the car, and I really did like it's stylish exterior, but the interior was not enough for me to want to keep it for the long term to continue making payments on it, so I traded it in for a Rogue Sport, which met more of my interior and comfort needs, and I felt I was actually in a SUV in the Rogue Sport as opposed to a raised car in a Kicks. In additon to the Kia Soul I mentioned earlier, the Kicks reminded me too much of a Nissan Versa Note with a facelift. But I would recommend the Kicks for the value and styling and great commuter car, and looking back would spend for the top of the line SR trim instead of the SV I had, but if you're going to spend that much for an SR and want a more refined vehicle, you might as well would move up to a Rogue Sport or above, unless you want to stay with the shape of the Kicks which had more of an edge, rather than the more subtle sophistication of a Rogue Sport.I don't really have complaints in the performance side of things as i don't expect much out of an engine in a vehicle in this class, I was mainly more focused on the exterior look, which was great, and interior feel, which was not as great, of the Kicks.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2020 Nissan Kicks, so we've included reviews for other years of the Kicks since its last redesign.
