Even though I am a loyal Toyota/Lexus customer the Nissan Kicks should appeal to a lot of people. a lot of great features and tech.
Gotta give credit where credit is due. I salute you for that🫡
Unfortunately Nissan is sticking to their making ugly car practic
A great deal of tech and value here depending on the price when released. If only it didn't have a cvt I too being a loyal Toyota fan w just might have considered it 😢
It looks way better than any competing vehicle Toyota/Lexus has to offer currently for sure.
@@seanysj85the CVT argument died a long time ago. 😂
“you got 12.3 inches, you use 12.3 inches. That’s what my dad always told me.” 🤣🤣🤣 Joe’s hilarious!
I appreciate the man
I am so glad that I can share the laughs and the cars with you!
Almost thought he was going to shoot for a DP joke when he mentioned two 12" screens, but crisis averted
Joe’s straight delivery on the joke made it funnier. I don’t think I could have gotten the joke out with laughing. 😂 thanks Joe. That’s why we keep watching.
This is funny
Huge interior improvement. Very well done, Nissan.
Way better than last generation in terms of styling. Interior is an upgrade too. I can zonk the cvt here but the rest of the competition has it
This is so very true! Very good points!
The HP is pathetic
@@stavroslask1292 it’s a subcompact suv what do you expect…
@@stavroslask1292that’s exactly what I said. Like wtf?
@@mattmekhaeil I except a lot more in 2024 with regards to power!! Not going backwards with a 3 banger from
China!
The red and grey two-tone colors on the exterior is literally eye candy. It is that nice.
It also makes me think of m&m's
It looks like they forgot paint color all the way. LoL
The more i watch I know buyers who love small compact vehicles will flock to this. Bose sound stereo in the headrest? Bomb. Space is utilized so well. Infotainment screen nicer and bigger than big suvs. Damn Nissan this is nice
I'm digging the redesign, AWD is available, the extra length and space is a plus for the Kicks, thank you Joe and Lori for the video!
AWD + 8.4 inches of ground clearance is sweet, this is not just a city car anymore but can compete with the crosstrek market/any sub compact. Glad to see them finally addressing the infotainment situation for first time in 10 years on their new offerings.
Toyota needs to step it up with their interior design on the Corolla Cross.
Guess what?! I bet they won’t.
100% agreed. I'm looking at a 2024 Corolla cross hybrid right now and the interior has all the charm of a clinical morgue. And Fisher-Price simplicity but not in a good way. It's like the most basic and boring and functionless design I've ever seen in a vehicle. And to make it fully like a death related thing, you have yet another tombstone style - display that sticks up annoyingly rather than being inlaid like this. This is a million times nicer. The only thing I don't see addressed here, please tell me this thing has a brake hold function, and remote start in the fob not as a phone app! I completely disqualified anything Mazda makes because of the bullshit they pulled with remote start as a paid app
@@CaskStrength777 I own a 2022 Corolla hatchback. The exterior is great, but the interior while simple and easy to use, it's plain jane.
If this is the new Kicks. I can't wait to see the next gen Sentra! I want a Sentra with AWD and a little more power
A NISMO engine !!!!
Beautiful redesign on this Nissian Kicks. A Great first car for my daughter. Tks for showing this model Joe.
It should have an automatic transmission instead of CVT, it will be more eye catchy.
Put a 6-speed automatic in it, I would buy 2 of them as soon as they release. But that nasty cvt is deal breaker.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos! They are fun and entertaining. I especially enjoy your on throttle :)
I love my Nissan Ariya very much. I’m sure this new Kick is very good as well
"...real slim an trim"... its always a joy tuning in to this channel
Looks like 2025 will be a good year for the auto industry. Lots of neat stuff coming out. Thanks for another high/positive energy review, Joe. 💙✌️
Nissan/Infiniti has always been among automotive styling leaders…..not afraid of being bold.
I love your content Joe your my go too when there’s new cars coming out
Those “you can fit 2 twinkies in the center arm rest” jokes get me every time😂 Thank you for all the incredible content!!
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍
Impressed by the Kicks ! And you do a very good detailed reviews
all car turns into gold when he presents them...lovit...
That Nissan sure kicks the road! Looks good to!
Dude!!! Awesome review. I am NOT a fan of Nissan. HOWEVER. This offering looks amazing. The deciding factor (for me) will be pricing. Looking forward to a full Raiti-Review.
I currently have a 2019 Kicks SR and this is definitely alot of steps in the right direction! Way more upgrades and features. Really looking forward to seeing more of this w/ the added horsepower and AWD.
I love the Nissan Kicks & even it looks good, I feel that Nissan did a good good job. Let K stand for the price because it's not set in stone at this time.
