Nissan doesn't make any significant changes to the 2020 Kicks lineup.

Pros
Perky in-town power, adult-sized back-seat space, unexpectedly large cargo capacity.

Cons
Lacks highway passing power, noisy under heavy throttle, no underfloor storage in cargo area.

The 2020 Nissan Kicks comes with front wheel drive. Available transmissions include: continuously variable-speed automatic.Driver assistance features added to the base model.

Pros
Strong estimated and real-world fuel economy numbers
Larger cargo capacity than many subcompact SUVs
Inexpensive compared to rivals

Cons
Accelerates leisurely
No optional all-wheel drive
Lacks some desirable features

The Arona is perfectly ok, but Seat found it too easy to leap on the small-crossover bandwagon. They just faxed it in. Get a Leon instead.

Pros
Decent chassis,
good infotainment system and tech

Cons
Updated cabin still a little drab,
trim levels restrict your kit choices

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Looks great
Well equipped across the range
Nice and easy to drive

Cons
Tight on space for rear passengers
Lags behind on boot space
Some cheap-feeling interior bits
