Recent Owner Reviews
20 reviews"Nissan Kicks: The Intelligent SUV: I have the XV Premium (O) 1.5 L diesel version of the Nissan Kicks. It's an excellent car. Every aspect of the car, from fit and finish to driving and mileage, aerodynamics, sitting comfort, steering, braking, suspension, etc is excellent. I have driven several SUVs, but Kicks is the best. Nissan is a global leader in SUV cars, and Kicks is one of its best products. I am getting a mileage of 21 km on highways, and 16 km in cities."
"Value For Money: I like this vehicle very much to drive with economical cost to have a good experience. Why not so highlighted unable to understand. Excellent vehicle beyond the thinking of typical Indian mentality. Value for money car."
"Cheap Car At Premuim: I have owned this car for 2.5 years, and my experience has been a very bad one. 1. Dealer network is almost non-existent in many states. I had a hard time trying to service my car while I was traveling. 2. In 2.5 years the AC compressor has failed and had to be replaced. 3. No spare parts whatsoever available in India in the aftermarket. (Try looking for the compressor for a Seltos or a Creta and it'll be obvious). It would be a risk buying this car especially, now that it is clear, that this car could not get anywhere, close to the sales figures of other vehicles in this segment."
"Nissan Kicks Bold And Dynamic SUV: The Nissan Kicks is a trendy and dynamic SUV that radiates an energetic and substantial ride. With its gleaming format and forefront styling factors, it stands out among its rivals.

The geniuses of the Kicks incorporate their chic appearance, dynamic general execution, and predominant insurance highlights."

"Relaxing And Delightful Driving Experience: Nissan Kicks is one of the most affordable SUVs in the Indian market. Its length is 4. 3 meters and has 4 cylinder engines which provide a range between 10-14kmpl. Its suspension system is the best in the segment and provides comfortable rides to passengers. It has a 3. 5 star global NCAP rating in safety. It has disc breaks and drum breaks in the rear tires. It has decent looking exterior and a finely crafted and designed interior. Its resale value is not so good and after-sale services are up to mark. Besides this drawback, this is a good option to buy an SUV under 10lac."
"Wonderful Car: Good mileage, spacious, maintenance cost is also low, the color (black) is also my favorite. It looks stylish."

