People are complaining about a car that is affordable. I think it is specced fine. The CVT allows for smooth acceleration. I probably have more cash and pricey cars than just about anyone on here making fun of this. Not every person can afford $38k toyotas or mazdas

@@mightbesherwood1313 that is true. I hope it does in thr full production version. I love the use of 2.0 liter non turbos. My dream is a japanese small car with a manual gearbox and 2.0 liter non turbo. I missed that window of the corrolla hatchback by a few months.

We do have to achnowledge that current Nissan CVTs are better particularly on their 4cyl, as they are not a ticking time bomb like they were 10 years ago. But now you have to worry about their new variable compression engine, in which thankfully the Kicks does not have as it has the older reliable engine that they have been using for decades.😁

Hey Matt, Really nice, in depth review on this new Nissan Kicks, very good information, and I appreciate the honest real comparisons. I agree That 2 liter engine is enough power, and will be more reliable long term, the Nissan's CVT's are really improved and are not the nightmare they once were. I actually have to say most Japanese CVT's are pretty dam good anymore. I Never thought I would be impressed by this new Nissan Kicks, but I actually am. Nice details, nice detailed interior, and it doesn't look boring and to me doesn't look hideous, it is different, which is nice. I think people forget these are not huge vehicles and they really don't need 195 horsepower. When I stop over my parents house, I love driving my Mother's Subaru Crosstrek take it a spin, just a light, zippy car, fun to drive. This Nissan is following that formula, but offering a lot more features. Nissan giving a lot of car for the money. Fit and finish looks really good. I think Nissan will sell a lot of units, especially offering All Wheel Drive. I know many don't like these cars, but they are needed, well done Nissan. Excellent review, well done Matt. You covered it very well. Appreciate covering the sound system as well, that is neat a Bose system like that in a Kicks. I am going to send this review to my friend that needs a new run around city vehicle, with all wheel drive, this is in his price range.

This is a fairly impressive offering from Nissan. Yea the power sounds unimpressive but its also super light. Both of which should help the cvt survive long term. For the price, this should be a solid option in the segment

I don't understand why people hate CVTs so much. They work fine for 99% of driving needs. What frustrates me is these overengineered 8 and 10 speed transmissions that hesitate and feel clunky when shifting. CVTs are smooth and reliable, most of the time.

Just a correction, but the Kia Soul actually has the most cargo and interior space of the small car segment. It is outdated with the infotainment and it's more expensive, hopefully they keep it around and update it. The K4 Hatch is coming out soon and that will be interesting competition too. Kia offers a better warranty than the competition, but Kia dealers are notorious for being terrible.

I think Soul only has higher interior volume measurements due to its height, but for actual daily usability, Trax and Kicks both have more rear legroom and more cargo length.

What about the cx30. Or the corolla cross the 30 has the 2.5. But the corolla cross is still a decent vehicle. The longest i’ve heard a nissan cvt is a 140k miles on a 2013 sentra. Which nowadays is almost low miles for some reason.
