2025 Kicks
2025 Nissan Kicks
With its bold new design, upgraded technology, and first-ever all-wheel drive system, the 2025 Nissan Kicks has grown into one of the most versatile and valuable offerings in the compact crossover segment. It maintains the efficiency and price accessibility that defined the original model but introduces a host of new capabilities and comforts that now allow it to compete with much more expensive rivals.
What's new on the 2025 Nissan Kicks
Whether you're navigating tight downtown streets, planning a weekend getaway, or just trying to find a vehicle that can do more without costing more, the 2025 Kicks delivers. It's the right size, the right price, and now—with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive—the right vehicle for every season.
The 2025 Nissan Kicks is offered in a range of trims, each catering to a different set of needs. Whether you're focused on affordability or interested in tech and comfort features, there's a version of the Kicks that's right for you. Every model includes Nissan Safety Shield® 360 as standard. This suite of advanced driver assistance features includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, blind spot warning, and high beam assist. As you move up the range, you'll find additional systems like ProPILOT® Assist—a semi-autonomous highway driving system—and Intelligent Lane Intervention that subtly keeps you centered.
Exterior
A major highlight of the 2025 model is its redesigned exterior. With a stronger stance, sharper bodywork, and a bolder front fascia, the Kicks now looks more confident and more capable. LED lighting is standard across the range, with available LED fog lights and upgraded signature tail lights that wrap into the tailgate for a more polished rear profile.
While the new design is striking, the real story is the range of personalization options. Buyers can select from multiple two-tone exterior combinations—pairing bright, youthful colours like Electric Blue or Scarlet Ember with contrasting black or grey roofs. Each trim has a slightly different expression, from the more understated base model to the sporty SR, which includes 18-inch wheels, black accents, and a more aggressive grille. For drivers who want to stand out without breaking the bank, the Kicks offers more visual variety than almost anything else in its class.
Interior
Nissan has completely transformed the interior of the Kicks. The new cabin is open, airy, and well-designed, using premium materials in key areas and reorganizing controls for better usability. The seats, for example, are now Zero Gravity designs in both rows, offering remarkable support for long drives. Standard heated front seats and available dual-zone automatic climate control contribute to a more comfortable ride, regardless of season or setting.
In terms of space, the Kicks remains one of the most impressive options in the segment. There's room for five passengers, generous second-row legroom, and excellent outward visibility. When it comes to cargo, the Kicks offers up to 1,699 litres of available space with the rear seats folded—made even more useful by a wide, low cargo opening and a nearly flat load floor. Whether it's a quick grocery run or a weekend road trip, the Kicks is ready to carry the load. Convenience is baked into every detail. Rear doors open wide, child seat anchors are easy to access, and available features like a heated steering wheel, rear seat USB ports, and wireless charging pad help elevate the experience beyond expectations.
Engine and Powertrain
A 2.0-litre DOHC 4-cylinder engine powers every 2025 Kicks, generating 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. It's smooth, responsive, and well-matched to Nissan's latest Xtronic CVT®, which prioritizes fuel economy and smoothness. While the Kicks is designed primarily for comfort and efficiency, it offers surprisingly agile handling and stable highway performance.
The biggest mechanical update for 2025 is the addition of available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. Designed to automatically detect and respond to changing road conditions, this system directs power to the wheels that need it most—especially in slippery or uneven surfaces. With Snow Mode now included on AWD models, the Kicks is better prepared than ever for cold weather and changing terrain. Drivers can toggle between multiple drive modes—Standard, Eco, Sport, and Snow—giving them greater control over how the vehicle behaves in different environments.
Technology
Technology has become a central part of what makes the Kicks such a strong value. Starting with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ as standard, even base models offer the kind of integration that used to be reserved for luxury vehicles. The touchscreen interface is quick and responsive, and the menu system is cleanly laid out.
Upper trims take it to the next level with available dual 12.3-inch displays—one for the driver's instrument panel and the other for infotainment. These screens can be customized, offering turn-by-turn navigation, media controls, range and efficiency data, and more. The entire system operates similarly to a tablet or smartphone, making it easy to adapt to. A standout feature is the available Bose Personal® Plus Audio System, which places UltraNearfield™ speakers into the front headrests. The result is an immersive sound experience that is tailored to the driver and front passenger.
