The 2025 Nissan Kicks is here! And if you think you know the Kicks, think again. There’s a new, completely reimagined for 2025, Kicks on the block. 

If you’re in the market for a crossover to keep up with your active lifestyle and wonder, “Is a Nissan Kicks a good car for me?” then you may find the 2025 Kicks your perfect fit. 

The previous model years of the Nissan Kicks are known for efficient performance and urban-friendly design. The 2025 Kicks delivers here, too – and boasts some significant updates. It’s more spacious, powerful, and tech-enabled than ever.

Learn what’s new for the 2025 Nissan Kicks and explore some features that make this newly redesigned compact crossover a standout in its class. 

1. Bigger and Bolder Dimensions

How big is a Nissan Kicks? The answer depends on the model year! The 2025 Kicks has grown and now provides a more spacious and accommodating interior compared to previous model years. The Kicks now now measures:

  • Length: 171.9 inches (an increase from the previous model’s 169.1 inches)
  • Width: 70.9 inches (up from 69.3 inches)
  • Height: 64.2 inches (compared to 63.4 inches in 2024)

This increase in size translates to:

  • Expanded Cargo Space: With 29 cubic feet behind the second row in front-wheel-drive models and up to 59 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded.
  • Improved Passenger Comfort: Passengers in both rows benefit from added legroom and Nissan’s Zero Gravity seating, now standard front and rear. These ergonomically designed seats can help reduce fatigue on longer drives.

The 2025 Kicks strikes the perfect balance between a compact footprint and a spacious interior. While slightly larger than previous model years, its redesigned size still makes navigating tight city streets and parking spaces a breeze, while its roomy cabin offers more space for passengers and gear. This makes the Kicks an excellent choice for urban drivers, families, and adventure-seekers, too! 

2. Redesigned Exterior for a Modern Look

The 2025 Nissan Kicks embraces a more commanding (and stylish!) presence on the road. A taller hood, a striking V-motion grille, and a new two-tone paint scheme give the Kicks a bold and contemporary aesthetic. These updates make the Kicks stand out whether parked downtown or cruising the highway.

3. Upgraded Power and Performance

The new 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine offers a significant upgrade over the previous 1.6-liter engine, delivering 141 horsepower compared to 122 horsepower in the 2024 model. This additional power can add confidence when merging onto highways or passing other vehicles.

For the first time ever, the Kicks offers an available all-wheel-drive system. AWD can help provide better traction and stability in challenging conditions like rain or rough terrain. Combined with its compact turning radius and responsive handling, the Kicks is more versatile than ever.

4. Reliability and Upgraded Safety Features 

Are Nissan Kicks reliable? The answer is yes! Nissan has a well-earned reputation for building reliable vehicles, and the 2025 Kicks is no exception. Beyond its robust build quality, the Kicks is equipped with advanced safety features designed with you and your passengers in mind: 

  • Nissan’s Standard Safety Shield® 360: Includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning.
  • Available ProPILOT Assist: This available semi-autonomous driving feature can help with highway driving by managing speed, steering, and distance from other vehicles.
  • Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert: Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts add extra layers of awareness, especially when navigating busy parking lots or highways.

5. Advanced Technology That Keeps You Connected

The 2025 Kicks comes equipped with cutting-edge technology that enhances your driving experience, allowing you to stay hands-free and connected while on the road. 

Here’s what you can expect from the 2025 Nissan Kicks’ infotainment system: 

  • Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ Integration: Seamlessly connect your smartphone to enjoy hands-free calls, navigation, and music streaming.
  • Haptic Touch Climate Controls (SR Trim): The SR Trim offers a sleek and modern replacement for traditional knobs and dials.
  • Flat Horizontal Display Screens:  New display screens are angled toward the driver for improved visibility and usability.
  • Upgraded Infotainment System: The 2025 Nissan Kicks’ infotainment system ensures a responsive and intuitive interface for all your media and navigation needs.

6. A Pricetag That Won’t Give You Sticker Shock

The 2025 Nissan Kicks boasts serious upgrades, incredible technology, and stunning looks. So, you might have the opposite of sticker shock when you hear the base price: the starting MSRP for the 2025 Nissan Kicks is $21,830! 

Pricing can go up depending on your trim level and optional features (think AWD, Surround-View Monitors, Sport Seats, Alloy wheels, or PROPilot Assist). But even with the upgrades, the 2025 Nissan Kicks can be an affordable, tech-enabled option. The starting MSRP for the SR AWD is still under $30,000, clocking in at $27,680.
