Hope you all had a great week! Sofyan and Rob were in Portland during this event doing another event, so our new editor Martin kindly stepped in! He did an amazing job and we appreciate his willingness to jump in front of the camera. It’s never easy to film a car, especially when you’re in a new city and given very little time! Hope you all enjoy and big thanks to @@MartyMotoring for the help 😊
I think Nissan did a great job with the new Kicks 👏👏 I’m not a Nissan fan but I will say that the styling and interior appeals to me a lot ~~ and yes people saying that it only has 141 HP, but it’s actually a good increase from 122 HP. And people in this segment don’t care about that. They just want fuel efficiency, comfortable, and just a good city car. And that CVT, it is responsive. Hope that this updated Xtronic CVT isn’t as nightmare-y as the previous ones. And I’m glad the engine is naturally aspirated so it won’t be as annoying for maintenance.
Yup! Rob has been Sofyan’s camera guy and editor for years, and now I’ve been helping the brand part time since January 2024! It takes a team to pump out all the videos 😅
The fact that this is a naturally aspirated dohc engine instead of turbocharged makes this one of the better vehicles for people who just want something cheap and reliable.
I know there’s lower trims but $31,000 isn’t exactly “cheap” even today’s market. It’s a joyless car but a mid-tier trim Versa can be had for around 20k
12:03 segment first? Right because the Panoramic Soul from 2014-19 was on a game of its own! 😻 jk This Kicks is a hot winner. Pd. U did amazing Martin! Keep it up! 💕
Nissan told dealers at the end of August to sell the vehicles at a loss. Nissan also announced they’re slowing down production of the Rogue & Frontier to help shrinkage. If $31k is too much for you, I’d say now is the time to get a good deal on a Nissan.
@marvinmurakami8828 When you are accustomed to having power seats, you can't go back to the basics. And the fact the higher SR trim is priced around $30k with no power seats is kinda a slap in the face, in my opinion.
That’s not true my Sentra sr has 19s and I got the SR with the“midnight package” and the tri color aspen white with gloss back roof and everything else blacked out and my car rides extremely smooth with nice weighted steering and a sport tuned , suspension . now my maxima rides hard asf and it’s an SR trim as well both of my cars are 2023 brought brand new
As long as this guy doesn’t act all high and mighty with the interior plastics and cheapness as well as the “missing” term for options not equipped on the car, then I’ll welcome him.
Along with Alma, what a massive improvement.And by the way i'm driving past a nissan dealer right now as I watch this and listen to it and there is a yellow one out front
This car looks like a carbon copy of a Kia Seltos in the back. Not a bad car and actually looks nice, but I wouldn’t get the SR. S or SV is the way to go for me.
@@mrileyga Yeah I'm deciding between this and the new Buick Envista too - The wife likes both but I think I'm leaning towards the Buick just because it kinda looks more expensive than it is to me, especially in person - Going to test drive both soon.
@@Stressless2023 The test drive will be the ultimate deciding factor. I've watched a ton a TH-cam videos on both. I must admit though, a first generation redesign has me a bit nervous. I'm more of the wait and see type, at least the Buick has a track record already.
@@Stressless2023I’d recommend checking out the Trax too. That will be cheaper than the envista while still having the same mechanicals and awesome tech.
@@blackwhirlwind1245rogue sport is gone. It was supposed to be kicks as their soul/trax/venue competitor and rogue sport the seltos/kona competitor but with rogue sport gone, this is basically trying to straddle two classes
Hey this looks great. But I still can't get a small american adult in the back seat without their knees up to their chest at the cost of class leading cargo space of 30 cubes. 3 more inches or so of back seat knee room and it becomes a usable suv. As is it's a 2 seater
I saw this dude serving pork sausage at the Sucrerie de la Montagne sugar shack outside of Montreal. He knows maple syrup, but not so much about rides. 🙄
@@ElginHuttlesfordNot sure what you are talking about, but I have had 28 vehicles and my own channel for the past 6 years. I am newer to the new car world so there is always a lot to learn 🍻
It's a Kicks, power is always lacking. People don't buy these cars for power. Cheap, easy to park and budget conscious. You can't look at this car from an enthusiasts perspective. This for the working mom and first jobers making $3500 a month Ask me how i know
Sofyan couldn’t make this event since he was at another, so I filled in so that we’d have some more information on the new Kicks. It’s hard to live up to his presentation style!
