What's New

For 2025, the Nissan Kicks, which starts at a very affordable $23,220, undergoes a comprehensive redesign, enhancing its appeal and functionality. The new model is larger, offering increased interior space and improved comfort. It boasts a fresh exterior look and a more powerful 2-liter four-cylinder engine, replacing the previous 1.6-liter engine. All-wheel drive is an option for the first time on all three trims.

The updated suspension provides 8.4 inches of ground clearance, up from the previous 7 inches, making it more capable for light off-road adventures. Inside, Nissan's Zero Gravity seats are now standard in both the front and rear rows, and the top SR trim introduces Pro Pilot lane-keeping assist, a first for the Kicks lineup.

The mid-tier Kicks SV is a nice choice because it has a larger 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also has a wireless smartphone charging pad and hands-free lock and unlock via a proximity key.

Power and Performance

The 2025 Nissan Kicks steps up with a significant engine upgrade, replacing the old 1.6-liter four-cylinder with a more robust 2-liter unit. This new engine delivers 141 horsepower and 140 pound feet of torque—an increase of 20 horsepower and 26 pound feet over the previous model.

Power is managed by a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), which drives the front wheels or all four wheels with the optional all-wheel drive (AWD) for the first time in a Kicks. AWD models benefit from an additional "Snow" drive mode, complementing the standard Normal, Eco and Sport modes.

Interior Design

The interior of the 2025 Nissan Kicks embraces modernity with a sleek, driver-focused design featuring horizontal flat display screens angled for optimal visibility. A flat-bottom steering wheel adorned with matching stitching complements the dashboard's refined look. Rear passengers benefit from the comfort of Nissan's celebrated Zero Gravity seats, now standard in front and rear. The SR trim introduces a haptic touch panel for climate control, replacing the traditional dual-dial setup found in earlier models, though dials remain standard on lower trims.

Cargo space has been expanded, though all-wheel drive slightly reduces trunk capacity. Front-wheel drive models offer 29 cubic feet of space behind the second row, while all-wheel drive trims provide 24 cubic feet. With the rear seats folded, cargo capacity increases to 59 cubic feet in front-wheel drive models and 50 cubic feet with all-wheel drive.

Technology Features

The 2025 Nissan Kicks offers a range of technology features designed to enhance connectivity and convenience. The base S trim comes with a standard 7-inch touchscreen, while the SV and SR trims upgrade to a 12.3-inch unit, featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for easy smartphone integration. The S trim includes a single Type-A USB port, whereas the SV and SR trims provide a pair of USB-C ports, with the SR adding additional USB-C ports for rear passengers. Standard audio on the S is a four-speaker system with Bluetooth and an auxiliary input, while the SV adds SiriusXM satellite radio.

The SR trim further enhances the audio experience with a six-speaker system, and for audiophiles, the available 10-speaker Bose system, complete with headrest-mounted speakers, provides an immersive sound experience.

Safety Features

All 2025 Nissan Kicks trims include automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning and rear cross-traffic alert. Adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature is available for those seeking additional convenience.