I was at the New York car show on Saturday and was looking forward to seeing this. I was not disappointed Nissan I think has a home run with this one. I am a loyal Toyota owner… But lately Toyota has been annoying me and I would consider the Kicks… but for me, it is missing a power driver seat, rear seat, vents, and a power tailgate… nice to see the new tech Nissan put into this vehicle. My guess is a fully loaded SR all-wheel-drive will be around $30,000 - 32,000.
Love this vehicle!! Looks on the outside and inside looks great!!
Been a while since I seen ur videos. ❤ u bro, keep it up
I really appreciate that so much
Very nice! Giving some competition to the Chevy Trax & Trailblazer, Buick Envista, Hyundai Kona, etc. Looks really good!
Not at all what I was expecting for an updated Kicks. It's actually a great improvement. It not only looks better, but sportier, and like a more expensive vehicle. Very happy to see they added all-wheel drive, too. Since I think the Rogue Sport is gone, this was needed. Now if they could only do something about it only being available with the CVT. Can't wait to see you get this out on the road!
I love it.
I’m so glad to hear that!
@@RaitisRides I wonder if there'll be a NISMO Edition? 🤪
Very nice! This is becoming a real competitive segment.
That look nice I would buy that this is a nice ride. Only thing I see they should’ve did was give you some speaker grills wow.
Great review! Love your enthusiasm when reviewing any vehicle and your attention to detail. Love this new look!
Any estimated price for SR trim with a premier option package??
I read it will be 20-25 so 25 would be the sr
@@craigc187925k? That would be an amazing value!
@@craigc1879 $40K after the dealer gets done gouging you.
It's a home run for sure! I just returned a 2024 Nissan Rogue that I had rented for the weekend. It was great, but too big for my liking. I like the look of the new Kicks - inside and out, especially in the SR trim 👍
Love the lights on this. Be interested to see the price. Another great job Lori ! Oh ya you too Joe 🤙🏼
Looking good
I'm getting a SR FWD with the red body and black roof I'm soo excited to hear the new and improved 10 speaker Bose Stereo System 😊
Joe any chance you gonna head up to Boston for the autoshow at the BCEC center?
It is beautiful, excellent work by Nissan kicks inside and out and as if that were not enough, an AWD system
The interior is beautiful!
nissan is doin something good on this! futuristic design! wala napa english lang ako namil!!
I love your show, I think it'd be a great idea if you added 5 seconds somewhere to show where each vehicle is made ❤
Totally love it! Just wish it had more horsepower in the SR trim
I own one Nissan which I gave to my son at college. 2017 Maxima SR midnight edition....about 55K miles and never a problem....just replaced battery and never an issue....Wonder if there will be a Maxima upgrade soon?????
2023 is the last year for the maxima.
With a manual transmission it will be funky
Jetco CVT transmission! I'll take a pass on it.
I really love this vehicle. It will sell like crazy.
I had the 2019 kicks and OMG I WANT THIS CAR. I loved mine, only thing was the horsepower. Merging onto highways was awful since it didn’t pick up fast when flooring it to speed up. But this car looks promising. Love the body.
Looking Nice❤❤❤
This is a great car for the people who will buy it. Your average joe does not care that it has a cvt (which isn’t as bad as it once was). Imo, Nissan could keep the cvt in small cars like this and try to remove them out of their midsize sedans and they would be golden. It’s not like their cars are ugly it’s just the cvt that drives people away.
I wish it had rear vents. Last summer was beyond swealtering, and the back doesn't cool down as fast without rear vents.
I recommend getting your windows tinted if you haven’t already. Makes a huge difference when cooling down the inside.
Given the increase in size, now you wonder will the new Kicks replace the Qashqai model sold in other parts of the world.
I definitely think the Kicks will get the e-Power hybrid system by the spring of 2025.
Nice car ❤❤
Wow I was sad the Qashqai / Rogue Sport wasn’t coming here but this is great 😍
No rear ac vents???
Yes they do
So I got my daughter the current gen kicks. She loves it. So I thought I’d watch the reviews from the NYIAS of the kicks of other I follow and do a comparison. (Yes I follow others). But I have to say with all honestly Joe and Lori are absolutely the best. I mean the knowledge and insight and the insider info is just top notch. So thank you!!! Liking the new gen of the kicks too. 😅
The current Kicks is a perfect size for a lot of people. Shame that Nissan made it bigger 😢
@@davidjymWhy people are afraid of bigger space? Who wants to drive in a sardine can?
@@jraheemjefcoat429 is not the case of being afraid, but cars are getting bigger while garages and parking spaces are not, so it's just easier to have a smaller vehicle especially if one has to commute to downtown regularly.
