Great review! We just got a 2023 SV with the optional black wheels, crossbars, muffler finisher, illuminated kick plates, etc., and paid about 24K. We are astonished at how nice this car really is! Like, something this cheap has no business having this nice of a ride! The ride is truly comfortable, the bumps are muted and the ride itself feels luxurious and is better than ANY other car we've owned. This is not an exaggeration. The handling is great, the steering is direct, the brakes are good and easy to modulate, the seats are super comfortable, there's plenty of space inside for adults, including a baby seat in the rear, the trunk is big, the doors close with a solid thunk, gas mileage is awesome, the stereo sounds good, the screen is responsive - I can go on and on. Truly, this car is a hidden gem! The ONLY negative is the refinement of the engine - that's where the cost cutting comes through (they had to make it cheap SOMEwhere). You both feel and hear the engine when accelerating - not refined. Other than that, however, when cruising, the car is very quiet and comfortable. But, that same weak-ish, unrefined engine gives you amazing gas mileage. Overall, this car is a HIT!
I agree with everything you say. However, I only hear the engine once in a while. Some mornings the engine is a bit loud when it idles. Other mornings not at all. I am glad it has blind spot monitoring as this is my first SUV, and I really need that. The blind spots are different on an SUV than on the coupe I had before. I have over 1,400 miles on it now. I drive it around town and on the expressway. I can get as high as 43.4 MPG on the expressway. I also like the Sirius radio. After the trial, I took it for a year because I got it at a very reduced price. Otherwise, it is too expensive.
@@Jan96106 Yeah, you gotta keep the SiriusXM radio subscription lapsing - keep ignoring their offers/reminders until they lower the price to, like, $5 a month, LOL! That's the only way. And, yeah, at idle, the engine on the Kicks is quiet. I'm saying, when accelerating - especially uphill - it's pretty loud and unrefined. But, that's OK. No car is perfect. And, for the price, this car is sure close to it. For me, just wish it had about 150HP and a more refined engine. Then, it would be absolutely perfect. Still love it, though!
Love my 2022 SV 2-tone. I gladly gave up a 2019 Hyundai Tucson for my Kicks. It's already been from Georgia to NJ and had no problems keeping up on turnpikes or entering/exiting interstates. Plenty of room and very comfortable and the ride is so smooth.
Great video! Thanks for specifying what comes at each level. A lot of other videos don’t include those details. Really appreciate it. ❤
Love your reviews as well as your choice of music!
SUPER review and nice little run about 👍
It’s a great car. Price point knocks it out of the park
I just got a 2023 Nissan Kicks SR with Premium/tech package. Its my 2nd one and I love it!
Good review & great Nissan.
I love the black roof the styling is really nice
Great review Drew! I love that you review so many affordable cars! Nissan Kicks gets me much more excited than a Ferrari because I can afford a Kicks! Could you review a 2023 Corolla LE? Quite a lot of updates for the 2023 model and it will be a nice contrast to your March review of the 2022 Corolla LE.
1st! Thanks for this review. This is something I would get if I wanted a budget friendly car.
Sometimes I despise the fact that I love performance. This is easily the best bargain out there in a compact, technically SUV. Which are becoming more and more insanely popular with the car-buying public. CUV? I think that's the right abbreviation. Good looking inside and out. Inside it's a Nissan Versa with a hatch and a tall roofline. But that's going to be perfect for so many people. Again, if I didn't care about performance, I'd just buy this or the Versa; and enjoy all the money I saved.
Over $40K for the average new car nowadays? How can the average person afford that? They can't. Those vehicles end up dangling from a repo-man's hook. The Kicks and the Versa are two that aren't likely to end up getting towed away. In general I like the SV trim most of all.
Also, thank you for including 0-60mph. times. So sick of so many other car review channels that leave that out. It's a good baseline for acceleration on the parkway. Last thing you want is a vehicle so slow, you get run over trying to use the entrance ramp.
Surprising if the steering is stiff. My 2020 altima that thing has like no resistance when steering.
Hey I’m liking to purchase Nissan kicks - don’t know if I should just buy the sv edition or spend the extra which is 2800 extra gets me the sr premium.
I’m on a budget but at the same time don’t know which is the better deal aka better choice
Any help would be appreciated ✨
I just got the 23 SR in Red/Black, I kind of wish I had gotten blue though. It's definitely a commuter car or a daily driver, I think it's not even fair to call it an SUV
@@dukeofurl01 People calling it an SUV are making that choice on their own. It's a crossover and that's how it's promoted. Not an SUV, but a sub-compact crossover, which is what it is.
Or get the SR that isn't the Premium, unless you want the Premium features. I didn't want the leatherette or speakers in the headrests, so the SR worked out great and was only fractionally more than the SV.
Like it but no sunroof especially in the upper trim SR icould possibly be a no sale for me.
Sunroofs commonly become an issue later on with leaks.
How is this car on dirt and gravel roads?
Does it not have an AWD option?
Heard next year 2024
Does it have a cd player?
No
Is it come with sun roof?
No. That's about the only feature you can't get.
