Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Nissan ARIYA than in the Nissan Kicks. The Nissan Kicks will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Nissan ARIYA.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Nissan ARIYA will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Kicks, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan ARIYA is much wider than the Nissan Kicks, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Nissan ARIYA, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Nissan Kicks.

Handling
The Nissan ARIYA has the same turning radius as the Nissan Kicks, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan ARIYA greatly out-muscles the Nissan Kicks.

Powertrain
The Nissan ARIYA has much lower torque than the Nissan Kicks, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Nissan ARIYA and the Nissan Kicks. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Nissan ARIYA as you will in the Nissan Kicks.
