The all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks has been fully redesigned inside and out for a bolder first impression and more modern aesthetic, but it still retains its fun-loving demeanor and affordable price tag. If you’re looking for a well-rounded list of standard equipment and an efficient powertrain in your next compact SUV, read on to learn about some of the features that set this crossover apart.
1. Upgraded Engine
The 2025 Kicks now features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 141 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. A continuously variable transmission sends the power to the front wheels, but for the first time ever, all-wheel drive is available. You can switch between Normal, Eco, and Sport drive modes depending on your preference, and you’ll get an additional Snow mode when you upgrade to all-wheel drive.
2. Excellent Fuel Economy
The friendly starting price of the Kicks is complemented by a great fuel economy rating that will help you save money at the pump. When equipped with front-wheel drive, it boasts a highway rating of 35 mpg, which only decreases slightly to 34 mpg with all-wheel drive. Even if your commutes take you through city streets, you’ll still enjoy estimated ratings of 31 or 30 mpg, respectively.
3. Zero Gravity Seats
Prepare to get comfy: the new Kicks now features Nissan’s plush Zero Gravity seats in both the front and back, creating a luxurious ride for all five seat positions. Heated front seats are available with an optional package for the SV and SR trims, and every model includes a six-way manually adjustable driver’s seat.
4. Flexible Cargo Space
With 30 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of the base Kicks S model, you’ll have plenty of room for school and work bags, grocery hauls, and outdoor recreation gear. Fold down both sides of the 60/40-split rear seatback to create 59 cubes of space when you need to haul something extra, or just fold one side to accommodate rear passengers and larger cargo at the same time.
5. Driver-Centered Infotainment
The standard 7.0-inch infotainment display is positioned at a slight angle toward the driver for optimal visibility. If a larger screen is more appealing, the range-topping SR trim comes with a 12.3-inch version. Both options offer Siri Eyes Free voice recognition and wireless Bluetooth for smartphone connectivity and audio streaming, while upgrading to one of the higher trims unlocks wireless smartphone integration and custom mobile apps.