I think Kicks is pretty much the best deal out there … I’m in the market for affordable basic vehicle as a first car for my daughter , and so far nobody can touch this price wise … everyone here talking about Trax, Renegade etc are blabbing nonsense , none of those are available for 20K …
We have a lot of cars, and one of the fleet is a 2018 Kicks. I find myself wanting to drive that one a lot, LOL, just because it's so much fun to swing around. We've taken it on longer highway trips too, and it's surprisingly composed on interstates, and of course the fuel economy is solid. I've been leaving a Saab and BMW in the garage, leaving an Armada and other cars in the driveway, and getting in the Kicks. Might take it on a 16 hour round trip later this week.
Does Nissan still have CVT issues? Engine failures?
The stigmatism is still there, people still believe that but those issue are in the past for Nissan in my opinion
Nice car but you can't buy MSRP price out of the door because they come with factory add ons. The Kicks are selling like hotcakes. ^_^
Buy this for under 23 000 grand and ask for the heated steering wheel.. They'll cave
Guess you have never tried to get onto the LIE in rush hour traffic as this is way too slow. Too bad we don't get the 3 cyl turbo overseas gets. Selling this with drum brakes, one of the last vehicles with such an inferior setup just to save a few bucks leaves me wondering where else they cut corners. The FWD only is another area that it totally falls short.
They might discontinue the Rogue Sport and redesign the Kicks for 2024, and offer AWD. With the Rogue and Rogue Sport offering AWD, there was no reason for this Kicks to have it. All that would do is take interior volume from the model and for no reason, since Nissan has two other crossovers in the lineup that offer it. Fact of the matter is that the Kicks has become popular enough that they can afford to end the Rogue Sport, make the Kicks larger and offer AWD. And honestly, the fact that the little car came with the naturally aspirated engine and early models had drum brakes, doesn't mean they cut corners anywhere else. It's actually the opposite----by doing that, it freed up the money to give it a nicer interior, and more standard tech features. The things they decided turned out to be correct based on the growth of sales of the modestly priced little car.
@@funktron4 Rogue Sport is discontinued in the US as far as I know.
I bet the Kicks will end up as a hybrid with an eAWD system.
Some are saying it's like a golf cart
Some are morons.
Absolutely not.
Make sure you spend time in the seats before buying. Like sitting on cardboard.
Really? I thought Nissan was famous for having the most comfy seats aka NASA's zero gravity seats?
@@braetonwilson4296 yes, the Altima and rogue are very comfortable. Kicks and Sentra not so much.
@@theguy4615 I have an older Sentra and love the seats. I think it's all personal preference.
@@theguy4615 Rogue comfortable? IO tried Rogue 2022, coming from Infiniti Q60 2014 [no longer need 3 rows], and I was super shocked at how UNCOMFORTABLE the seats were. Seriously, total murder IMHO.
No it's not. It's comfy.
😌👍
No stop at stop sign? 😂
A1 transmission CVT continuous variable transmission ain’t no true automatic is the worst transmission to go on the market. Know that it was a true automatic transmission maybe I’ll consider it but does that come in a manual transmission a word a dime. Maybe for those kids or lazy know if they don’t want to learn how to drive manual transmission cars. Which is 100 hp that’s low standards. Nobody wants a rubber band transmission CVT is help me with most people don’t know about that that’s one reason Nissan has terrible reputation on a transmission
So many new vehicles come equipped with those ugly black wheels. Maybe they appeal to the younger buyers, but as an older person I hate them.
Can you review the 2023 Jaguar E-Pace?
Ok i will
Jeep renegade the best compact suv on the market : no cvt !
I've seen that fuel economy is abysmal, so definitely something to also consider. But no CVT is a solid pro! Specially the Nissan CVTs.
Jeep anything is junk and money pits.Ihad at least 2 family members that had jeeps and they both had all kinds of problems. Elecrical,Transmission problems etc.
@@ecobasetech4558 what kind of jeep
@@FingerBoy10 I’m saying. Volvo makes a really nice sub compact but it’s out of my budget 😂. I’m coming from a Lexus rx350 and that got around 21 combined while the renegade I rented homing in around 24-25 so still an upgrade.
The FIAT? It's not bad. It's a FIAT rebranded as a Jeep, but it's not a bad little vehicle.
this car is horrible. I think Ford's EcoSport is better and so is the new Chevy Trak.
BMW's i3 is way better than the Kicks.
But can you buy any of thise examples for 23k?.I dont think BMWs sell for less than twice that cost. And why would you even cimpare a BMW to something like this in the first plaxe?
@@ecobasetech4558
You can get a used BMW i3 2017 for around $24k and its the same size as the Nissan Kicks. The i3 is a better built car and it handles way better. Yes, brand new BMW i3 are about $55k to $60k but they are no longer shipped to the USA.
@@mamadouaziza2536 with how many miles? What year? used you are likely buying someone else's problem and BMWs are ridiculously expensive to repair. Total cost of ownership should be taken into account not just price
@@ecobasetech4558
You can get a used BMW i3 2017 with 20k miles for about $25k or less..
Electric cars don't need a lot of maintenance. Obviously, you would have the car and battery tested and purchase a bumper to bumper warranty.. You can also lease these used car too...
I'm not really into cars, but I can't be sitting in a cheap car that looks and feels cheap and has no power.. At least the i3 feels like a premium car and drives like one. Just before the pandemic when the Tesla Model 3 was super hot and selling out, you could get an early i3 with the smaller battery for $13k, now the same car is $20k.
this has to be the dumbest comment I’ve read in a long time 😂… what are you , 12?
