2019 Nissan Kicks - Review & Road Test
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Nissan's newest entry into the sub-compact SUV market comes in the form of the 2019 Kicks. Making noise in an ever-burgeoning automotive segment is no small feat for small SUVs, so with stylish good-looks, standard features normally reserved for pricier fare and tech to satisfy even eager early adopters, the Nissan Kicks hopes to make big noise.

I bought mine 3 months ago and I really love it. I live in the city and I’m not trying to win races or climb mountains just drive. I love it and all the extra features for less. I was in the Note and this is awesome for the price. If you want a truck buy a truck, if you want a sports car buy a sports car. Simple
If you're Nissan, stop making these appliances and go back to your roots.
Jennie Williams thank you!! I got mine a month ago and is doing great! Yes it’s a slow car,when I try to speed up it takes time,but it’s a good car for who likes me lives in the city and also hate driving lol And honestly for my budget,I did get a lot with it. I am an ex juke owner,I had the very basic one before,I do miss the turbo but I honestly love this car!
Aie aie aie nissan kicks is unrealible !!! Be careful, Nissan has a lot of technical problems. I hope you girls will be ok
Im considering getting the kicks...had a versa note (15-19 was repoed while doing 3 weeks in jail)..just want to get an orange roof or all orange with a white roof
How has it been so far if you dont mind giving us an update
For "I don't know why" reason i really love the orange roof
Nuhan Hidayat me too, but my favorite is the white roof with blue body color
Martin Ladjimi I just got one, it’s beautiful.
Martin Ladjimi same
It's awesome!
Orange roof is amazing... considering getting one after my versa note was repoed....RIP to my versa note(in jail 3 weeks was repoed late 2018)
I loved everything about this car, the style, the size, the color options. I bought it and I enjoyed it while I drove in the city. My only complaint was the acceleration. With the 125 HP I found it difficult to accelerate when getting on the highway or passing someone. I could floor it and after two or three seconds it would speed up enough, but I never liked putting strain on my vehicles.
What do say you about nor being awd?
No sport mode? Strange.
I picked mine up yesterday. It's actually deceptivelyfast.
I was worried after reading all the comments and reviews about the HP, it doesn't drive like it a slow car. It goes wherever, however. Really.
How is it??? I'm planning to buy it today
Bro I just bought mines yesterday as well lol,and it's a dope car,and man I love the sound system in this thing ,very underrated
Hello. Does the lift gate open for the inside? Thank you
How has it held up?
How was this car held up for u
Why is everyone so against her? I think she's fine. Do I prefer her over Micha? No but we should give her a chance
Hell yeah! She's way way better looking...and she knows her stuff as well.
I like her, and she's gorgeous as well.
got my 2019 about 12 weeks ago and i've already put over 5000 additional miles on its odometer... this car is everything i wanted/needed and nothing i didn't, plus a few features i wasn't expecting but have enjoyed immensely... i love my kicks!
She improved her confidence! Great
nismoroger agreed!!
Nice rack too. Really accents the orange roof.
I see what you did there
Nice sarcasm
33 mpg for a non hybrid SUV is pretty impressive. That's better than some small cars.
Yeah, 33 combined so it gets better mpg on the highway. My 2017 Nissan Rogue gets 33+ highway.
33 i get like 40 love the MPG om this thing
Mike Lowery me too on my 2017 Rogue
It is a small car. It's a versa with a slight lift.
It's not at all a SUV from any angle, no manual transmission, no awd system. It's just a hatchback with lifted suspension
A clever well-articulated review. Makes one actually want to give this vehicle a test drive . Thank you Ms Woodward. And by the way, some of us did get the rt 66 reference.
Glad you enjoyed it, Caryn!
I have one right now as a rental. I really like it. For a vehicle with a low-horsepower engine, it surprised me with its low-end torque and quickness off the line. Just hit the gas, and it goes. Acceleration on the highway has not been an issue either, although I do live in relatively flat Indiana. When I did go to a hillier part of the state, it was actually really tossable and fun through the twisties. It exceeded my expectations, that's for sure. Also, for a car with such versatility and spaciousness,
A hybrid version would be amazing, but I'm averaging 31.9 mpg in a traditional engine, which is impressive!
There are a couple of areas where the cost-cutting is apparent.
1) Hard-plastic interior.
2) No center console OR sunglasses holder in the ceiling. (Maybe these are options?)
3) No manumatic.
4) No AWD option. I get not making it standard, but I bet some people would pay extra for the option.
I just Did 1000 miles in a rental over a week. Awesome ride. Came here to see the review. Agreed! Thanks
I just bought it today, easy to use and smooth little compact SUV.
