CarGurus Analysis: 2020 Nissan Kicks

Summary
With 77 currently listed for sale near Raleigh, NC and an average price of $11,556, 28.6% of 2020 Nissan Kicks for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2020 Nissan Kicks 4.62 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2020 Kicks models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2020 Nissan Kicks stands out as a straightforward, value-focused subcompact SUV. It was designed to appeal to drivers looking for safe, reliable, and no-frills transportation, and it backed that up with a low starting price when it was introduced. It also delivered strong fuel economy, which helped make it an appealing choice for buyers who wanted an affordable small SUV without giving up efficiency.
For 2020, the Kicks’ appeal came from its practical equipment and easygoing ownership proposition. The base S model included Bluetooth connectivity and a seven-inch infotainment screen, while the mid-level SV added aluminum wheels, push-button start and a digital information screen in the gauge cluster. The range-topping SR brought LED headlights, additional exterior trim and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, along with a 360-degree intelligent around view monitor camera. A Premium Package for the SR added heated front seats and an upgraded Bose Personal Plus Audio System.
Its strengths were balanced by some clear limitations. The 2020 Kicks used a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with 125 horsepower and 115 lb-ft of torque, so it was not fast, and owners commonly praised its value, safety features and fuel efficiency while also noting that it could feel underpowered in some situations. It was also front-wheel drive only, with no all-wheel-drive option.

I think this car is great for the price! It gets awesome gas mileage and for the price they run you get a lot of great features. We actually have 2 of the SR models and are extremely happy with both of them! Highly recommended!

I think this is a good car for the value. I have the basic model, so there’s no GPS or Apple Car Play, but it does have basic safety features like blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning and backup camera. The car handles well, has large cargo space and a smooth ride.

Owners rate it 4.62/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also emphasizes that the Kicks is dependable in the ways that matter most to budget-minded shoppers: it feels like a practical, trouble-free choice with a long-term ownership appeal built around value, safety, and efficiency. At the same time, you should expect a used example to be more about steady transportation than excitement, so condition and maintenance history matter if you want to minimize ownership risk.
What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Nissan Kicks?
At 73.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report on any listing you’re seriously considering and confirm whether there are accident records, title issues, or repeated claims. A pre-purchase inspection should be a priority, especially if the car has higher mileage or incomplete service records. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior repair quality, and whether the vehicle has been maintained consistently.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Nissan Kicks?
This is a moderate market, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed, but the best listings still deserve quick attention.
- Deal availability: 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,117 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.61% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 73.1% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $13,027, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2020 Nissan Kicks's resale value?
The current average of $13,367 sits slightly below last year's $14,469.
That decline suggests the market has become a bit softer, which can work against short-term resale gains if you buy at the wrong price. If you plan to sell later, your best protection is to buy near the lower end of the range and keep the vehicle in clean, well-documented condition. A used Kicks with strong value perception can still attract steady interest from budget-focused shoppers.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.62/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2020 Nissan Kicks or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2020 if:
- 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 73.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 7.61% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.62/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2019 if:
- At $12,028, the 2019 costs less than the current year's $13,367 average.
- It emphasizes efficiency and affordability with standard advanced safety features.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $14,537, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $13,367 average.
- It adds more features while keeping the same budget-friendly appeal.
The bottom line: The 2020 is the best all-around pick if you want a balance of price, owner satisfaction, and available inventory. If your priority is spending less, the 2019 is the better value play. If you want more features and can stretch your budget, the 2021 is the stronger upgrade path.