"Best Car: Very practical compact SUV compared to another so-called compact SUV. I own a 2019 diesel XV Pre optional. It has all practical features which are daily required and no other gimmick features that others offer nowadays. Basically, I was searching for a driver's car, I am myself a driving enthusiast. Its high points are 1. Driving dynamics: it's so planted in highways, it glides through the potholes. In Hindi chipak kar chalta hai. 2. Comfort: leave the highway drive, it's comfortable in offroading too. 3. High ground clearance of 210 mm: trust me it is very good to have that ground clearance in hill areas. I am from Arunachal Pradesh high ground clearance is very useful here. 4. Controlled body roll: very little body roll on turns. 5. Steering feedback: I like its hydraulic steering, you don't have to rotate much while on turns. 6. Breaking: breaking is smooth and the bite is good. Never had a breaking issue at 120 mph. 7. Seat comfort: some say its seat is hard it may hurt on a long drive. But trust me science says a bit stiff seat is good for a long drive and I felt super comfortable at a 400km drive in a stretch. 8. Headlight throw: I never felt I need to upgrade. Its headlight through at night is better than other rivals. 8. Boot space: when it was launched it had one of the largest boot spaces in its segment. It's sufficient for me 9. Safety: My XV Pre optional has 4 airbags, graphene body, EBD with ESP or VDC, hill start assist, large ORVm, good grip Apollo tyres, automatic wiper and headlamp and many more. Negatives are minor and are not deal-breakers that I can live with. It fulfilled all my requirements. The only issue for its lesser sell may be due to lack of information not penetrated to masses. It's so underrated car. Test drive all vehicles in its segment and come to my review to be verified. Others think that parts availability would be an issue. For new vehicles, I had no issues faced. For the first five years, only small running repairs and servicing are required like a brake pad, engine oil, oil filter, air filter which are all available at the dealer. Secondly, I have a 5years warranty purchased that keeps me peace of mind. Any other major parts required due to accident will take little time but it's the same with other brands too. I had Maruti Celerio, it's the same with that. Trust me Maruti Celerio serving cost was a little more than Kicks taking into account that Kicks is bigger than Celerio's. And my mother has Scorpio S11. So in my opinion a true car enthusiast will acknowledge Kicks value and remember there are other things also besides "bhed chall"."
"Great Car In All Aspects: I bought this after months of a survey on this segment of car. This car is actually a true competitor of creta and seltos and is approx 100kg heavier in weight and wider in length and width. i have the petrol variant and its mileage is 11-11.5 kmpl in city with bumper-bumper delhi-Gurgaon traffic and on highways it touches till 14.5kmpl. I have the XV petrol version which is it most sell out variant, which will be onroad at around 11-11.5 lakhs and it will be having all the required features including 8.5 touch screen, apple play and android play, bluetooth connectivity, 17-inch alloy wheels, electrical adjusted ovrms and much more.. the cost is much lesser than the base of creta and seltos where you will be missing all these features. Creta and seltos petrol versions also have similar or lesser mileage. Its suspension is also fabulous. I generally drive with all 5 seating and you know the indian roads.. i never feel and high jerks even on back seat. Also it has a Also the Global NCAP rating is 4 star while the Asian NCAP rating is 5star for this car. huge boot space of 400 litre."
"Feature Packed Nissan Kicks: The Nissan Kicks is a dynamic crossover that offers an instigative driving experience with a host of emotional features. It offers good availability, making it suitable for both megacity commutes and trace roadways. The lift experience is smooth and stable, thanks to its able machine and well-tuned suspense.

The Kicks comes seasoned with improved features like a touchscreen infotainment system, smartphone connectivity, and a 360-degree camera for enhanced security."

"Turbo Great Machine: I own a 1.3 lit. turbo xv pre opt. and performance-wise it's next to nothing. You get great power, great torque, and great highway stability. feature-wise u get more than enough to keep u happy. I'm not a big fan of the sunroof and its absence doesn't bother me. It's been almost 9 months since I've purchased it and I've been enjoying driving it, as I live in a hilly region I can feel the extra torque and power while going uphill and it brings a smile to my face. if u really love driving and comfort then the kicks turbo won't disappoint you."
"Underrated But Bang For The Buck: After a lot of research in the mid-size SUV segment. Took Kicks 1.3 Turbo XV in June. Pros: Punchy engine, larger dimensions in every way. Unique looks, highway stability as it is a heavy vehicle 17-inch alloy. Cons: Not great knick-knack list steering heavy. Rivals offering an electronic economy are not on par. Overall, I went for this for exclusive road presence, enjoy pickup of the Mercedes engine, and cheaper by at least 2L in comparison with Creta, Seltos, and Astor. Go for it if you like to enjoy rides."
"Superb Car: Superb car, strong body line, ground clearance is enough, quick pick up and sporty engine. Just the cost is higher. Otherwise, the car is good."
"Great Value For Money: Before 10 months of buying Kicks 1.3CVT Turbo. Smooth, comfortable ride on highways and city. Plush interiors. Good mileage of 16 on the highway and 12kmpl in the city. Zero maintenance car. Value for money car"
"Comfortable And Reliable In Hills: Quite realistic and reliable on Uttarakhand can easily cover 400-500km without stopping in hills I traveled from Haldwani to Badrinath about 390-400km. In 7 hours with ease currently at 37000km approx. With 3year's experience. No majour issue till now. Easly does 140kmph on the highway. Comfortable for long rides good boot space and ground clearance. Helps on rough hill roads, especially in monsoon. Great experience in both ride and service."
