Crazy how a $23000 Nissan Kicks looks better than almost every new BMW.

this car looks happy. there's not many cars nowadays that make you happy looking at it.

Fun fact, if you look at the new Nissan Kicks from a straight front view, you can see that it still retains the V-motion grille. It's just integrated in a more clean fashion, in my opinion. But this new look for the front of the new Kicks is definitely Nissan's new design language moving forward.

It looks great. Good Job Nissan!

Nissan nailed it. This could be mistaken for another makes design without the badges. Very clean and well thought out. Definitely needs a more powerful engine.

I bought a 2017 Kick for my little brother who graduated HS last year. To be honest, I thought it was very ugly 😅. But after a week I wanted one for my self. It’s quick and fast. Only on turns I feel like because of it’s lightness, it’s gonna spend out of control but it’s my feelings and opinion. I might buy this 2025 model when it come out for my wife.

Good for Nissan. This looks great. I also love the new Z. But as for everything else, Nissans look like they belong parked on a lawn next to a trampoline in a bad zip code. They have desperately needed to revitalize their designs for years.

Nismo trim with 6spd please. Nissan needs more 'fun' and affordable cars in their lineup.

Great looking entry level car but they should’ve added the Juke hybrid or E- Power engine as an option. Missed the mark.

The 2025 Kicks may be replacing a lot more than just the current smaller size Kicks model. Given the increase in interior space and physical size with the new model, you wonder will this also replace the Sentra (Sylphy outside North America) sedan and the Qashqai (known until recently as the Rogue Sport in North America) crossover simultaneously.

Impressive!

Nissan's weird design era has ended (I guess it's related to their breakup with Peugeot? or was ir Renault?). Now they're very futuristic in a good way.

We have a 2020 SR at our house. For the price it has fantastic features far above everything else out there. Perfect for our youngest. We are up to 45k on it and changed the CVT fluid at 40k with no issues at all.

like its front. just found the area between C and D pillars too busy, and the rear a bit odd, too on the isometric view. don't like the wheels too, like Ariya's. but good that it doesn't have a rear light bar!

omg this might be my wife's new car. looks good

what will the next LEAF look like? please make a video about it

Since it appears to be in a different class of vehicle now, I'm wondering if they're gonna use it as the replacement for the Rogue Sport or something

What is the MPG for AWD?

I see the gorgeous timeless line of the DATSUN behind you and i try to make the link with this new Kicks! THIS IS A GLORIOUS CONTINUITY MADE BY NISSAN. great brands must conserve the success-path to advance. the kicks is the summary of nippon phylosophy . and it still KICKS !!!!!!!!!!!! nice suv.

You should make a video on the aurus senat

Beautiful car. 🚗

Looking good from all angles. Ground clearance over 8 inches. Bose speaker system. Rugged and big enough to be masculine and small enough to park anywhere. No electric vehicle bullshit. That’s gonna be my new car. Nissan nailed it. This is going to sell like hotcakes as it should be. Congrats Nissan. Volvo, XC4 at half the price and without the premium fuel. 👏👏👏👏

Nice fridge, better than some other car manufacturers

It's almost the size of the 2015 Qashqai. Most brands do the same, they oversize the vehicles to create a new ''compact'' model.

It's interesting how if you look at a current S-class or 8 series, you'll get a glimpse at what tech ecoboxes will get in the following 3-5 years.

When it comes to wheels, I always think a simple sporty 5 spoke no black nonsense design looks best. Love the 2 tone color scheme.

I agree, it looks really nice! For me, the new kia sportage front end took the win for my favorite looking gas powered SUV. Anything else looks dated.

The front view looks original & awesome. But I am not so sure about the rear view though. Whenever a car company changes their design language like this, it usually means that there is either a new CEO, or new Design Director.

It looks cute, but I wish the front hood was sloped downward more.

There's so much H/K in the design, inside and out, but I'm not mad at that. I'm seeing Korean styling adapted onto a Chevy Volt. The most random design comparison is rear 3/4 angle reminds me of the first gen Kia Rondo.

Still the Jatco CVT, Or have they improved it?

The grille sorta makes it look like a baby john deere combine. And I aint complaining! Those things are sick.

Great front styling not too keen on the rear though.

Mitsubishi x-force

You look good in those glasses.

I would have never considered buying the previous generation Kicks but I'm thoroughly impressed with this new model. The Kicks was near the bottom of the segment in 2023, hopefully this new model will let Nissan rise in the ranks so to speak. As for the one available engine option, I suspect that this is going to be one of the first models to get Nissan's X-in-1 series hybrid option starting in 2026 or 2027 model year No pictures of the S or SV trims yet, but Nissan has released the full specifications for each trim level. If you're interested here's the link usa.nissannews.com/en-US/releases/2025-nissan-kicks-press-kit?selectedTabId=release-0fecd3178a6d705b368a43209e09000a PS: Sad news for lovers of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto such as myself, it won't be available on the base S model, this alone is worth the price of the SV trim imo which comes with the 12.9 inch display and Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

I like the way he never mention tucson drl . The front at night it's a Hyundai Tucson point blank.

