We review the good and bad of the heavily updated 2021 Nissan Kicks. This crossover is sold all around the world and is critical to Nissan's brand survival. They have added new interior style and technology, combined with a low price they hope to attract millennial buyers, including cost-conscious older buyers. Others to consider are the Honda HRV, Toyota CHR, Corolla Hatch, Ford Ecosport, Subaru Crosstrek, and Chevy Trax.

Honestly mad respect to you for honestly reviewing this car in its price point and taking into account what the typical buyer in this segment is looking for. Most other car channels would be taking this through the corners and going on and on about how its slow and the interior isn't as good as the 250k McLaren they tested last week.

Kia Soul, Kia Seltos, Honda HRV, Subaru Crosstreck, Hyundai Kona, etc. And pretty much all mainstream brand sedans are far superior value. The Kicks basically just a Versa hatchback but way overpriced. People blindly throw money at "adventure" marketing. 23k for a cheaply built hatchback with a 1.6 naturally aspirated engine is insane.

Had one of these as a rental last year and to be honest I haven't been in a modern car (2012+) in a very long time. I was a little surprising how well it handled and power delivery for the everyday driving. I guess I been out of the loop experiencing newer cars and only do so when I drive other family member's cars such as their '18 toyota highlander. I daily a 2000 subaru impreza 2.5rs and a lexus gx470 so I was fairly impressed.

Great damn episode. You obviously love higher quality, better performing cars, but you didn't let that colour your judgement of this vehicle. You rated it for what it was, and did it more fairly than I would have after hearing that lawn-mower drone as you accelerated in the video. Between this and your review of the Elantra, you are part of a pocket of auto reviewers who are keeping my faith in the genre alive. So I like it? It's okay, too small for my needs, and I would prefer a Sentra, but if the world finally puts an end to the sedan then the Kicks is what we have to replace it, I guess. But although there is a Sentra Cup race league, I can't see a Kicks Cup ever taking it's place.

The weird cvt movements is such a total bummer. This car has everything I want and need. Love the look and design. The price is amazing for everything you get with this vehicle. But the CVT is a deal breaker. I’ve been driving a 2015 versa note for 4 years. It’s the highest trim with the additional tech package offered at the time. I love this car and wouldn’t even be thinking about trading it in, except for the CVT! It’s never failed or had to be replaced, but for someone that drives the interstate everyday, I feel like I’m playing with fire. There’s a constant delay with accelerating that makes it very dangerous when switching lanes or getting on the ramps. I am by no means an aggressive or fast driver. So if I’m having issues with this, then there is a problem. I was hoping Nissan had improved this in the 6 years since but I guess not. Nissan if your listening FIX THIS ISSUE!!

I notice there is a "sport mode" button on the shifter. At least on my Sentra, sport mode tells the CVT to act a little more like a traditional auto transmission. IMHO, the "something is not right" sensation comes from the CVT doing what it thinks is logical without trying to pose as a 6-speed auto. If I had never heard of a CVT and floored my car, I would assume the auto trans was failing. Great review, thanks!

You gave the Maxima with it's CVT a positive review as I recall. There is a good deal of knee-jerk Nissan hate out there but I do believe they're trying to get it together post Ghosn. And I would easily consider this Kicks if it had the manual trans. Perfect vehicle for that.

These companies can honestly save billions by having 2 suv's, 2 sedans and a pick up reducing the cost of making so many models and trims and still cover 90% of their customer base as well as lowering the MSRP of said vehicles because you don't need to cover so many models with so many different specs etc. Really feel like these car companies are copying samsung with having a phone at every 20$ price point.

You don't get it. Americans are so crazy about crossovers/SUVs that manufacturers can sell five different crossovers and they will all sell well. Plus these manufacturers can sell these crossovers for higher prices than sedans despite similar production costs so this is a huge profit making operation for these car manufacturers.

What your sayin makes no sense... why? used car dealership would get a " used " car with only little warranty first off.. then they would add the little theres will give the customer.. well people tend to blame the dealership and not the car itself so your dealership could end up loosing money depending on the wording in the warranty to get the cvt fixed ectra.. The customer would see you selling them junk and not come back.. yet your dealership gets Nissans and usually needs to get the cvt replaced.. im just sayin your comment sounds odd to me as a customer. If i knew a dealer made the comment you just said id not shop there, not cause of the car but what you said.. " you purposely sale junk?"

This vehicle is intended to be a vehicle meant for city driving. It can be had with a 360 degree camera, which is rare for vehicles at this cheap price point. With the small size and 360 camera, it's easy to park. It gets great fuel economy. Nissan just introduced a new small crossover called the Magnite for India and other markets like that, which is similar to the Kicks but is actually better looking. It will have a 999cc inline 3-cylinder engine with a manual trans, or the same engine with a turbo with a CVT.
