I'll echo what a few others here have said in that the overall engine performance is actually pretty decent, especially for zipping around town. You're not going to win a drag race with the Kicks, but it's speedy enough. If you ease the gas pedal to get up to speed instead of stomping it, you'll get better response. The infotainment screen is easy to use on the S model I bought and the standard sound system has punchy bass and clear highs. Wish it had a mid range control, but the Kicks audio has plenty of kick! The suspension takes bad roads (which is most roads in PA) very well. Roads that felt very harsh in my Ford Escape seem much smoother in the Kicks. The downsides are the front seats being to stiff, primarily caused by the side wraps being to wide and protuding. A flater design would be better for those of us with wider backs. The rear seats are actually decent. The instrument panel is a bit bland and lacks a temperature gauge and for some reason the miles to empty gas reading stops once you get below 30 miles to empty, which is when you really need that info! None of the 3 models come with privacy glass, which means you'll have to do after market tinting if you want that. Overall, your view of the Kicks will likely be derermined by what vehicle you drove previously. If you're accustomed to something with alot of HP and/or a large interior, the Kicks likely won't be very pleasing. But for anyone else, this is a decent, inexpensive easy to drive little SUV with a good amount of cargo space. The 8 year 125 mile warranty that Nissan offers that covers just about everything is great for those of us who drive 15,000 miles a year or more.

We just rented a almost ew one out of Las Vegas. Drove over 1,000 miles. Fun to drive, handled great, enough power and very very easy on fuel. I've owned Honda Civics since 2005 but I would consider one of these too.

I just got a 2024 Nissan Kicks S model and for someone that has had 3 back surgeries with rods, screws and a plate, it was more comfortable for me. It doesn't come with the remote start like the description says. The remote start is only on the SV models.
Hasn't started every morning

Just bought 2024 Nissan Kicks brand new off the dealership lot. Loved it the first evening I had it. However, hasn't started for the first hour or two every single morning I have had it and not in the shop. Dealership claims there is nothing, then said they could replicate it, then claimed that never happened, then remembered replicating but it wasn't a technician who replicated it not starting, and it only happened once. Supposedly. Help me

We had almost 2 weeks with Nissan Kicks while traveling to Costa Rica. The car had about 2000 km or 1200 miles when we started our lease. It is a nice looking small front drive SUV with very underpowered engine that made traveling uphill difficult and boring. Sometimes the car needed such a long time to accelerate from 60 to 90 km an hour that even heavily loaded trucks we’re taking it over. Also the engine noise was very annoying and you always felt that this vehicle is quite underpowered. In the same time it was easy to park and maneuver. The front seats were ok, but not too comfortable after 2 hours in the car. The trunk spec was adequate and nicely shaped. The overall impression was that it is very mediocre vehicle not well suited for mountain roads and speedy roads.

I only had my Kicks a lil over a month now. I am not liking that when I go thru the car wash or it rains, I am having water in my door jams. I find it hard that this is normal. I have never had a car that when I opened my doors or hatch I had water in the door jams. And when open my back hatch water runs in the inside. So if I am carring something in the back that cannot get wet, I guess I am SOL. I was told by dealership it is normal. I'm afraid if I keep this for years I am going to have rust spot start with water laying in there every time it rains or I wash it. So my question is ,, Is this normal ?

This car replaced a 2005 Ford 500 that I used for getting around town and short trips. The car had 263, 000 miles on it. The Kicks has more room in the front then my 2020 Ram and my wifes 2022 Rave 4. I wanted all the safety including the blind spot monitoring which the Subaru Crosstrek did not have unless you went to the highest model. The only noticeable improvement is the tracking, which is noticeable from my Ram, but minimal. This is to be expected.

This car is a great value. For it's size it has an amazing amount of room and the seats are very comfortable. Great fuel mileage makes this car an excellent first vehicle or for anyone needing an economical set of wheels. The air conditioner is fabulous and the night time driving lights are excellent. A great value overall!

I normally drive a f150, but found myself traveling more throughout the region for my job and needed some with great MPG. Well, I spent a great deal researching every model and kept coming back to the Nissan Kicks, since I was able to get a new car with a warranty for under $22,000, which included tax. All models come with high tech and high safety features that I would have spent thousands more with the same options. Although the Kicks is not a super fat car, especially with the CVT, but it takes me around town, through the hills and more with great MPG. Most importantly, I feel very safe and secure in a vehicle that actually rides very good for its size. I gave it 4 stars since the car is a tad new, but so far so good.

