Convenience
The Jeep Wrangler requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Nissan Kicks, making it more convenient to drive.

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 Jeep Wrangler will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Kicks, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Jeep Wrangler 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 Jeep Wrangler, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Nissan Kicks.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Jeep Wrangler does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Nissan Kicks.