@davidjym You can always buy a Mini if you need a small car. But keeping the Kicks small will be behind the competition. It's like saying I will keep a CD player in the car, knowing that people don't listen to CDs anymore. The last version of the Kicks lacks space and technology. These are people demands, unless you're not American. European countries can care less about space in vehicles because of their road infrastructure. The new Kicks is bigger. But not that big as the Rogue.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 well Nissan can make the Kicks bigger, but now Nissan should offer something smaller because of this increase in size.
Jatco CVT … enough said!
Diggin it
..nice lil suv, tht grill looks sick ;)
Omg this is really nice looking wish I was a small person it’s nice tho ❤❤❤
I’ve been looking at the Subaru cross track but this thing looks really really good. I had a Pathfinder in the 90s that had 200,000 miles by the time it stopped. Maybe I should come back to Nissan
This is definitely a Pumped Up Kicks! Lol All kidding aside I think Nissan did an amazing job with the Exterior/ Interior. Only concern I have is the power or lack of it.
Want to see a sport model with the 3 cylinder turbo from the rogue or that engine as an option
Priced right, this will absolutely be my next car! Very nice redesign, Nissan.
Odd configuration to have the amount of tech it has with a pano roof but manual seats for the passenger. Curious to see the price of this
Really nice vehicle, great improvement compared not only to the current generation but with others competitors.
As soon as u said ,cvt transmission. It was a no go for me.
Love it
Nissan will be very happy to hear that!
Needs a hybrid to effectively compete and/or more horsepower.
Simply it will Rule the Market for 5 years
Good video, good car
Joe nissan is hit balls across the ball park!👍👍👍👍👍man this company is coming out some beautiful and well designed cars ever!! Fun to drive and looking good too!!……sweet!!!!!!
I was all set to make the Hyundai Kona my next vehicle, but I think things just changed. Hopefully this comes out by June and has a nice price.
It should be priced very competitively
Props to Nissan for doing something different, but I am not feeling that red upper exterior with the grey.
Got a 2020 Sentra SR new. Never had any mechanical issues, minus a recall, just build quality.
Volume nob glitches so you have to use the steering wheel controls, the lane departure alert in the door will sometime rattle when you hit a bump and the window controls won’t work unless you lock and unlock them each startup
Always been a mixed bag, family has always owned Nissan and it’s usually quality issues if anything.
They did amazing with it to be honest.
IT LOOKS LIKE A BIGGER SIZE 😮 IT GREW 😅😅😅😊 I WOULD DRIVE IT 👍🏾👍🏾
It’d odd that it doesn’t after power seats even at the top trim.
Ready to trade my kicks in for this one
I feel like they could refresh the LEAF to look like this - the dimensions are similar anyway. New Kicks looks good!
The only thing I’m disappointed in is the trunk release, would have been nice if it was push/but since I am a kicks owner SV since 2019 /2021and the trunk isn’t that high so hopefully this was want be either…Great presentation
Unmatched by the competition in exterior design execution. Nissan nailed this exterior design. The cvt in the Sentra was always programmed better than the Kicks. I hope that they reprogrammed the cvt to feel more like the Sentra. Last comment. I hope that this is going to replace the Rogue sport also.
The improvements are very nice. I am disappointed that the drivers seat is not powered.
It’s beautiful but how much is it gunna go up in price!! And wonder what fuel milage will be… the current one is great on gas!
It’s a redesign Nissan Sport so except to have similar 0-60 and MPG numbers
Hopefully Nissan can get good crash ratings because rumors say it doesn’t have.
A big improvement over the prior version. Anxious to see MPG ratings and pricing. Are heated seats available,?
The rear end of the Kicks looks very similar to a mini Kia Telluride.
Onlt thing, is since this is prob the top trim we already know this 1 will be probably 35k ish
I like it but it really comes down to price. If it's 30k the Hyundai kona limited might be a better deal for a compact SUV. More HP and better transmission. Don't like the CVTs
I'm super frustrated. This new Kicks looks insane! My concern, "CVT transmission". Especially a NISSAN CVT given their history of issues and problems.
Since I absolutely love this thing in every other way, I would greatly appreciate your opinion on this one.
If not for that one concern, I'm ready to buy it!
I like it except the drive train
Date of launch?
This summer!
My favorite Asian Car Brand since the Infiniti Q45. Let's admit everyone....Nissan is wayyy more Premium, Established, and one of the Sports Car leaders than a Hyundai/Kia could ever be. The new Infiniti QX80. Blowssss Genesis away. Nissan Infiniti had us in a choke hold and still does. Go outside and look at how many Nissans you see on the road. America trusts Nissan.
This is worlds better than the Rogue and Pathfinder in terms of aesthetics.
This will bring down the price of the 2024.. yes! I'm looking for a 2024
