- 2019 Nissan Kicks Test Drive, by autoTRADER.ca
In this video, Justin Pritchard test drives the new Nissan Kicks - a small crossover that needs to be on your radar if a low price and lots of cargo room are more important than all-wheel drive (AWD).
The Nissan Kicks is excellent, but AWD isn't an option. Tester is a top-line Nissan Kicks SR.

You are the first reviewer who mentioned all the features that attracted me to the car and why I chose the Kicks over other cars. I remember getting into the Venue and noting, "This hurts my injured leg and is harder to get into than the Kicks. I just slid into the Kicks. It was the perfect height." Then when I went around to the back and they opened the cargo space, my disappointment was palpable. I realized how much bigger the cargo space was on the Kicks. The cargo space on the Kicks is bigger than on a lot of SUV's. I consider the Kicks an SUV. I don't see the difference between it and many of compact the SUV'S I park next to (except for the price). Then the Hyundai dealer added $1,400.00 in insurance options and protective pin-striping I had to take before he'd sell me the car, and I left the Venue dealer and headed to the Nissan dealer. (I had been driving a Kicks as a rental car and liked it.) Almost a year later and everything is still fine. I have the SV version. If I had it to do again, I might go for the SR version because I'd like the LED headlights, the tonneau cover, the 360 camera, and the softer padding on the dash. But the SV price is attractive with a plethora of safety features.
Hello! I would like to let Justin know that as a Kicks owner, I truly appreciated this review. In other reviews I noticed everyone wants to compare it to something else. IMO it’s in a class of its own, and yes, I do agree, I wish I had a bit more storage up front but I love my car.
Also, everyone seems to forget that the Kicks has a sports mode. On the SR, which is what I’m driving, there is a button on the gear shift. I figured I’d just mention that last part.
I also use to drive a Nissan Versa hatchback. There is a lot more room in the Kicks.
I needed this, I have looked at several cross overs and to be honest this one is definitely in its own league!
Hi, how is the fuel economy? The good and the bad of this car please . I will be having a 1h 30 min drive so it’s important to see the fuel part thanks!
You are the best. When I listen to you , I feel you exactly know all my needs and and wants and answer all my questions .
Justin! Great to see you, man!
I'm a little disappointed that the uber-quirky Juke has left the North American market, though Nissan seems to have a hit on their hands, in the Kicks. And like the Micra, the smallest Nissans seem to have fun factor built in (inspite of the CVT only option).
Good review, keep up the good work!
Thanks and good seeing you too :)
I bought one this yesterday It has a big space trunk and its taller than honda HRV very hight tech very :) the height is slightly lower than the nissan Rogue
Hi, i would love to listen to your Nissan kicks review now. I will be driving 1h daily on the road ( Quebec) How is the fuel economy? Thanks!
The Nissan Versa hatchback, I love it.
I neeed to know what you think about the drive in snow since it’s FWD
Ak’s Alfa & Adventures I haven’t had any issues with snow. I moved from NJ to Michigan and have seen much snow. There’s even snow here right now. I love my car- just don’t drive recklessly and brake ahead of time and everything’s fine.
@@TopazEats was looking at this video to see if it would work well on dirt roads in Michigan winter. Did you drive on any dirt roads or just paved?
I live on saskatoon, SK where snow usually turns into ice. So far it has been tough driving with my Nissan Kicks even with winter tires from the dealership. It's do-able but I have a tough time driving over the snow when i have come to a complete stop so you always have to be careful when waiting for your left or right turns.
"Nissan calls this a crossover and it sort of looks like one" LOL! Precisely! Great choice for all of those people who are looking for a car that looks like a crossover, even though it's really not haha.
Is the traction control any good since no awd? With a set of blizzak how would you compare it to a 2015 kia rio? I know it's a special question but i'm about to buy one so what's your opinion? Thanks!
Nissan should provide a NON-Push Button start option and add a center covered storage.
DAVID Y why tho as long as it starts up who cares and they do with the Nissan rouge
I have a 2016 Nissan versa that had a key with no power windows or locks.
*_I love One Pedal Technology used in smart mode (e-Power Version)!_*
How is this car in snow??