Those are actually a segment up from this and compete with the Rogue. The new Kicks is positioned to compete with the Soul, Kona and Trax. Sofyan was out reviewing another vehicle at the same time for an upcoming video.
@MartyMotoring Actually, the vehicles I've mentioned are in the subcompact class. Their compact SUVs are VW Tiguan, Chevy Equinox, Buick Envison, and Jeep Cherokee. Which compete with the likes of Rav4 and CR-V.
@@MartyMotoring After reading a few comments below about you, I apologize. I've been an longtime viewer of Redline Reviews. And I've grown accustomed to all the nuances and nit picking that Sofyan does. Because he is quite raw in how he speaks about the quality of the dash, door panels, infotainment system, etc. He makes it seem like I am going to be an long time buyer of an vehicle as you know this is the second most expensivest things most people will buy in their lives, number one being an house. So it would make sense to be very critical of all the nuances of the car from the ride quality, cabin noise, acceleration/fun factor, etc. - I did not realize you were a long time team member for the Redline company, that is why I apologize again, and hope you can go more in depth into things like that so that you may be a presenter that can supplement Sofyan at times like this when he is at other even. -From, a long time Redline Reviews viewer.
I address this in the first minute of the video - Sofyan was at another event at the same time, so rather than miss the Kicks first drive, I was sent to get some content. Sofyan will be back next video; I promise 😂
It's beyond disgusting to me to imagine when this car gets here in Brazil, with is where slavery still exists btw, and has a price of a luxury car. (To My definition working to not be able to afford 💩 is slavery. Kill me
Wrong this has plenty of soul and personality..... people that buy this want affordable they don't care about a soul... people like you are why manufacturers keep killing affordable vehicles and moving other models up in price..
I've driven the juke and without even driving this kicks, I would choose the kicks one hundred times over the only good thing about the juke was that it was quick-ish. The juke's interior was terrible. I mean, I guess it had slight personality, but that's about it like this is so much better in the back seat. Forget about it. Why is there even a back seat in the trunk room like you could barely put anything in there. The Sr trim should have the v. C Turbo engine, though it would get better gas mileage and be quick
Not as camera friendly or charismatic as Soy. I'm not expecting mr beast level energy and presentation of product, but this guy was so boring that i just kept skipping thru the video.
As mentioned in the intro of the video, I was just filling in while Sofyan was film other reviews in other states. I am not Sofyan's husand - Sofyan's husand is Keith. Rob is part of the team as well, and also not married. I have a wife and just a part of the Redline team.
Not hideous, but not beautiful either. Front end looks like a VW and the rear looks very similar to the Kia K4. Wheels are EV-style cringe. For that money I would get a CX-30 or CX-5 and get a far superior handling vehicle with more power, reliability (NO CVT), and residual value. The depreciation on a Nissan is horrible.
Yes the CVT in this car would automatically take it off my shopping list if looking in the subcompact segment, especially given Nissan's poor reputation for reliability - The Mazda CX-30 would be the top choice in my opinion also if looking to keep long term - If leasing or only keeping until the warranty is over then I'd choose the equally "decent" looking new Buick Envista/Chevy Trax over this just for the better power/performance.
I have looked my Kicks up, and I have not found it to have depreciated much at all, but it is reliable; everything works beautifully, so I don't want to trade it in. Plus, I get 40-48 MPG on the expressway from the CVT you hate, and 38 around town.
@@marvinmurakami8828 Yes I've read that Nissan changed suppliers for their CVT's but I still haven't seen any solid data that modern Nissan's will be reliable long term, so based on their dismal track record I wouldn't trust buying one - I would put the Kicks in the same category as the Chevy Trax/Buick Envista as "lease only" until further notice lol. Frankly for similar money I think the Buick Envista looks the best so if someone is only considering a lease then that's the one I'd choose personally.
Well Hyundai..... now it looks like Nissan is going to look exactly like the lineup of vehicles you offer. Hyundai started that display for the infotainment & Digital info center, and by 2027 EVERY VEHICLE from EVERY BRAND will now kook just like a Hyundai/ Kia..... pitiful. Not only that Nissan is copying exterior design cues as well.

