Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Buick Envista than in the Nissan Kicks. The Nissan Kicks offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Buick Envista, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Buick Envista or the Nissan Kicks, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Buick Envista is about the same width as the Nissan Kicks. If you go with the Buick Envista, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Nissan Kicks.

Handling
The Buick Envista has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Nissan Kicks, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Buick Envista and the Nissan Kicks.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Buick Envista transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Nissan Kicks.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Buick Envista and the Nissan Kicks. The Buick Envista has less cargo space than the Nissan Kicks, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