Would you say this is a high riding versa? My parents currently own a 2013 versa nearing 200,000 miles and they were thinking of buying another one. Their only complaint is that their current car rides low and they are getting older. Is there another car you would recommend for two empty nesters?
Richard Reyes nissan juke
@@mannygarcia8222 Juke is discontinued. Richard----this rides higher than a Versa. The new 2019 Versa is really nice, but for utility, riding height, space----I'd suggest the Kicks. The value is amazing.
A mechanic for 52 years said ''Nissan don't last long there transmission are bad pleaser don't get a Nissan get a Toyota lastest longer" -scotty
👍👍👍I just got mine and it is really great
Thank you for sharing this video. I have the top of the line 2021 Kicks SR. Do you happen to know if it performs in the same manner? I'm going to be up in the snow this winter and was looking for some help in this department. Thank you kindly in advance.
The Kicks is perfectly fine in winter, given you fit it with a quality set of winter tires and drive according to conditions! (By the way, here's a more recent review we've done of the 2021 Kicks SR: ruclips.net/video/nAbI8uecmkw/видео.html.)
@@danilika9420 awesome, thank you so much! Really appreciated
Is this car good in the snow?
Most 2WD vehicles would be fine with a set of snow tires ...........
@@davidjym The greatest marketing ploy ever achieved was convincing everyone that they need awd/4x4... it's just a waste of money... more expensive to buy, more expensive to fuel, more expensive to insure, and more expensive to fix/maintain.
If you're smart and know how to drive in the snow (gentle on the accelerator, gentle on the break, always leave plenty of room ahead of you, never break during a skid, and never drive over 45mph on fresh snow/ice) then you don't even need snow tires, though they do help, and you certainly don't need awd/4x4!
The only exceptions I can think of are if you live on a steep hill and/or live way out in the country where your roads are the last to be plowed.
Just a bit bigger then Matrix/Vibe.
It's a shame Toyota stopped offering the Matrix ...............
no AWD is trash on something like this.. It's like buying a FWD Honda Ridgeline.. Worthless
Unless you know how to... well, you know... drive. I have lived my entire life, in Michigan (we get a ton of snow) without AWD and never missed it. Learn how to drive and AWD is just a waste of money. Nice to have, but completely needless, in everyday driving conditions. Just ask my next door neighbor who gets her AWD vehicle stuck in her driveway, every morning (while me and my FWD do just fine).
it´s not better than the Vitara ALLGRIP 4WD
Give us the 2020 juke in the US the kicks is trash
Nissan canada is the worst car company ever in Canada I bought new Nissan Rogue it is nightmares alot of issues from day one even with platinum warranty still i have to pay and get " Sorry " from Nissan and extremely rude customer service.. alot of bad experience stories you can read in Nissan Canada reviews in Google before deciding to buy any Nissan car no wonder it sale dropped 9.9% in 2019
Just buy a Kia Soul for similar money.
Daniel Gross a base model soul with no options or accessories is more than the kicks, we’ve owned 2 Kia souls both with electrical problems that the dealer couldn’t figure out, I’d personally get a Toyota (too expensive) but the wife like the kicks, just bought it last night and I’m kinda like it now.
So it's slower and has less space inside than a Versa while costing more. I guess the marketing might be able to get some gullible people. Terrible car though. I mean it has drum brakes in the rear. It's 2019 and it has drum brakes. Cost cutting at its finest
What an idiot. Do you think people buying the Kicks are doing hot laps around the Nurburgring? The Kicks is a light car with high center of gravity, which means less load on the rear brakes. Drums brake are more efficient, keep dirt & debris out, and simpler to incorporate parking brake. Save the money and give the buyer tangible stuff like fuel efficiency, lots of cargo space, proximity key, remote start, premium stereo system, knee airbag, blind spot warning, LCD Gauge, Car play/Android Auto, LED headlights, heated mirror and seats, etc. I'll bet you won't find a car with all that for less money.
Oh, by the way, with drum rear brakes, the Kicks' 0-60 stop is shorter than the Civic, Golf & Corolla with disc rears. The 2019 Corolla's standard rear brakes are drums; they have the option of rear discs for idiots that are dreaming of testing the Nurburgring lap record.
Blake Swan a versa has horsepower of 109
@@HLMAX He's a moron.
It does not have less space than a Versa. It is not slower than a Versa. Did you watch the video?