YES.. I JUST BOUGHT ONE YESTERDAY. SMOOTH DRIVE. I PRAY AND HOPE IT HOLDS UP TO GREAT STANDARDS.
What year did you buy because I am strongly considering buying one this week? Also. How is the acceleration?
@@tholloman9860 Before you buy this car, check the air conditioner during your test drive...there is a known problem where the temperature control is either max cold or max heat, no inbetween. Setting it to 62 or below will be maximum cold temperature, anything above 62 is the same as having the heater full blast. 63 and above are all the same. Nissan dealer will just tell you "oops, its a bad design, sorry nothing we can do"
Also check the volume control on your radio, volume down works normal but volume up is jumpy and can be difficult to just raise the volume on the radio.
Bought a 2019 for my wife, and other than those two super annoying issues, its a fun little car. We bought the SR trim level.
@@romel420 would you recommend getting one? I live in Arizona
Would you recommend this car after buying it a year later?
Ive had mines for about 5 mos. (Kicks SR, Cayenne Red) Sporty, good looking SUV. I love it!!! Went to Cali and back..it did well with gas mileage and a very comfortable ride. Im satisfied!!!❤️
That the one i got
I agree that this will sell very well. I hope Nissan offers a more powerful engine option in the coming model years.
Aah thank you so much Nissan for providing that soft padding next to where the driver's right knee/thigh would rest. Such a small but significant feature.
You're a great addition to the KBB team! Great review.
I mean.... at least it looks better than the Juke
1mlb704 yes
for sure
But it sure is slower and for some, that's gonna be a deal breaker
(Full disclosure: I'm a juke rs 6sp owner lol)
I prefer this over the juke.
EMdemo own a juke nismo awd cvt I had high hopes for this vehicle but Nissan dropped the ball...
Gotta say, this car impressed me
Anthony Haripersaud doesn't take much huh?
We have this car for almost a year now. Last summer we drove from Douglas Arizona to South Carolina and back to Arizona with no any problems.
Love how they offer the 360 camera on a vehicle at this price, other companies take note!
That speakers on headrest though, you hear a vibes.
Excellent new still unbiased member team.
Hope she keeps out the good work and doesn't start complaining about how that car is inferior to the Honda model.
Nothing in Nissan's lineup, outside the GTR, has ever caught my attention but that is a pretty cool looking compact SUV.
Nissan now has three subcompact SUV's The Kicks, Juke and Rogue Sport. That's interesting.
Gotta fill in dem market gaps
What's the market position of the Murano in Nissan's lineup? Or has it been discontinued?
I got offered this car at the dealership and I’ve had it for about a week or so now. It’s adorable lol I’m one person and I like it!
Micah is great but this new girl is awesome too. I’m actually pretty impressed with this kicks it’s nice to see a clearly well thought out entry into a class of cars that has had a lot of half ass just ok entry’s lately. I would like to see how it racks up with the cx3 and Hrv I think it’s got more room inside then the cx3 witch is always good
Kicks with Juke’s 1.6T engine would be 👌
I really like mine had her for about a month she’s perfect for a smaller young family plus she’s fun to drive
Hi there, how is it holding up?
Even though the Nissan Kicks is the new sub-compact SUV (competing with the Mazda CX-3, Honda HR-V, Chevy Trax, Ford EcoSport, Hyundai Kona, and Kia Stonic, Subaru Crosstrek) It's really closer in competition to the Kia Soul and Toyota C-HR because those are FWD only. The others have the option of AWD.
NISSAN really missed the mark on Kicks by not making available the 1.6L Turbo! This car could really use it...Come on NISSAN!!! One more thing, 6spd manual w/the turbo would be great!
Yes and yes... oh but one final request.. along with that 1.6T and Manual transmission, throw in an AWD option available with the previous two mentioned and I'd be in.
In India, they have just launched the kick which is bigger and wider than the international version. Let see what price they announce.
The India-version Kicks looks WAY better and actually looks like a SUV. The U.S. Kicks is a horrible design.
Oh, so it's not equivalent to Indian Kick ?
Nice review, love your vids
Thanks, Miguel! We're so glad you're enjoying our channel!
Not as pleasant to watch as the other reviewers. She isn’t bad, but the other felas make this channel a joy to watch
love the review.... its fun to see where you are driving around the SGV
Not bad looking at all.
I do wish they would just add the turbo engine to the lineup now.
I'm willing to bet they will eventually, just like they did with the Sentra.
Until then..............
Can you get this beauty with a 6 speed Manual transmission?
I love this suv compare to hrv... the design is great and also the interior.
