Pretty good car. Great light steering, average-to-overly-harsh ride quality, uncomfortable seat, but otherwise... truly a good all-around car. Not much else to complain about. * SR Trim is the WORST trim. Get any lower trim. Better value, better ride quality, better interior (no capacitive buttons)

[@bassw1758]

Bought one yesterday, on the fence, hard to tell, the factory tires are just so terrible, it's all over the road, but it feels like with a little bit of tweaking it's going to be very fast.

[@tonya.1697]

I think overall a very big improvement and a vehicle i could see myself driving. Too bad still with a CVT...i noticed that Nissan is ditching their cvts in some of the more premium vehicles (and getting more positive test drive reviews). Too bad they did not go with a traditional 6 speed auto in this 2025 Kicks. But i understand that the new CVT is allegedly a lot better and hopefully a lot more reliable too.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Sure thing! The 2025 Nissan Kicks is a compact SUV that offers a stylish design, good fuel efficiency, and a comfortable interior.

[@codincoman9019]

@@DominionAnako-bb7ry What about reliability and the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), the most important characteristics of a car for smart men?

[@BoopSnoot]

23:33 Typo, the AWD is 27 city/ 34 highway/ 30 combined. Also, its probably less top heavy without the pano sunroof. If you've ever picked one of those up they are REALLY heavy compared to just the very thin metal that is usually there.

[@JosephPayton-m9g]

Nissan their foot into this.. literally. What I heard, the design is inspired by a shoe and I think it really works on this. The kicks has always had a funky and fun look to appeal to the consumers. And I wanna assume the front seats are inspired by a person wearing headphones? It’s definitely a unique vehicle in this segment considering most are basic and nothing of interest.

[@JosephPayton-m9g]

24:34 that would make a good video at the end of December. “Most improved vehicles of 2024”. Many brands have stepped up their game this year.

[@BamaMark]

It’s a nice piece in the lineup. We are Nissan people. A 2024 QX-60 Autograph. A 24 Platinum Rogue AWD and a 2025 Frontier Pro4X 6 ft bed. Yep😊. All because of you guys. Nissan is the new Toyota.

[@JDMFR3AK]

My neighbor has a 2021 Rogue platinum. He has 90k miles and he always does a drain and refill on the transmission fluid every 30k miles. I told him always use oem fluid. Great gas mileage for long drives he says 😁.

[@robertgarside6238]

[@Erdie5]

Been seeing a lot of these around (I live near a Nissan dealership). Hard to read the name on the liftgate, was shocked when I finally realized this is the Kicks! And they put a chain driven CVT in it! And AWD! I kinda expected Nissan to just forget about the Kicks. Instead they made it pretty awesome for the money. Nice.

[@BoopSnoot]

SV is not top of the line, SR is. the new CVT-XS can handle the 2.5, but the SR is already very expensive. At that point just buy a 200hp Rogue.

[@occckid123]

​@BoopSnoot or they can put the 1m5 turbo from the rogue as the top engine for a 1k dollar option and get even better fuel economy than this engine and quicker.

[@BoopSnoot]

@@occckid123 the cvt-xs doesn’t have enough torque rating for the 1.5t, so needs more expensive engine and transmission it’d likely cost close to the same as the Rogue at that point

[@occckid123]

@@BoopSnoot a base model rouge costs over six thousand dollars more. I'm sure the difference between the 2 engines and 2 transmission. There's nowhere near six thousand dollars

[@BoopSnoot]

@@occckid123 If we round up, its 4K difference. You don't compare base to base but comparable to comparable. A base Rogue S has 17" alloy wheels, soft touch everything interior, independent rear suspension, and the like, which you have to step up at least to a Kicks SV AWD to even get alloy wheels. That's bit over 26.7 after destination. A Rogue S is $30.6, and remember its a bigger vehicle, with higher end components outside of the powertrain. The 2.5 is much cheaper and can still use the CVTXS, you won't ever get better than that and you're wasting your time if waiting for them to put the 1.5T engine and transmission in the Kicks, it will never happen.

[@KNRS927]

I’m conflicted on this car. On one hand, I want to like it because it’s just a functional vehicle and seems to work well. Issue is to me, its best bought at the S and SV trim, and sticking to FWD as you’d be at 23-24k MSRP and under. SV with AWD gets into 25-27k territory and there are better values at 25-27k and up.

[@Shrek_Holmes]

the only trim that makes sense in this car is the absolute base. and even then, is it better than the Trax?. its not really a good deal, AWD is not standard, who is buying FWD suvs?. you're better off with Trax, CX-30, Envista,

Most buyers care more about reliability over esthetics, this is why Nissan was never in my top pick when I was out vehicle shopping 2 years ago neither was I ever going to buy any fancy looking Hyundai or Kia, they don't care about longevity for their vehicles they care more about the longevity of returning customers to their service and parts departments.
