2025 Nissan Kicks Vs Nissan Rogue Comparison and Review Which one Should You Buy?

[Music] welcome to another episode of cars unlock today we're deciding which one should you buy the 2025 Nissan Rogue or the 2025 Nissan kicks I'm Christopher let's jump into it break it down break it break it down so for 2025 Nissan has changed the Nissan kicks much bigger vehicle more SUV style so you might be on the Nissan lot wondering hey which one should I get the Nissan kicks or the Nissan Rogue and that is why we are going to break it down now first things first me being Dutch we are going to talk price so this is the Nissan kicks SV and we have the Rogue SV beside it just so we can compare apples to apples you can go up to a premium package with this SV package get things like a sunroof it's going to have a USD MSRP of 23260 our Nissan Rogue SV is going to have a USD of 33760 now you can also get a premium package with this if you want to add a few features and we're going to explain that when we get to it but there's about a 10 grand swing here in price so let's check out The Styling and the size and see what you get for that extra $110,000 to go up to the Rog so the biggest difference between the two cars is all about size you can see we have the kicks here and we put the Rog behind it just so you can compare how much bigger it is it's going to come with exterior features like 17in steel covers so you have hub caps there little smaller ground clearance this one has an 8.3 in ground clearance now you can see from The Styling that it comes in two color combinations that's the unique thing about the kicks this is the gray with the Red Roof you can choose different color combinations with the kicks so if you like to kind of mix and match your colors you want to get funky with the colors the kicks would be something to consider checking out the side profile of the Nissan Rogue you can see this one comes with aluminum alloy rims they are 19in aluminum alloy rims obviously this is the blue and the exterior color but there's not as many funky colors or unique colors with the r more generic kind of colors if you go up to the top package of the Rogue you can get a black out roof but this is just going to be the one Bas color but you can already see the size difference like I said that is what you're paying for here a lot more space a lot more cargo capacity which we're going to show you in a minute here now another big difference between the two cars is the power plan so let's start with the power plan of the kicks this one is going to come with a 2 L direct injection gasoline 4 cylinder engine it's going to give you about 141 horsepower and 140 lb feet of torque now our Rogue is a little different story this one is a 1.5 3 cylinder direct injection with a turbo and it's going to give you about 2011 horsepower so you have a little more power with the Rogue but you also have a turbo so if the turbo is something that maybe scares you then the kicks would be the way to go checking out the front ends here you can see the grill of the Nissan it's just a little smaller than the Rogue here on the Nissan kicks but little different styling here you have this kind of slatted out front grill here while the Nissan Rogue you still have that kind of v motion grill that we've seen in a lot of the Nissan these are going to be your LED headlights and you have your LED daytime running lights and it is the same on the Rogue but a little different stacking a little different style now let's talk about the keys on both cars they're going to be almost identical Keys both options are going to have the remote starter you have the approach lock and unlock on the Nissan kicks but they will start up using the remote here there you can see both cars are running perfect for the winter time the only difference is on the Rogue you get the power lift gate on this Rogue so you can open the trunk with the touch of a button here and you can see the size difference here this is our trunk of the Nissan Rogue you have the Privacy cover which you can remove a little bigger than the kicks dead body test I'm thinking you could probably do four dead bodies in here very easily maybe four short people you can also fold the seats down and the trunk of the kicks you can see is just a little smaller there's no way you're fitting four dead bodies in in here maybe two you'd have to chop them up a little bit but this is one thing that you're going to have a big difference here with the Nissan kicks I mentioned this in our full review of this but the Nissan kicks for 2025 they got rid of the spare TIR so as you can see there's no spare tire in here they give you this little pump a lot of you were commenting on that kind of a little cheap out from Nissan but most of the manufacturers are doing it however with the Rogue you do get a spare tire so you're paying more but you're getting those little small extra things um that might save you in a pinch now before we move on guys this is your reminder to subscribe to our channel here car is unlocked if we help you with your buying decision make sure you give us a thumbs up and of of course comment do you like the Rogue better or do you like the kicks we'd love to hear your comments let's jump back to the video jumping on the inside here we are checking out the Nissan kicks you can see this one is a cloth seat you don't get the leather unless you go up to the very top package in this Nissan kicks the SR premium so it is a cloth seat it is a manual adjustable driver's seat now one thing my lovely wife beefs about is the manual seat a little bit of a pain adjusting the seat so if you don't want a manual seat the kicks isn't going to be the best option for you um you can see it does have just a traditional shifter knob here so um not too much space or storage in the center stack in the Rogue you can see they have the electric shifter knob so there's a bit more space for storage your center console is just a lot bigger you have a little bit more storage space and it's just a wider kind of more passenger volume here this one is an SV and it has a premium leather package so you do