The 2025 Nissan Kicks easily separates itself from the crowd of rival compact crossovers, offering a big personality in a small package. With nimble handling, a cozy cabin, and advanced tech packed into every inch, this year’s Kicks is a dependable companion, perfect for city streets and weekend getaways alike.
The Exterior
The newest Kicks features a uniquely styled exterior, including a body-colored front bumper, rear spoiler, black rear bumper, and integrated roof antenna. The front grille serves as the crossover’s focal point, painted in the body color of your choice and accented by shiny chrome. The Nissan’s exterior is crafted from fully galvanized steel of the highest strength, and the LED outside lighting system includes standard taillights and intelligent auto on/off headlights with low and high beams.
The top-trim Nissan Kicks SR adds premium features such as heated exterior mirrors, delay-off main headlights, and LED fog lights. Higher trims offer numerous optional add-ons, including a roof rack, a tilting and sliding moonroof, and a sunshade.
Mechanical Features
Each 2025 Kicks houses a two-liter 16-valve four-cylinder DOHC engine, producing 141 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 140 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM. Both the independent strut front suspension and the semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension feature a coil-over-shock design with stabilizer bars, and speed-sensitive steering is standard on all models this year. Each of the three trims in the lineup offers a choice between front-wheel or all-wheel drivetrains, with each model including an Xtronic continuously variable transmission.
In the Cabin
Despite its compact size, the newest Kicks offers over 125 cubic feet of space for passengers and just under 30 cubic feet of cargo volume, even with all five seats occupied, thanks to a clever and ergonomic cabin design. The base-model S comes with light tinting on all its windows, while the SV and SR trims feature deeper tinting, creating a cozy and private space that protects the Nissan’s premium cloth upholstery from sun damage.
For Your Convenience
The compact crossover’s instrument panel features a seven-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display that shows all the important info you’ll need during your drive. The Nissan Kicks comes with four surrounding speakers connected to the seven-inch NissanConnect display, while the SR trim offers an optional upgrade to a six-speaker Bose Personal Plus sound system. Every cabin is equipped with Siri Eyes Free voice-recognition software, wireless Bluetooth connectivity, and FM/AM radio.
The best way to deeply appreciate the fun and versatility of the newest Nissan Kicks is to experience it in person. Take the Kicks for a test drive today with us here at Ken Ganley Nissan Mayfield in Mayfield Heights, OH, and explore its smart features, efficient performance, and bold design.
