It was handed to me by Enterprise Leasing while my car was in the shop. On the Saturday night of my 5th day with it, a neighbor banged my door down. YOUR CAR IS ON! she yelled. Huh? I turned it off after last using it. I went downstairs to see. The car was eerily silent and there was very little ambient noise. I put my ear to it and heard nothing, felt no vibration. Then I looked at the panel: ON and blaring. It ate 3/4 of a tank of fuel just sitting there for maybe ten hours. Frankly, the experience spooked me. I'm grateful my neighbor saw what was going on. I looked it up and found an admission online that this car does this little trick. My 2003 Kia Rio gets better mileage and everyone under the sun is copying the body style. No way the Kicks gets 31 mpg in city driving as they claim. The car itself showed me 21.2 mpg on the dashboard. My paint job is finished in a few days, and I'll be glad to see my humble Kia again. Bells and whistles = trouble in the long run.
Perfect Sporty Looking Commuter

I have 2025 Nissan Kicks SR, gun metal gray with scarlet ember roof, it's a head turner. I absolutely love my car, it is the perfect commuter, fits anywhere and that 360 camera has opened up a whole new world of parking to me. I took of a star because my instrument panel monitor went out 2 weeks after I had the car for no apparent reason. They did a factory reset and I have had no other issues since. Frankly I do not find noise to be an issue, and in every day commuting the whole 0-60 time is not an issue either, no problems getting on freeway and no strain driving 70-80 mph on the freeways. I do not do any off roading so I did not purchase the AWD model. The interior is luxurious, especially for this class of vehicle. I am delighted with my Kicks.

I'm not sure what the formal reviewer did with this car, but I easily get 30mpg as a general default with every tank, and I track gallons purchased over miles on the trip meter, not just what the dash says. I consider myself a 70% highway driver who drives at the pace of traffic. I'm sure if I threw sport mode on and raced everywhere, I would see a drop. I onramp onto highways just fine (including one uphill onramp I use every day) and pass with ease. Yes, it's not as powerful as most cars, but for what daily drivers do, it meets my expectations easily. Road noise is as expected for a small, lower-line SUV, and the ride is stiff as stated, but I don't find it uncomfortable. The Kicks handles nimbly for a small SUV. My only big gripe from a tech standpoint is that it does not come with Nissan Connect Services, even the SR with the Premium package added on. Boggles my mind that Nissan omitted it entirely across the Kicks line. That said, the double large displays are amazing, and the Bose premium sound package is stellar, especially the headrest speakers—like spatial audio as you drive. The only odd operational quirk, probably related to engine power, is the AC. There is a significant difference in airflow power when accelerating and when coasting, similar to a sudden breeze whipping up outside. It is a bit annoying when the fan is set to higher speeds, but nothing that makes me not want to drive or use the air on full force. I redirect the air, and it's fine. Overall, I've enjoyed having the car so far. Hopefully the long-term durability is equally as good as the initial review!

I have been overall satisfied with the new Kicks after nearly 2,000 miles on the odometer. The vast features have proven their value including the responsive AWD in unpleasant weather. I've also noticed the refinement in the powertrain when compared to my '22 Sentra, Nissan claims a meaningful reduction in CVT friction likely contributing to my experiences. Ride in the SR trim Kicks is Rogue-like and when driven smooth, is exactly that. While road noise certainly creeps into the cabin, some reviewers blow this out of proportion, simply crack up the Bose... especially as higher volumes are the only way to squeeze any power out of the sound system. Lastly, handling is a positive for the Kicks, even when accounting for the negatives the Kicks faces in terms of increased weight and SUV handling-characteristics it manages to not get overly upset + can handle corners like a champ.
