- Reliability (4)Nissan vehicles generally have a good reputation for reliability, and the Kicks is expected to follow suit. The powertrain is well-tested and robust.
- Maintenance (4)Maintenance costs for the Kicks are typically low, thanks to readily available parts and a simple mechanical design. Fuel economy is also a strong point, contributing to lower running costs.
- Technology (3)The S trim is basic, featuring a standard infotainment system that is functional but lacks advanced features like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The sound system is adequate.
- Comfort (4)The front seats are surprisingly comfortable for long drives, and there's a good amount of headroom. Rear legroom is adequate for most adults, and the ride quality is generally smooth over bumps.
- Dynamics (3)The Kicks offers decent handling for city driving, but it's not particularly sporty or engaging on the open road. The steering is light, which is good for parking, but lacks feedback.
