2020 Nissan Kicks SV for sale in Bald Knobs

Thinking of buying the 2020 Nissan Kicks SV?

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2020 Nissan Kicks SV for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Here is the 2020 Nissan Kicks SV for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the Kicks

NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 97 complaints with NHTSA, most often about forward collision avoidance, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Under the hood

The 1.6L 4-cylinder does the work, through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

The EPA rates it at 7.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 21 litres. That works out to about $11.01 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What to expect from the Kicks

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. In plain terms, its 708 litres of luggage space hold bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Who rents the Kicks

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Drive it on your own roads

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. A week with the Kicks answers more than any brochure.

Running costs

The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Narrowing it down

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Compare the SV with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
