Summary
With 465 currently listed for sale and an average price of $11,951, 29.7% of 2018 Nissan Kicks for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Nissan Kicks 4.67 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.17 / 10.

Why it stands out
The 2018 Nissan Kicks is a crossover aimed at shoppers who do not need off-road capability or sporty handling, and that focus makes it a practical choice for everyday use. It is described as more useful than the Juke because Nissan includes features that accommodate the daily commuter. At the same time, it is less athletic and does not offer an all-wheel drive option, so its appeal is rooted in utility rather than performance.
That straightforward mission is part of what makes the 2018 Nissan Kicks distinctive. It leans into the subcompact crossover formula instead of trying to stand out with boldness, and that makes it a sensible option for buyers who want a useful vehicle without unnecessary complexity. Owners also commonly praise its value, spaciousness, comfort, backup camera, keyless entry, and gas mileage, though some note that certain expected interior touches are missing.

I was looking for a vehicle with good gas mileage. The kicks gets great mileage. But I was super surprised the little car is very comfortable for me Im a heavy set guy with bad knees and I was shocked just how comfortable it really is plus all of the safety features are a major bonus I could not be happier with the car and it is quite peppy for a four cylinder vehicle

Great vehicle with a few recommendations. Trunk latch inside, armrest on passenger seat would complete this vehicle. Would expect the SV model to have these features over the S model.

What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Nissan Kicks?
At 69.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a careful inspection of body panels, paint consistency, and any signs of prior repair. Because this model is positioned as a practical commuter, condition matters more than chasing extra equipment. Focus on how well the car has been maintained, how the cabin wears, and whether the features you want are present on the trim you’re considering.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The base S comes with 16-inch steel wheels with covers, roof rails, a rear window wiper, automatic headlights, cloth seats, a 6-way manual driver’s seat, a 4-way manual front passenger seat, a 60/40 split-fold rear seat, Bluetooth connectivity, and a standard 7-inch touchscreen. The SV adds 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, push-button start, and a partially digital instrument panel, while the SR adds fog lights, LED low beams, a rear spoiler, a dark satin chrome grille accent, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a surround-view camera. The SR Premium Package adds a Bose sound system with 8 speakers and an amplifier, heated front seats, a security system, and Prima-Tex leatherette-appointed seats.
- Powertrain: It uses a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with 125 horsepower and 115 pound-feet of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive only. It is tuned for city use and efficiency rather than strong highway passing power.
- Safety package: Automatic emergency braking is standard on every trim. SV adds blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, and SR adds a surround-view camera. The base trim misses those extra driver-assistance features.
- Infotainment: The standard system has a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, Siri Eyes Free, and a straightforward button layout. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are added on SV and SR.
- Fuel efficiency: EPA estimates are 31 mpg city, 36 highway, and 33 combined.
Which 2018 Nissan Kicks trim should I buy?
The 2018 Nissan Kicks is offered in 3 trim levels: S, SV, and SR.
Here's the short version:
- S: This is the value play if you want the lowest entry price and the core commuter-friendly equipment. You still get the 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, automatic headlights, roof rails, a rear window wiper, and standard automatic emergency braking, so it covers the basics well.
- SV: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds 17-inch alloy wheels, push-button start, a partially digital instrument panel, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. If you want the most useful mix of convenience and safety, this is the one to target.
- SR: Choose this if you want the most content from the factory, including fog lights, LED low beams, a rear spoiler, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a surround-view camera. It makes sense if you want the most upscale feel, but it is not the best value for everyone.
Automatic emergency braking is standard across the lineup, while SV and SR add the extra driver-assistance features.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Nissan Kicks?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed.
- Deal availability: 29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 468 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 1.72% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 69.7% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $11,663, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2018 Nissan Kicks's resale value?
The current average of $11,943 sits slightly below last year's $12,152.
That softer pricing suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy at a better entry point today. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim content rather than broad market momentum. Well-kept examples with desirable equipment should be easier to move than neglected ones.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2018 Nissan Kicks safe?
The 2018 Nissan Kicks earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.
It comes standard with front and side airbags, a reversing camera, and the Easy-Fill Tire Alert system. Automatic emergency braking is standard on every trim, while SV adds blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, and SR adds a surround-view camera. That means the base trim already includes an important active-safety feature, but the higher trims give you more confidence in parking and lane-change situations.
Should I buy a 2018 Nissan Kicks or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2018 if:
- 29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 69.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 1.72% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
- The 2018 Kicks is a practical commuter-focused crossover with standard automatic emergency braking and a value-first setup.
Consider the 2019 if:
- At $12,019, the 2019 costs more than the current year's $11,943 average.
- It adds standard advanced safety features.
The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2018 is the stronger price-conscious pick. If you are willing to pay a bit more for a newer model year with added standard safety content, the 2019 is the cleaner upgrade path.
