2025 Nissan Kicks

The 2025 Nissan Kicks shows off its rugged, updated look in 3 trims, each with unique exterior elements. The Kicks S trim starts with a bold V-Motion grille framed by sharp LED headlights, flowing body lines, and 16-inch steel wheels for a sporty, urban-friendly demeanor. The Kicks SV introduces the unmistakable contrasting color options like Deep Blue Pearl with a Gun Metallic roof, creating a youthful appearance. Go for a Gun Metallic body topped off with a Scarlet Ember Tintcoat roof with integrated roof rails for a look like nothing else on the road. 17-inch alloy wheels and heated side mirrors are the cherry on top of the SV. The boldest of all, the SR trim, rolls in on 19-inch wheels, showing off assertive blacked-out accents, a rear roof spoiler, and signature lighting including LED fog lights. Every Nissan Kicks is just that—a kick of fun, attitude, and confidence.

Under the hood, the 2025 Kicks is powered by a brand-new and improved 2.0L 4-cylinder engine generating 141 hp and 149 lbs.-ft. of torque. Combined with the SUV’s lightweight structure and Nissan’s Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission), you can expect a kick of acceleration, along with a smooth, efficient ride. Ideal for city driving, this engine also offers impressive fuel efficiency for both daily commutes and weekend road trips.

The 2025 Kicks delivers versatile and agile performance. Its compact size and tight turning radius make navigating busy streets and parking easy. Precise steering and a tuned suspension provide a smooth and composed ride, even on uneven surfaces. The SL trim boasts Intelligent Trace Control, which applies brakes to each wheel automatically, which works well with the standard front-wheel drive setup. This lets the Kicks deliver dependable traction in dry conditions, making it practical and fuel-efficient for daily driving. For superior stability and grip, the available Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive continuously monitors the road and adjusts traction as needed. This subcompact SUV promises big performance wherever the road takes you.

Available dual 12.3-inch color touchscreen infotainment displays offer wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, keeping you connected and your cabin free of cord clutter, enhanced by an optional wireless charging pad. Higher trims add a Bose® Personal Plus system for premium sound quality. Cargo space is impressive for a subcompact SUV, providing 60 cu. ft. with split-folding rear seats, allowing for sports equipment, longer items, groceries, and whatever you might need. All these features together make the Kicks a practical choice for families or outdoor enthusiasts.
