Last year we took a look at how the Nissan Kicks faired against its competition from Hyundai. This year we look at how it stacks up against the latest from Toyota.

In this video we compare some of the cheapest crossovers from Nissan and Toyota in the 2022 Nissan Kicks SR and the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross XLE-AWD.

We genuinely love the value each of these vehicles bring to the table. With the Toyota reliability baked into the Corolla Cross and the quirkiness of the Nissan Kicks, both of these would be great vehicles for a first-time driver or someone looking for a bargain.

While we know these two do not compete directly, Toyota offers the smaller C-HR for that, the Corolla Cross is positioned to become one of their best sellers. AND with a 2023 Corolla Cross Hybrid coming, the platform looks even more appealing.

• 1.6L 4-cylinder engine
• 122 horsepower
• 114 lb-ft of torque
• Continuously variable transmission
• 8-inch color touchscreen infotainment
