Hyundai Venue Vs. Nissan Kicks - Amazingly well equipped! - In-Depth Comparison Review!

The economy car class has changed. Those seeking true ultimate efficiency have moved to hybrids and electric vehicles, while the small car buy is demanding more from their small car than simply fuel economy, or easy to drive and park vehicles. That's where the Hyundai Venue and Nissan Kicks step in. The two vehicles in this video are each top of the line models, but they go about things in different ways, and one may appeal to you more than the other.

I have a 2019 kicks. The front-wheel drive makes it harder for snow. Yet it does have the wheel control button for that. Trying to go fast to turn, you have to use the S button. It being lower to the ground makes you feel every pothole. Yet literally the best gas mileage! NO trips to mechanic besides regular maintenance. I wish it had a bigger cabin. Yet such a great car!

I’m currently looking at a kicks and venue!! I think I’m going for the kicks. Thanks for this 😊

[@PeterLoweOne]

Thanks for watching. I don't think you can go wrong with either of these. As I mentioned in the video. The Kicks impressed me!

[@edouarzinmylove6955]

Me too

The Kicks SR Premium has more features, larger cargo and better interior. Plus the SR Premium Kicks has the Bose 8 speaker audio system with driver seat headrest speakers, 360 surround view camera with multiple views and a button to change views from front-back-side, rear automatic braking that works to stop you from backing into anything and works every time as I have tested it for metal fencing, cones, poles, cars and people, heated steering wheel, led headlights but also led fog lights, premium looking and feeling primatex seat material, neatly integrated 8 inch audio touch screen then a neat half digital gauge cluster with a 7 inch screen and display options such as tire pressure-audio playing-digital speedometer-safety features all around the cuv-temp-mpg-distance to empty-tachometer-distance following indicator and more. The Kicks is heavily packed with features and a totally loaded Kicks SR with Premium Package cost almost $26,000.00

[@JeffBrandt242]

I just bought a 24 kicks SR, upgraded from 14 ford focus titanium. I really like it

[@stephenwinter8892]

Hello Peter it's a viewer from your previous employer in brantford Ontario anyway thanks for the presentation I prefer the nissan kicks because of the smart fill on the tires and tpms because I have on my 2019Mazda GS sport hatchback

[@skywalker23702]

I own a venue limited 23 and it does have apple/Android carplay..I think it was worth price it's comfortable has plenty of space and safety features

[@kravk0]

Thank you, very informative!

[@raymondburgess6172]

Thanks for your review , i finally got the kIcks , GREAT PRESENTATION ...

I don't know about Canada, but the Limited Venue in the U.S. does not have wireless Apple Car Play or Android. That is only on the SEL version. Also, the U.S. Venue Limited does not come with a sunroof. No, Nissan Kicks does not have wireless Apple car play in the U.S. I went with the 2023 Nissan Kicks. I got the SV trim. Mine also has the black wheels like the one in the video. That was $500.00 more. I looked at the Venue Limited, but I liked the looks and cargo room better on the Kicks. The Kicks is also easier to slide into compared to the Venue. I can get 43.4 MPG on the expressway with the Kicks, so, thus far, I am pleased with my purchase.

[@PeterLoweOne]

In Canada it was supposed to come on every trim level. I didn't check this exact vehicle.

[@mastailler1649]

The SEL is the better version of the venue. The limited is literally LIMITED

[@toronado455]

I am a fan of the Kicks in that particular trim level with the optional Premium package that includes the Prima-Tex®interior. That is synthetic leather BTW, which I prefer.

[@PacificBlue51]

Great comparison. Thanks.

[@kwakithailand]

Comment for the algorithms, Peter 👍 Keep up your hard work, your continued efforts are helping the interested buyers out for getting a new cage 😊

[@PeterLoweOne]

Haha. I appreciate it, but never feel that you need to comment for the algorithms. This will build in time, and I'm completely fine knowing that not every video will be for everyone. Thanks for your support!

[@kwakithailand]

@@PeterLoweOne Thanks for your highly appreciated reply, Peter​🙏 Wishing you a great success with your channel. Will be watching (as well as commenting to) as many as possible of your VDOs, mate 👍

[@kwakithailand]

@@PeterLoweOne FYI: here were getting the 250 i-4 from Kwaki, but couldn't find any performance details as yet. The 400 i-4 we get delivers a bit more than 70 PS.

