Car leasing: brown 2021 Nissan Kicks SR in Java

The 2021 Nissan Kicks SR: before you buy

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Nissan Kicks SR for sale by us right now. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is the 2021 Nissan Kicks SR for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the Kicks

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 78 complaints with NHTSA, most often about structure, forward collision avoidance and unknown or other; have those parts checked.

Specs, explained

The 1.6L 4-cylinder does the work, through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

At 7.1 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 21 litres of fuel. Every 100 km costs about $11.01 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

When the Kicks makes sense

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Space and size

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 708 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the Kicks for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the Kicks is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Kicks on your commute, then decide.

Choosing the right one

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

The cost of driving it

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