Nissan Kicks vs Kia Seltos – Your Direct Comparison in Terms of Performance and Power

The Nissan Kicks is Nissan’s most affordable SUV and the smallest in terms of stature, but there is still plenty to admire about it. Despite the diminutive appearance, the Nissan Kicks is deceptively roomy, with 25.3 cubic feet of capacity when fully loaded with passengers. You can more than double that capacity simply by folding the rear seats down.

This popular SUV gets its power from a 1.6 liter inline-4 engine paired to a continuously variable transmission making it capable of 122 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque. The Nissan Kicks is FWD only as there is no AWD option but it gives exceptional fuel economy ratings of 31 MPG city and 36 MPG highway.

Some trims of the Kia Seltos do come with AWD as an option, but unless you are driving your Seltos over rugged terrain on a regular basis, that’s not important. The Seltos is slightly more powerful than the Kicks, which also makes it speedier but that comes at a cost of worse fuel economy figures.

The Nissan Kicks vs Kia Seltos Comparisons – What are the Differences in Tech?All but the base trim of the Nissan Kicks come with an impressive array of tech driver assistant aids. These features include forward collision warnings, automatic emergency breaking, pedestrian detection and many others.The basic tech array available with the Kia Seltos is much less impressive, with just automatic breaking and lane keeping assistance available on the basic trim levels. A budget buy, many purchasers of a Kia Seltos have expressed disappointment with their Kia Seltos, including poor quality servicing, delayed delivery times and the poor standard of the materials used, both interior and exterior. In addition, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are only available as upgrades, and not as standard.Overall, the Nissan Kicks we think comes out on top, but we understand that you may not want to take our word for it.
