I like how you cited the solution to your concerns about this model 😍

[GeraldGarcia]

I like your way of reviewing. You show both positives and negatives about the car for a balanced review. Also, I get bits and pieces of additional info and insight that I don't get from other video reviews. This is compared to the other, bigger automotive channel which I am also a fan of, but I think he is very safe and careful with his reviews. 

Anyway, keep it up and more power to this channel! I've just subbed.

I have a Kicks (in Thailand), and I changed the tires after getting a flat. The ride is much smoother now!

[AmirChemE]

This car deserves a decent set of tyres. Im thinking the Continental Premium Contact.

[Makeeman]

Just a correction :) All variants have zero gravity seats, that's why they are comfortable :) otherwise, good review! :)

Stellaer fuel economy? What is the figure in city and hiway???

[MrKockabilly]

Would have been nice if Nissan provided a way for charging the battery from household electricity. I'm not talking about the powerful hi-amp fast chargers like those in pure EVs but just to provide a simple charger that could help raise at least a bar, esp if the car would not be used for several hours while parked at home. Grid electricity is still cheaper than gasoline.

No sir, @2::50, the gas engine doesnt charge the electric motor, it charges the battery, which in turn powers the 😮😮electric motor that drive the wheels.

[dennisching]

best car really voted no.1 it will make you wanna throw your old cars. next gen really looks so fun. and man oh boy e pedal very funtastic amazing new gen kind of driving

[abetguerzon]

sir if in case the motor gen wouldnt function.. then what will be an option to make the car runs? unlike with the corolla cross.. it can switch from gas to battery. meaning if the battery gets drained then the gas automatically shifts in.

[alansaavedra]

Is the aircon depends on the gas engine? If you are stuck in heavy traffic does the air conditioner runs cool even if the gas engine is not running? Will the air conditioner cools even in electric mode?

[josephorticio]

ano po ang fuel type niya? ano po ang pinapa GAS sa Nissan Kicks

[christiankeithmandal]

New Subscriber here nyo po. Ang ganda kasi ng mga reviews nyo po sir na very informative talaga at ang ganda ng accent nyo po.

[D-AlquisalasMelFrancisC]

I will love hybrids more if a manual option is available.

[kenv]

thanks for that great review.
Do you recommend this as a first car? My reason to have a car is I'm soon to be married, and the main purpose would be during holidays, event, and weekend, instead of having to commute. So not so much of an everyday drive. and we live within the metro. Having zero experience in cars, the negatives you mention might not bother me, I guess.

[rengan]

pretty much a generator powering up an electric motor. I thought it would be very inefficient but its actually very good!

[NordinPumbaya]

What is the capacity of the battery? You don't charge the electric motor, only the battery. If the gas motor runs on every drive then the battery must be very small... Why drag our feet in adopting full EV?

[carloantoniotubil]

Bakit ang liit ng kicks? :( yun lang ang let down. :(
