Mitsubishi ASX vs Nissan Kicks (2020-2023) Comparison

I drive the Mitsubishi ASX around Al Ain, and it’s been reliable without giving me any major headaches. The design is not the most modern, but it still looks sporty. The 2.0L engine feels decent for city and moderate highway runs. What I like most is the higher driving position, which gives confidence on the road. Inside, it’s quite straightforward , nothing too flashy, but comfortable. It’s also easy to maneuver and park, which is a big plus. Honestly, it’s not about luxury here; it’s about having a small SUV that’s practical, dependable, and doesn’t eat up your budget.

I hve Nissan Kicks for a while, and it’s one of the most underrated crossovers here. It looks compact from the outside but inside, the space surprised me. Rear legroom is very good, and boot space easily takes weekly groceries or small luggage. The ride quality is smooth, and the suspension handles speed bumps nicely. The 1.6L engine is simple but reliable, and fuel efficiency is a strong point, I barely feel it in my fuel budget. Tech like Apple CarPlay works well, and the 360-degree camera makes parking stress-free. It’s not flashy like bigger SUVs, but it gives confidence and comfort for daily UAE traffic. For those who want something light, simple and affordable, it’s perfect.