honestly i think it looks cool. I think this design and the new armada look way better than their current design language
It looks SO cool. Unfortunately it's still a Nissan.
I can’t believe there will be a time that I’m considering now on cross-shopping this to a mini… good job Nissan!😅
😂 same
This one looks better than the old one.
0-60 mph: Yes
Top Speed: Yes
Actual Meaning: Eventually 😂
It's not really all that slow. It probably gets to 60 in the 9 second range.
you did a great job, the more you talked the more you relaxed. very informative. i love to see it. good looking car too.

Except given the HP gains this new generation got a curb weight bump of around 500 lbs. so it's a wash.
@@buzztruckeryeah but again most people will not care about that
I have to admit that thing looks great inside and out only problem cvt
Today you learn - the RR brand is bigger than one person. Great job!

This just trades the reliability of a non-turbocharged engine for the notoriously unreliable CVT transmission Nissans are known for.
@@Stressless2023Nissan cvts have been reliable since switching from a belt to chain system.

This Kicks is a hot winner.
Pd. U did amazing Martin! Keep it up! 💕

They are selling sr for 21 k
Loved the review, nice work redline team.
It has the approach unlock/walk away lock feature. Awesome
You're my favorite car review channel, love your consistency and structured videos!
Martin, you did a great job!
👏👍👌
I love the new redesign. Not sure why there is no power adjustable seat on the higher trim. Also $30k is a little high, might consider the SV trim.
And no power tailgate is a miss for Nissan. SV trim with the premium package is the way to go, in my opinion.
Unless you have multiple drivers, how often does one adjust the seats?
@marvinmurakami8828 When you are accustomed to having power seats, you can't go back to the basics. And the fact the higher SR trim is priced around $30k with no power seats is kinda a slap in the face, in my opinion.
Great review. Thanks so much!
0-60: YES 😂 But seriously this actually looks good and is well packaged. Good job Nissan!(can't belive I'm saying this).
I laughed at that. I don't know what he was trying to say with that. I have an older Kicks, and it goes faster than 60.
I’m between this car or the HRV. I have seen both in person and just test drove the new Kicks today. I’m leaning towards the Kicks right now
Just dont understand the need for 19 inch wheels, on an suv with less than 150 horsepower. Ridiculous. All you gain is a harsher ride.
That’s not true my Sentra sr has 19s and I got the SR with the“midnight package” and the tri color aspen white with gloss back roof and everything else blacked out and my car rides extremely smooth with nice weighted steering and a sport tuned , suspension . now my maxima rides hard asf and it’s an SR trim as well both of my cars are 2023 brought brand new
@@IWeaselUr Sentra has 18s not 19s
Not at all.. the ride is definitely smooth. Plus, it looks way better…
I don’t usually like Nissan products but this seems very nice and at an excellent price point.
for those who can't afford a compact suv anymore , finally saw some car makers make their sub compact look attractive .
kicks logo in the window should be lit
SV trim with the premium package is the way to go for under $30k price range.
Definitely the sweet spot
That’s probably the sweet spot, and without AWD. This car is best bought at or under 25k.
Fack that go all out for a vehicle in this segment with a cheap CUV like this, what are you smoking.
@@hnnotyy Huh? What's a fack? English, please.
That back end especially the tail lights give me bZ4x vibes
I think Sofyan is testing his guys, just in case if he goes for a vacay so these guys can do his reviews..who knows..🤷🏽♂️
As long as this guy doesn’t act all high and mighty with the interior plastics and cheapness as well as the “missing” term for options not equipped on the car, then I’ll welcome him.
Great job Martin but….what do you mean I don’t get a premium key fob!!! lol playing

Nissan aced this one. I prefer it over the Hyundai Kona.
I believe the 360 camera segment first was in the 2024 Hyundai Kona
Interesting vehicle. Tip - you don't have to hold the sunroof buttons. They are one touch. Push and release.
Love your car video
nissan really could have hit this out of the park by giving this the turbocharged juke powertrain and charging a little bit more....
The interior features are just as good if not better than the Rouge.
It's definitely on my short list but i can't decide if i like this or the Buick envista more
These are the two I'm deciding on as well. The Buick looks more luxury to me while the Nissan has better features. Tough decision.

@KNRS927 some owners have reported problems with the Chevy Trax.
With the exact same horsepower, apparently the new Kicks is replacing the Nissan Rogue Sport.
Is rogue sport still available to purchase as new car in the United States?
@@blackwhirlwind1245rogue sport is gone. It was supposed to be kicks as their soul/trax/venue competitor and rogue sport the seltos/kona competitor but with rogue sport gone, this is basically trying to straddle two classes

What happened to Sophan Bey that he's not in the video?
He was at another vehicle launch event at the same time and unfortunately can’t clone himself, so I stepped in from behind the camera 😅
@@MartyMotoring Thank you for the response. By the way, where was the launch event of the other vehicle, and what vehicle is it?
Any news on the 25 pathfinder?
1 more year on v6?
I mad they change the rims for production but everything else is solid

Was there a spare tire in that under trunk area?
It's a 180 dollar option, otherwise there are multiple storage cubbies under the mat.
step in the right direction in the looks department, but power is lacking.
