Looks like the root cause of the Kicks' AC issue has been identified with a fix now available.


Kicks AC Issue Statement Update


__________



By sheer coincidence, I saw both of these cars parked side by side at the Podium's basement parking. The size difference looks big from afar but it doesn't seem to be THAT big once you come closer.


In any case, here are my comparison notes so far:

Size and space: Territory wins
Acceleration: Kicks wins by a mile
Mileage: Kicks hands down
Top speed: Territory definitely
Tech and Features: Territory, not even close
Which one feels more premium: Territory
Safety: Territory
Cost of ownership: Over the first 5 years Kicks wins, anything over 7 years is a crapshoot as battery replacement will not be cheap
Brand appeal: Nissan Kicks
Build quality: Territory feels more solidly constructed, especially on the inside.
