Large SUVs aren't always the best answer for your daily drive. Sometimes you want a vehicle that's quick, agile, and efficient - subcompact SUVs check off all these boxes! With the Nissan Kicks, you'll find a peppy model equipped with the latest Nissan features and ready to challenge your notion of what a smaller SUV can do. If you're looking for a fun way to get around town, the Nissan Kicks will take you there in style!
No model stands alone at the top. Popular competition like the Kia Seltos and Honda HR-V can make it hard to decide on the model that's right for you. Below, you'll find a comparison of the Nissan Kicks to the two rivals. We'll detail where the Nissan SUV holds the edge and why we think you'll prefer it over options from Honda and Kia. Let us know if you have any questions on our comparisons!
Nissan Kicks vs. Kia Seltos
Going as far as you want is a specialty of the Nissan Kicks lineup. The Kicks comes with a standard 1.6-liter powertrain that delivers 122 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque. With the Kia Seltos, you'll have two engine options, including a base model that pushes out 146 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. However, more power doesn't translate to a more efficient experience. The Seltos provides an EPA-estimated 27/31 mpg city/highway. With the Nissan Kicks, you're going to get better fuel economy performance - the Kicks offers 31/36 mpg city/highway. When you perform as well in the city in the Kicks, you're bound to love every minute behind the wheel.
Creating a safe environment for you and your family should be priority number one when searching for a new vehicle. While the Nissan Kicks is a budget-friendly option, that doesn't mean you'll sacrifice driver assistance technology to get to that price point. The new Kicks comes with the Nissan Intelligent Mobility™ package, a suite of features that alerts and helps avoid unpleasant situations on the road. The Kicks equips standard rear automatic braking, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert standard to its lineup. While the Kia Seltos offers similar options for its drivers, features like blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert will require an upgrade to more expensive trim levels.
Nissan Kicks vs. Honda HR-V
The Nissan Kicks and Honda HR-V are similar in many aspects, but when it comes to standard features, the Honda SUV can't compete. The Kicks utilizes a seven-inch touchscreen, integrated with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ technology to help you enjoy your music and apps from the road. Safety features like Rear Automatic Braking, Lane Departure Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection are all standard, as are features like Blind-Spot Warning and Rear-Cross Traffic Alert. The Honda HR-V requires you to upgrade to more expensive trim options to get a touchscreen, smartphone integration, and even access to its Honda Sensing® driver assistance features.
The Honda HR-V employs a more powerful standard engine than the Nissan Kicks, but you'll need to find the closest gas station at more frequent intervals if you opt for the Honda SUV. The HR-V gets an EPA-estimated 28/34 mpg. With the Nissan Kicks, you'll spend more time driving, thanks to an estimated 31/36 mpg. When you want to avoid the gas pump for as long as possible, the Nissan Kicks is the right option.