My daughter an i went Looking for a KICKS Nissan . All the safety features an gas mileage few added features on upgraded colors. 2020 S-model, 21-s or SV but I convinced her to Get a SR 2019 Grey with the Bose speaker. She luvs her Nova (car name) an it's faster then 65-70 mph on the Highway, Plus great in STOP an Go traffic
Great review, flows naturally and is to the point. If you're wondering about Micah, he's composing the background music.
She’s great! Keep it up
125 hp? How is that even street legal. Great review btw
Aziz lol love u r comment it should be illegal
You can do much worse
The Mitsubishi Mirage makes 78 hp
These compact crossovers are going to lose to the kona for being so damn slow and boring.
😂😂😂
Aziz that’s not much
Finally a good replacement for the Toyota Matrix.
I think i'll be checking this one out.
It looks to have the space i need for my scooter, walker. Now all i need is to find a dealership in San Bernardino
Ca. Thanks for sharing the video.
Love it but two things it doesn't have that I want:
1. A real automatic transmission
2. AWD
I don't need AWD but a real automatic transmission has to be better than Nissan's famously unreliable CVT.
@@josephbingham1255 Don't hot rod it. Go easy and service the transmission on time. No problems.
If it had AWD you wouldn't want it anymore. Increased price, increased service costs, worse mpg. All for little to no benefit.
Liked and subbed. I too found the steering off but didn't describe it nearly as succinctly as this reviewer. I wonder if it can be adjusted. Other than the steering, oh and the lack of awd, I loved everything about it and have not ruled it out for purchase.
Great commentary! Your good looks,makes it pleasant to watch:)
My mom just bought this in orange and it looks SMEXY!
Great review... I wish the kicks had a turbo 4 and more horsepower though.
I just love how they always just show the fully loaded vehicle haha then when you go to the god damn dealership the car is 10000 freaking K above MSRP !
Not really, even with the highest trim and everything they showed in this video you're coming in at about $23k. I was really surprised at what you get for the price with this model.
It makes sense though, easier talk about the features available if they're actually there
THANKS!. I have a Nissan Kicks 2022 and I was wondering what's that button for?. You can feel the difference with Sport Mode. Love it!❤
Isn't sport mode when you need that extra boost to merge into traffic? Is that only on SR trim?
Amazing Headlights !!!
The fact that she didnt mention zac in the end it means that he has left the building😫
No manual version... which is a MUST with such an anemic engine.
Definitely better than Ford Ecosport and Hyundai Kona, even if it doesn't have an AWD option
Better Looking, More Interior Room, and Best MPG..
😎Elegant & sporty at the same time. I'm trading my Altima in for this baby cakes
We just got ours Thursday love it
Still love it?
I like the looks but don't agree on the ride. It's very bouncy over broken pavement. Torsion beam rear end doesn't settle well when upset on uneven driving surfaces. It's also extremely slow, too slow IMO (so are HRV & CHR). Give it a turbo (more power), mulitlink independent rear suspension then maybe.
I like the partial digital screen. Nice touch.
This fall in line with the CX-3, HR-V class?
In a way yes, that also includes the new Hyundai Kona and Kia Seltos, Chevy Trax, Ford Ecosport. I think the Nissan Kicks is closer to the Kia Soul, Hyundai Venue and Toyota C-HR because those are just FWD only. The others you can get option of AWD.
I bought my 2020 kicks to replace my 1995 hardbody pickup. I had that truck for 17 years and it was already 10 when i got it. Simmilar power with the 4cylinder in each. Wish it was rwd like the truck tho and manual. I keep the seats in the back folded down and its like having a small pickup bed with a cap on it.
The "Kicks" pop culture reference came from a song called Route 66. John Mayer sang a version of it for the ending credits of the Disney film Cars. Great car, cute presenter/reviewer! :)
After owning this Car for a bit - It's actually a really amazing car
BUT - the software built into the car demands that you go to the dealership for maintenance - my nearest Nissan dealership is 30 minutes away, and always a long wait.
So if you own this car - be ready to take it to the dealership for minor stuff like oil-changes
the longer the car is getting more sophisticated
The "Route 66" references were pretty clever. Wish she didn't spill the beans at the end though.
“Good looking” it looks like every other bland crossover (no its not an suv) on the road.
But im not hating. Small compact crossovers are cooler and more practical than sub compact cars
KyleTVProductions cooler may be subjective, but is something like this more practical than a cheaper Versa Note?
I really like this! I'll be looking into one
Great Professional review... nice car.. one of my top picks thanks..
Complaining about lack of awd is for bad drivers for the most part. I’ve been through 3 winters with excellent winter tires and I’ve and I’ve been perfectly fine.
She's killing it!
