- Price range
- P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
- Down payment
- MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
- Availability
- High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

- Brand reliability
- Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
- Resale strength
- 100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
- Peer set
- Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
- Quadrants
- The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict
Nissan's compact crossover — HR15DE 1.5L petrol or HR12DE 1.2L 3-cyl + e-Power (Singapore variant available with e-Power). e-Power architecture (small petrol generator + electric drive, no traditional gearbox) sidesteps the JATCO Xtronic CVT family concerns that haunt NV200 / Attrage / Note. Generally reliable Nissan compact platform; same HR12 / HR15 engine maintenance items (VVT solenoid, ignition coils, carbon buildup) apply. The e-Power small HV battery becomes the new long-term check; pull battery health read at viewing on aged units.

What's good
- e-Power variant with documented HV battery health check — sidesteps the JATCO Xtronic CVT failure pattern entirely (no traditional CVT in e-Power). Battery health is the new check; reconditioned packs not yet common in SG for this platform.
- Petrol HR15DE with documented Xtronic CVT fluid service at 60k km — boring durable Nissan formula. Receipts > seller claims on any Nissan CVT past 60k km.
What to watch
- Persistent idle vibration on a HR12DE petrol Kicks — 3-cyl engine mount wear pattern (same as Note E12). Per-mount repair S$250-500 locally.
- Xtronic CVT shudder / whine past 100k km without fluid service — JATCO Xtronic family failure cluster. S$4-6k replacement locally; price in if symptom reproduces.

1 trimCommon questions about the Nissan Kicks
- How much does a used Nissan Kicks cost in Singapore?
- Most used Nissan Kicks on the market are around 5 years old, asking roughly S$95k–S$109k (typically about S$98k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
- How much does a used Nissan Kicks depreciate per year?
- A used Nissan Kicks loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 16% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.
- Is the Nissan Kicks reliable?
- In our read, the Nissan Kicks scores 70 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
- What should I expect to pay for a used Nissan Kicks with a given mileage?
- It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
- Where do these Nissan Kicks figures come from?
- They're worked out from current used-Nissan Kicks listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
