Car financing: the 2021 Nissan Kicks SV

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Nissan Kicks SV for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2021 Nissan Kicks SV is a big decision; here is the information we have.

Before you sign for the Kicks

Owners filed 78 complaints with NHTSA, most often about structure, forward collision avoidance and unknown or other; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Under the hood

The powertrain to know here is the 1.6L 4-cylinder, with 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.

Expect about 21 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.1 L/100 km combined rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $110.10 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

Living with the Kicks

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is 708 litres, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Who the Kicks suits

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the Kicks for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the Kicks tells you more than any review. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $110.10 at our price setting.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