Amazing! Can’t wait till I can drive! I want this car
My sister bought hers 5 or 6month ago.. at 8000km the light (dash) with no reason ..battrie impact..air bag.. and more.. and the garage told her no problem.. maby its the caméra who is dirty... 🙄... after 1 week she brought the kick to the garage.. and in THE MIDDEL OF THE ROAD ITS STOP.. all the light were on... no reason.. thé car still working.. but lost all the power.. I was realy lucky /no accident.. they had To come and bring the car at the garage.. To dangerous.. and they keep the kick 2 week..something went wrong with alternateur.. and the oil... other liquid mix in the motor... im french its hard To explain.... but de ask if she was the first to have that... because no recall... and they said yes its à problem well known.. Thats crasy... Lucky to be alive!!
I watched the review for mazda cx5 and this video. I need to test drive cx5 and kicks. I need to figure out which one to buy.
I like her!
And BTW, good job, Nissan.. For managing to get that model in the US market!
The Kicks has been in Latin American market for sometime (same as de Rogue Sport known as Qashqai)... It has been well accepted for being affordable and practical... That is a really good car for urban driving and mid distance weekend trips... And it looks nice.
I think this acceleration will be much improved with new e-power kicks, it could hit 100kmh somewhere at 6 seconds 😊👌
In 6 months these will be going for 14k
Alex Soto or less lol 😂
Señor Loco darn you beat me to it
Lol😂🤣😂🤣
There all over Mexico as rentals. I've seen like 2 or 3 on the road lately. These things are butt ugly and slow lol. I'm a Millenial (apparently it is targeted to us). I wouldn't be caught dead in this cheap piece of junk. My Grandma maybe would want this and she is like 75 lol
I'm a millennial. I like how nice this looks. I can't stand absurd stlying like that found on the Juke, Pruis etc.
You're right. Nissan doesn't hold their value.
I really love Nissan car. However, I got into a car accident on September 11, 2019 from driving a 2019 Nissan Sentra SV. A guy rear ended my car on the back for texting and driving. My car is a totaled lost. I am planning on getting a kick or a rogue. So the way it looks and how it perform the kick seems to be a top notch to me? The only downsize is the back room. However, if you want a better acceleration you have to put the car into sport mode where it can perform a better drive on road. I can’t wait to test drive it.
where is micah reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Still here, yo!
As much as I love Micah, I believe people need a turn at the spotlight.
Love ya, Micah!
MrJekyllHyde I 100% agree. 👍
He's on vacation
Micah Muzio I'm still waiting on that Cadillac Cimarron review, Micah!
Good review. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your support, Pierre!
I'll consider a Nissan in the future when they quit using CVTs. A move I was surprised by with Toyota in the redesigned Camry.
From India. We have the same model here. But the top end here misses out on many things which you are showing. Even our 2022 model misses on the color MID and those electronic features. And speakers on the nech rest .. i haven't seen this in any Indian cars at all.
I loved the 2 'get your kicks on route 66' hidden things she did
I love the styling. I’d love to see a mid sized variant!
I got mine today..wow
I will honestly tell you it's a very nice car/ride. Got mine in June. I love it... Perfect size. People in comments complaining about speed. Hey I am in New York. Cars Everywhere!!! In your mind you may want to drive at 80 plus miles an hour THAT is Only in your Mind.
Too many cars. Those who try have to be on their brakes all the time. Not gonna get anywhere with that mindset. CHILL AND ENJOY THE RIDE....EVERYBODY BE SAFE
@KBB Does the car feel sluggish? 125HP is not much at all
Who else misses Micah or vlysuk? He makes the videos worth watching cuz he's funny af
Great review Lyn! :)
Why anyone's mentioned the sport mode switch button 🤔?
No AWD is a dealbreaker for me. Especially for a small crossover.
I’d rather just get a hatchback if i wanted FWD/RWD.
I first time see your chanel
I like your review
Rolling Stones " Get Your Kicks on Route 66", which I play and sing...
I didn't like the driver headrest. It forces your head to sit forward. I had to recline the chair back just to get comfortable.
Nice review I'll need to test drive it.
She is growing on me, but I still prefer Micah. I would actually like videos where they both work together.
We want our boy back please.. Jeezus!! 😒
I’m waiting for the next Nissan kicks 2019
Anyone seen videos of people modding their kicks? Different wheels or sound installs?
Shes getting better 💖☺
SN: this is a versa with suv body lol
You could also say it's a taller and wider Nissan Versa Note
Charles allen jr Yep!
It's a replacement for the Versa Note just like the Hyundai Venue replaces the Accent hatchback
I have the 2019 kicks sv. Love it
Micah is the Cooley of KBB!
Best car review yet
Gotta have AWD for the Northeast.
