This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks subcompact SUV. The Nissan Kicks is all new for 2025!
The 2025 Nissan Kicks has a new powertrain, an AWD option, a bolder design, more space and versatility. The Kicks will be offered in three trims and pricing will be announced closer to the on-sale date later in the summer. The 2025 Nissan Kicks is 2.8” longer, 1.6” wider and has almost an inch more height. The ground clearance is great on this model, 8.4” that’s almost an inch and half more clearance than the outgoing model.
Gone is the 1.6L 4-cylinder, the 2025 Nissan Kicks has a new powertrain with more horsepower and torque. A 2L 4-cylinder matched to a CVT with 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. Drive modes include, normal, eco and sport. Kicks AWD models add snow mode.
The2025 Nissan Kicks has a bolder looking exterior design, we are showing the sportiest model, the SR trim with SR badging and red exterior accents. The rocker panels have a three-dimensional shape on them inspired by the soles of athletic sneakers. Standard 16” wheels, available 17” and 19” wheels. A tire repair kit is standard, but you can add a temporary spare tire, it’s listed as an accessory. The interior of the 2025 Nissan Kicks feels sportier and more upscale with improved materials. There are dual screens, 7” are standard with wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto, available 12.3” with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. This is the first Nissan model to offer wireless Android Auto. Cloth upholstery is standard, available leatherette trimmed with cloth inserts. The 2025 Nissan Kicks SR model has orange interior accents and there is a package you can add to this top trim that has features like a panoramic sunroof, wireless charger and a 10-speaker Bose system. Other available features include heated fronts seats, a heated steering wheel and a 360-degree camera. The 2025 Nissan Kicks is missing a few features in the subcompact class like power fronts seats, driver seat memory, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a power tailgate.

Versa Note owner here. This was what I've been waiting for. I was ready to jump to an audi Q3, but if this is priced right and the interior is not too loud, I'm staying with Nissan. - AWD - pano roof - a little more horsepower

@calgary2800 2 ай бұрын

Are you sure about a Pano Roof. You have to deal with potential leaks, draining the tubes. I had a sunroof car before and it leaked causing the sunroof frame to crack causing over 2 k in repairs. I never want another car with a sunroof. Not worth it. Plus it takes away headroom.

What a difference! I was a little ‘too optimistic’ with the last/first generation. I’m not sure it exactly lived up to my/people’s expectations. It was a value offer that had a questionably weak CVT. This one is a whole different animal. I’m impressed, despite its almost cartoonish looking (but original) rear hips. Perhaps, I’ll reserve judgment this time around… at least for now.

Great review. Many of the negative comments about the product are both stupid and patently false. Nissan (like Hyundai and Kia) have done their homework and actually listened to consumer preferences over time (e.g., ICEs, feature-rich content, modern cutting-edge design and notable warranty programs). American and German automakers should be looking over their shoulders.

@jeffer1101 2 ай бұрын

Likely a good idea to consolidate the Kicks and Qashqai/Rogue Sport offerings into the new Kicks. I see a lot of Kicks around here and some Qashqais (but not a lot, I think most move to the Rogue instead). I'm sure they will price it right and it will likely sell quite well as it looks to be well equipped. If I had to pick something I didn't like, I find the wheels on that SR trim seem a bit off. Not the design, but having a 19" low profile wheel on a vehicle like this seems kind of "boy racer" to me. I'm not sure what this new model has in the way of suspension set up, but if it has oversized wheels with low profile tires and a torsion beam rear suspension, it's likely not the best combination. I think a smaller wheel size with a meatier tire (larger side wall) would help smooth the ride out and maybe match the vehicle proportions a bit better.

This new SR trim is impressive but I'm excited to see what the S and SV trims would look like as these would be the ones I would be most inclined to buy. If the speculated pricing of $23-$28k was true it would definitely be competitive with hot selling rivals like Honda HR-V, Subaru Crosstrek, Chevy Trax, Mazda CX-30, Toyota Corolla Cross and Hyundai Kona

Design looks nice, but touch capacitive buttons are a big let down, the 19” and 17” wheels even are probably too much for a safe drive on pothole riddled streets. Love that they at least have an optional spare. Legroom doesn’t look good considering you fit in the back only with the front seat moved forward so much that the front passenger doesn’t have the armrest anymore. So overall, nice looking car, for one person, on smooth roads, who doesn’t care about touching the hvac controls or radio.

I think you are missing the point. We are talking about the value of what one subcompact vehicle offers versus another for possibly the same price. The Kia Seltos offers every feature the Kicks is missing, that may be important to some people although it's not important to you. I have no problem with a vehicle missing features compared to its competitors if it's priced correctly. If it's priced the same with less, we let our viewers know so they can make an informed decision. At this time, we don't know the price of the Kicks but Nissan says they are going to price it competitively. The subcompact class is a highly competitive category, why not add some extra features if you are gong to produce a brand new vehicle. It's not about using your hands to open the lift gate, it's about its about some of its competitors offering this feature like the Mazda CX-30, Toyota Corolla Cross and the Kia Seltos.

It needs a hybrid option...period! Also, have they fixed their transmission issues yet? Hybrid options for nissan vehicles exist outside n. America so why not here. What are we? Chopped liver? Overall, it is nicer than the prior model but Nissan missed the boat totally not offering a hybrid. A hybrid = fuel economy and usually much better performance as the power of this mill, imo, is inadequate for anything but inner city driving.
