Nissan Kicks S $18,298 (plus $1,815 transport and preparation)
Here, at long last, is the first vehicle on this list to come out of the factory in its base iteration with an automatic transmission. In this case, the small crossover is equipped with a CVT, a ubiquitous piece of equipment in Nissan vehicles.
The Kicks actually uses many of the same internal organs as the Versa Note. Which makes it worth your while to try out that model as well, if only so you can decide if the extra cost is worth it.
From our review:
“There’s really little buyers have to sacrifice from their wish-list to get this reasonably priced small SUV, unless you count luxury or massive interior space… And that’s what makes the Kicks a compelling choice; this is a practical and personable city car that can also serve you well when you venture beyond city limits.”
