Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Nissan's smallest crossover receives a styling update for 2021 which includes a larger grille, streamlined headlamps and taillamps, redesigned front and rear bumpers, and a new 17-inch aluminum wheel design. Nissan has also expanded the availability of the contrasting black roof option to cars painted in Scarlet Ember Tintcoat, Boulder Gray Pearl, and Electric Blue Metallic. Inside, SV and SR models now come with a new 8.0-inch infotainment system, and all Kicks trims now feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.A Wi-Fi hotspot is now available as an option on the top spec SR trim.

PROS
Peppy around town,
spacious cabin,
generous standard equipment.

CONS
Anemic at highway speeds,
engine sounds thrashy at high revs,
a few more storage cubbies wouldn't hurt.

“Wilfully odd-looking small SUV is actually fun to drive. It's the Nissan Juke's worthy heir ”

PROS
Refined mild-hybrid powertrain,
and handles better than it strictly needs to

CONS
Hybrid gets expensive.
Looks weird (even weirder than before) but then you might like that

The hybrid version has low CO2 emissions on its side, but otherwise the Kona is outclassed by the many other small SUVs available to choose from at this price. The Ford Puma is more fun, the T-Roc more comfortable and the Skoda Kamiq more practical.

PROS
Low CO2 emissions (Hybrid)
Generous standard kit
Good infotainment system

CONS
Bumpy ride
Not very practical
So-so performance of the 1.0 T-GDi
