‘I’ll prove it’: Nissan dealership shows even this Toyota, the No. 1-selling car in America, sounds like a ‘tiny lawnmower.’ Here’s why that’s an issue

A Nissan dealership employee defended the engine noise of the soon-to-be-released 2025 Kicks. After showing the car off in a TikTok video, commenters criticized the sound its engine made.

However, the Puyallup Nissan (@puyallupnissan) worker argued that all modern car engines sound like this. To prove it, he cracked open a Toyota 2024 RAV4 hood with the engine running.

While he thought the video, which accrued 26,000 views, was enough to evince his point, other TikTokers weren't so sure.
