The 2022 Nissan Kicks S for buyers

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2022 Nissan Kicks S for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Thinking about the 2022 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. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 23 owner complaints on file, mostly about forward collision avoidance, steering and engine.

Under the hood

The 1.6L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Fuel use is rated 7.1 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 21 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $33.03 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

What the Kicks is like

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. With 708 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

When the Kicks makes sense

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

Try the Kicks on your commute, then decide. A week with the Kicks answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

What it costs to run

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. The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Year and trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

The Kicks and Yameri

Yameri is about 3,364 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Yameri.