get the leather seats in this if you just did the regular SV you wouldn't get the premium package however the seats are very comfortable both cars are going to come with Nissan zero gravity seats so the seats are going to be very very similar it's really just a matter of kind of space and what size person you are are and that space is going to be the same in the back if you have a large family maybe a family of five this is the Nissan Rogue so I would choose that you can see kind of how much leg room I have a little more space I'm 59 in height so I'm comfortable back here this is also going to come with the nice added sun shades that comes with this premium leather package and you have a center armrest now there's USBS back here there's ventilation back here so overall you just have a lot more space let's see how it compares to the kicks now you can probably already see the difference not as much space back here no really cup holders there's one cup holder in the door for our coffee no ventilation coming into the back so a day like today where you can tell where a little chil might take a little longer to heat up three people back here my size it is going to be really tight so this would be better if you have maybe a family of four maybe a family of three um you have three car seats back here impossible actually I don't even think you can put three car seats back here if you have more than four passengers I would say the road would be the better choice so let's talk about the drive of each car right now I'm behind the wheel of the Nissan kicks and you can see kind of how close I am to you here like I said just the biggest thing is the space it's a 0 to 60 in 9.2 seconds so it's a little slow on the takeoff you have a few different Drive modes in this you have a sport mode an economy mode and just a regular mode however this one has an eco mode it has a sport mode it also has a snow and an Offroad mode so both cars you can choose to get all-wheel drive the Rogue is just your your only option is all-wheel drive while the kicks you can choose front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive depending on what climate you're in speaking of economy this one is going to come with 7.6 L per every 100 kilometers compared to the Rogue 7.7 so I feel like at the pumps you're going to be spending the same amount of money let's talk about the infotainment this one comes with two displays so it has the screen here and it has the screen here this is a 12.3 in display you can do your wireless Android auto your Wireless Apple carplay and then behind you is the 7 in Nissan Advanced Drive Assist display so if you like that big screen type thing um this one definitely has a bit more futuristic and modern look in the screen and just kind of How It's it's all set up it does give you a like a sporty feel Wireless qi charger comes with this one so you can charge your phone on the Fly you don't need to plug it in or anything and this one's going to come with the digital temperature control it doesn't come with the Dual Zone temperature control it's just one temperature control this Nissan Rogue will also do the Wireless Apple carplay and Android auto it doesn't have the wireless charging pad here so the kicks comes with a wireless charging pad um this SV Rogue you don't get a charging pad so um weird that that there's a feature in the kicks that the Rogue doesn't have you would expect the Rogue to have every feature and then some one thing that this has that the kicks doesn't is paddle shifters so it has paddle shifters right behind the wheel here if you like paddle shifters then you go with the Nissan Rogue and also has a heated steering wheel auto start stop so when you're idling at a light it will shut down while you're idling to save on fuel now the biggest thing why I like this car is turning on this propilot assist so pretty much it will lock you centered in the lane and keep you a safe distance from the car in front of you so that you can kind of Drive u a little more relaxed it's a semi-autonomous driving that's one thing that I really like about the Rogue and it just would make my choice right there for me take anything that has the propilot assists like that's the main feature that I want I really like that if you guys have been following this channel you'll know that I really enjoy that feature this one comes with the intelligent cruise control so it will keep you a safe distance from the car in front of you but it doesn't have the propilot assist let's compare the cameras right now this is the camera of the Nissan kicks you can see it does have the guidance lines here as I park however they're not using the whole screen here you have this wide screen but not a wide camera I mentioned this when I first reviewed this car the backup camera could be a little clearer maybe a higher resolution it does the job but you'll see now let's check out the camera of the Rogue now you can see the camera on the Rogue is just a little more clear a little more higher resolution now this one comes with the around view monitor that's what you get with this premium leather package is you get the around view monitor the traditional SV is just going to show you this um but you can see the difference between the two cameras just a little clearer camera I certainly like the camera on the Rogue better to conclude in the terms of which one should you buy the Nissan Rogue or the Nissan kicks this is a matter of needs versus one wants if you need more space I would be choosing the Nissan Rogue if you don't need the space and you want to save some money I would be choosing the Nissan kicks my personal preference I do like the Rogue I feel like it's a more comfortable more smooth drive bit more acceleration so I would pay the extra money for the size the space and the drive but let's hear it from you guys comment which one would you buy Nissan Rogue or Nissan kicks as always give us a thumbs up feel free to check out my Instagram and we will see you in the next one Sirus [Music] XM it sounds how it should nothing good nothing great nothing bad it sounds perfect um I have to cut it down