[@Connie-E]

I am thinking about these two and happy to find the two compared. I am coming from a Subaru Outback. quiet a change, but this is all I need now. One thing that I really hate losing is the electric seat control. I hate manual seat adjustment and even some of the higher end cars do not have it. Thanks for the review!

[@johnbee7729]

Great work. Thanks. The Nissan has a nicer front interior. I also prefer the Nissan's infotainment as it is much better integrated in to the dash than the Kia. What other competitors do these have in the AWD version?

[@carcal170]

I own a 2022 Venue SEL (USA version). I don’t have LED’s but I don’t need it because it is my errand car around the city (only). I don’t drive it at night. I love this car. I average 38 mpg in the city. My SEL (US) has trajectory on the backup cam. I don’t have keyless fob, I use a real key for the ignition. Canada and US models have different features!

[@irabloomgarden4999]

Good points about USA Venue. Also will confirm MPG, though being in the far suburbs I see low 40's mpg USA

[@nobsatthistime]

Thanks for the MSRP on both

[@Lellouch]

I was wondering if these two models compare with the Chevrolet Trax or if the Trax is considered a higher end class. Thanks

[@user-zs4um9lw3n]

Just to put it out there, one doesn’t necessarily need safety systems with automatic braking. It is possible to avoid or mitigate impending collisions all on your own, I’ve been doing it for 40 years now.

[@reedtheroom9580]

Hello. I wanted to ask you which vehicle would you recommend for regular road trips? I'm from Massachusetts but living in PEI which is about 10-11 hours. Between the cost of flying and having my car available when i visit home, I'm planning on taking this journey several times a year and I wanted to know if there's any difference in comfort and reliability. I know the kicks has slightly more space and a bit more fuel efficient but nissans make me nervous. I've always been a honda/toyota driver but i want something new and these are more in my price range. Thanks for a great video!

[@PeterLoweOne]

There used to be a time where small cars weren't great for longer trips. That isn't really the case anymore. Both of these cars would handle your trip just fine. At the end of the day, it's tough for me to say which one works best for you. What I would do is see if you can get an extended test drive of each model. If the seat on one works better for you than the seat on the other, that may be enough to choose that one over the other. Comfort is going to be a big deal on long drives like that.

[@cabaneencac5168]

Nissan kick even if it has a Jatco trany has a better reliability history on cars.complaint.

[@elizabethshawanda6022]

Wow, the kicks is actually very impressive. I thought I wanted to move on from Nissan as I have a 2016 Nissan rogue right now and I feel it’s showing it’s age. But this Nissan kicks is very nice.

[@PeterLoweOne]

The Kicks really impressed me. It's got equipment levels that I didn't expect to see.

[@Sorelizard]

I owned the kicks for 3 years before being involved in a hit and run, and I really enjoyed the car!

[@vidsling]

I leased a Kicks back in 2019, I liked it so much that when my lease was up I leased a 2022 Kicks. Loads of driver assist and safety features and this is on the mid level SV. I'm hoping That when this lease is up Nissan will be selling its Hybrid version in North America.

[@weakcheeks9310]

Presently driving a Mazda 2. But in the future I hope to get a Hyundai Venue. I'm afraid to get involved with Nissan's due to their CVT problems in the past.

[@laurasc84366]

I had my Mazda 2 for 7 years , loved it, made the mistake of going with Mazda 5. Hate it,

[@cabaneencac5168]

Did Kia Brantford fire you?

[@BlueBlood3]

My wife and I are undecided. We both like the comfort in both. Gas mileage importantly as is winter handling. So, it really is a coin toss. Anyone let me know , what is your preference or choice, and why? Thanks.

[@PeterLoweOne]

I think it's just a matter of deciding what REALLY matters to you. Sometimes it's as simple as sitting in both cars and you just know that one is more to your liking. Other times it's a matter of, "hey, I really like how the controls work on this one car vs. the other." See if you can sit in both cars in the trim that you want. That might help.

[@BlueBlood3]

@@PeterLoweOne thank you, yea, that is where we are at. Now just need to find the days off in a hectic world. You are right, I do think, the interior,controls and how you feel in it...that's the sale!

[@alexmoz111]

Venue is a good car for the city, in two colors it looks much better: red body and black roof or british style (blue body and white roof and blue interior, such as Doug De Muro`s review). I own the official one Venue Elegance in Ukraine, about one year. Similar to your`s, but, without driver assistants, without sunroof and keyless. Prices fo Elegance 23k USD, your`s version with assistants and keyless, 24.5k USD. With british style looks like Land Rover or Mini Cooper. But last time we have many Kicks from USA, which looks like Nissan Juke, but Venue looks better.