4500 miles so far on this car, it's got an amazing amount of tech in it, the bose stereo sounds awesome, gas milage is above the rating on average im 39mpg , seats are comfy and are heated, roomy with lots of cargo area in the back ! I feel you get a real lot of features for the money. The only complaint if I had to give one is I would have liked to see more soft touch materials on doors and dash

I own a 2024 Nissan Kicks, I love my car but the only issue is for no reason the back window shattered sitting in my driveway backed in towards my privacy fence. The dealer fixed it but now I'm worried it will happen again. Has anyone else had an issue with their windows just shattering?

I just bought a 2024 Kucks. It had 700 miles on the engine when I took it on a 300 round trip drive up to Taos. I live in Albuquerque so this was a 3000 mile elevated drive uphill. Within the first 50 miles, the car really needed to be coaxed to get up to 80 mph and stay at that speed. I also heard the transmission shift and shift and shift trying to find the right gear. This car kept up this performance throughout the trip. It is no better doing small around town drives on level surfaces. My little Kia Soul never had this issue. It loved going fast. If this car continues acting this way, I will be trading it soon.

Dead in under 5000 kms

Run away from the Kicks and Nissan in general. I would give this car zero stars if possible. And Nissan Canada Customer Care people are liars reading off of script. It's not customer care. It's customer DONT CARE. Bought a brand new 2024 Kicks. It has only 5000 kms on it. It completely died on the side of the road. I suddenly lost power, car coasted to a stop. I called Nissan McPhillips the dealership where I bought the car. A tow truck picked up the car after 4 hours of freezing while waiting. This was on February 13th. On the 18th the dealership called me and said the alternator was gone and coincidentally the valve body assembly was blowing oil out all over the engine. They said it was good that the alternator had gone because otherwise the whole motor would've blown up. They then told me it would be 2 to 4 weeks wait for parts. After 2 weeks I called them and they said they were still waiting for the valve body assembly. I called them again on March 12th and was told still no.parts. I called Nissan Canada and they returned my call on March 13th. They said eta on the part was March 19th then it would be 2 to 3 days for the part to reach the dealership. They claimed they would email me with an update on or before the 19th. On the 20th I called customer care again since they didn't call me back. They told me part eta was now changed to April 1st. I spoke to the same person. He claimed he didn't update me because it takes 2 to 3 days to check the status of the part. I asked where the part was being sourced from. He didn't know....how can you know the eta of a part when you don't even know where it's shipping from. I asked to speak to his manager. He refused. He said they were unable to escalate my problem at this time. So...I bought a brand new car so I would have a reliable vehicle. It is now sitting dead at a dealership for 6 weeks and I'm told it's going to be at least 2 more weeks until the part comes in. By my experience so far it will likely not be here by April 1st. That day will come.and go. Then they will again extend the expected arrival date like they have been doing for the past 6 weeks. To summarize. I have a brand new car that is sitting dead at a dealership. I am making payments on this car. I am paying for insurance on this car. And I can't drive it. I have no idea when parts will come in since they have changed the motor on this car for 2025. And, the people at Nissan Canada donr seem to know where the parts even come from. Don't buy a Nissan. I bought both this Kicks and a Rogue in 2024. They have both been a nightmare but that's a whole other story....

I've had my 2024 Kicks for almost a year now and love it! They are by far the best value out there! Plenty of space, comfortable interior, exceptional gas mileage, plus it's fun to drive. It has more features standard than some higher priced luxury brands.

We bought a 2024 Nissan Kicks SV and it is loaded with technology issues. From a faulty garage door opener, a android auto feature that requires a wired connection and occasionally the USB drops out. Drives comfortable but with all of the tech issues isn't worth the investment. Follow up. Latest issue is the door switches don't light up. Unsure if this is a glitch or just a normal Nissan cost cutting measure in line with their low quality approach to tech. Even had a service tech come to my home to verify the garage door opener issue. Replacement control does same thing and I have a new Chamberlain opener that uses the same tech as the remote. I've own many different car models with the built in opener and this is the first one that is non functional right after the assembly line. My 2024 Subaru Crosstrek was near the same cost and it performs flawlessly. Expensive lesson to learn but this is the last Nissan that I will ever purchase.
