Thoughts on Nissan Kicks

[sheikhsaad0298]

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to help someone upgrade their car. He’s currently driving a Toyota Raize and is now looking to switch to a hybrid. One of the options we’re seriously considering is the Nissan Kicks (e-Power).

If you’ve owned or driven the Kicks, especially the hybrid variant, I’d really appreciate your thoughts on:

• Overall driving experience
• Fuel efficiency and performance
• Comfort and features compared to Toyota Raize
• Any issues or downsides you've experienced
• Resale value and market perception

Your insights will really help us make a more informed decision. Looking forward to your feedback.. thanks in advance!

Driven note e power, kicks has the same engine, damn thing is fun to drive, mad mad acceleration and 0 lag. After than my civic x felt quite boring

I'm basing my answer based on a Note e power (same drivetrain), the efficiency drops quite a bit during our hottest months and the AC may not feel up to par when it does get really hot. Performance is great though, its a little rocket with instantaneous torque. Resale value I am not expecting it to hold up as well as some other market options, just because this hybrid segment is very sensitive to fuel efficiency and this setup does not do well in extreme temperatures (compared to Toyotas hybrid system). Nonetheless I would recommend a Kicks if the person is comfortable with an out of market car