[@jonathanhuynh880]

Nice

[@reshahodges]

I love my Kicks ❤

[@toronado455]

You say Niss-Ann. I say Nees-On. 😊 That's the top trim level of the Kicks in the video.

[@PyotrSargsyan]

but I’m just wondering how you changed Fahrenheit to Celsius?

[@PeterLoweOne]

Canada 🇨🇦👍

[@PyotrSargsyan]

@@PeterLoweOne I'm just asking how it's possible to do it like in your video? On the device panel you can see that it shows Celsius and not Fahrenheit. How is this even possible?

[@PyotrSargsyan]

@@PeterLoweOne ???

[@herrtomas6729]

We don't get the Venue in Europe - but it looks like the one they market as the Bayon. Looks good for a smaller SUV

[@alexmoz111]

Officially present in Ukraine, similar to Canada version. Assembled in Korea. The factory sticker shows the address of the German Hyundai office. Head multimedia unit show EUR prefix of software version.

[@davestvwatching2408]

Either one of these cars could replace my Prius C. Lean more toward the Nissan.

[@PeterLoweOne]

I think at the top end of the segment, the Nissan is the class leader. Things like that 360 camera, and all the other features make it a real stand out. Things get a little more cluttered when you look at the mid level trims in each of these vehicles as there is more similarity between features at that point.

[@RicardoLopez-zw1st]

Nissan Kicks ❤

[@jerbsherb4391]

For those looking for one of these, just wait for the new kicks. It will be bigger, sit higher, have better interior and will be AWD. Hyundai doesn't have an answer for that.

[@herrtomas6729]

Hi

[@davestvwatching2408]

Neither brand is top notch now in the reliability department (especially long term) though the small economy cars do better than the sedans and big CUVs. (or someone who can only afford a small car may do better maintenance)

[@PeterLoweOne]

I think it's important to remember that the average reliability today is often better than the reliable vehicles of the past, so overall vehicle reliability has been vastly improving compared to vehicles from the past. I wouldn't hesitate to buy either of these vehicles from a reliability standpoint.

[@carlmontney7916]

I realize these are the lower end vehicles by their companies but I honestly would not buy either one of them both for the same reason. The lack of a flip-down armrest with cup holders. Or even a pull out at the end of the center console that actually has real cup holders. IMO that is an epic fail on the design teams for both of these vehicles. Do they not have kids who might ride in the back and want to have a drink? Yeah, I know they have pockets in the rear doors that you could slip a drink into but that is basically for a bottle of water try putting a large drink from your typical junk food drive-thru in That door pocket and see how easy it comes out without the lid popping off or spilling everything. Or How about a child in a car seat That's tethered in place on the rear seat. There is no way that child is going to be able to reach the pockets in the door. Which I already mentioned are really not cupholders. It's really quite sad that these are omitted because I actually like the Nissan and would have bought one except for that.

[@ShiYushi]

The kicks 2025 will have them, I currently drive 2023 and I’m really satisfied with it but 2025 is look so good

[@toronado455]

The Venue replaced the Accent as the cheapest Hyundai. It's not really a direct competitor to the Kicks SR in this video. That would be the Kia Soul GT-Line.

[@racineurr.8924]

Soul yes but not the GT line. Base Soul more or less. But the comparison stops there cause both of these vehicles have a 1.6L 120 HP engine when Soul comes with 2L 147 HP engine.

[@toronado455]

@@racineurr.8924 The Soul is faster, yes. And you're right, not the GT-Line. But not the base Soul LX. The Soul EX is a better comparison because it has the same wheel and tire size as the Kicks SR. Though Soul EX also has a sunroof, while the Kicks does not. However, fuel economy and ride comfort are better on the Kicks. So it just depends on what is more important to the consumer.

[@BoopSnoot]

Meh, with the Trax out, I can't see buying either of these.

[@robinstahlbaum9813]

driven both.. kick's drive is better... hyundias reputation.. bad bad bad

[@stevev1008]

The kicks needs a turbo version

[@PeterLoweOne]

That would be fun! The Nissan Juke was always a fun car to drive, this could be fun like that with the right engine and suspension tuning!
