The 2020 Nissan Kicks S for buyers

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2020 Nissan Kicks S; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2020 Nissan Kicks S? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

A buyer's checks

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 97 owner complaints on file, mostly about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and power train. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

The figures, translated

Power: the 1.6L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

The EPA rates it at 7.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 21 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $11.01. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 708 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Who rents the Kicks

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Try before you buy

Rent the Kicks first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If the Kicks is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

Running costs

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Year and trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