The sr version should get a more powerful hybrid set up. 175-80 ish combined power and super mpgs.. they will sell boatloads of them!

It looks nice! I'd prefer it without the contrasting roof color, as I think it throws off some of the body lines. That said, It's still a shame it's no where near as sporty and fun as the Juke it replaced. It's nice it's gone from 122 to 141 hp, but it's still a snoozefest. Give us at least a sporty trim level that gets closer to the 188 hp in the base Juke, if not the 215 in the Juke Nismo. People will debate over the Juke's styling (and this new Kicks ), but if you were in the market for one when Nissan cancelled it and replaced it with the Kicks, the Kicks was a huge let-down.

Well done #Nissan !!! This is best design twist Nissan has done so far. I want more advanced design and engine efficiency and reliability from Nissan

That lower front end “splitter” looks like a big chin. I feel like that whole piece could be removed and it’s look better.

The front of the car looks like a Hyundai Tucson and the back looks like a kia Telluride.

They missed the boat! They should have a epowered hybrid! Would sell insane amounts.

I really wish they would put a turbo motor in this. Especially with the AWD.

😍😍🤎

Looks great, but how the hell is Nissan still making the mistake of putting the CVT in their cars? How much decades of money did their pour into CVT production that they still haven't broken even and move on to a different transmission technology? The Pathfinder already switched away from the CVT and the Frontier was a godsend by never having a CVT in ANY of its models.

Hmmm the orange peel paint on the trunk.

Its better than the Juke and Quashqui (however you spell it) but im not so sure if i like it, maybe itll grow on me

Man those wheels need a size increase and to drop slightly.

Should have awesome performance and reliability with a Jatco CVT.

Looking at the side view, it looks like it's lifted 3 inches. It makes look awkward and top heavy.

Style wise, Nissan was always good. However, the CVT'S let it down. I would love 6-speed manual and a Turbo 2.0 engine.

Really wonder his much it’ll go up in price!!

I have never heard of a Nissan Kicks.

Nice

Side profile looks like the Fisker EV.

This car was missing AWD, hopefully Nissan has improved the reliability of their CVT.

Crazy that we’re just wiping out smaller cars/crossovers.

It reminds me of a VW but a huge improvement than the old one

The rear looks a lot like an electric MG

They nailed it with design but they failed it with rear passenger seat leg room

I hope it has a better CVT transmission.!

Nice fresh look. Though, I think with the bump in size and weight a 2.0L isn't going to cut it. Honda did the same thing with the HR-V redesign. Another sleepy turtle that's only good for running errands in the city.

More ground clearance than a Rock Creek Pathfinder!

It would be nice if it were 0.5 m shorter in height

Where’s the e-power and e-force power-plants!

Idk why Nissan found it so hard to put LED taillights on their cars it made all Nissan look stupid i mean who thought a $30k+ SUV with incandescent lights would be a good idea in 2023

Yeahnah...

They just need to fix car and slap on a 1.5 turbo

e-Power is the only powertrain this should have. No turbos, CVTs, or multi speed automatics with tons of moving parts.

this was surprising! and wow honestly! this design looks great! makes me look forward to their future line up! honestly impressive! the juke DIED in north america so that the KICK can SOAR! just wish the engine was better..... still really weak engine , will be a great city car.... to putt putt around but meh the engine is the biggest downside imo

Soooooooooo I don't mean to burst yall bubble but this is already an old vehicle but it works. This was supposed to be the nissan rogue sport that they never gave us in 2021. :(.

ALMOST, hey FORGOT powered rear hatch, even Toyota Cross has that since 2023! Now if the price point is about $21,000 I can live without that power hatch!

NISSAN MASTERPIECE DESIGN

Now they just need to change the name.

more nissan cvt drama. tablet screen trend is overused at this moment of time.

looks good

The SR with the technology package is what I'd get Red on black

I see some Audi A2 in the side profile (B pillar).

is it just me or this Kicks has literally copy-pasted the front and the wheels from volvo EX30 and the rear from Alfa Romeo Milano?

Just don't get into a front end fender bender.

If they do not throw everything at it the Chinese are ready to take the entry level legacy cat makers. Particularly in non-OECD markets

Don't get to excited.

What's that faint banging noise in this video, dude? Really irritating. I'm wearing headphones and can hear it

B. E. A. U. T.

Really makes you wonder what they can do with the Rogue, cause I haven’t been all too impressed with the styling or the CVT.

Nissan Nailed it with unreliability

It looks cool but it doesn’t really look like a Nissan

Nissan in the past has made some gorgeous cars. Since the 2000 in my opinion Nissan has been making some of the ugliest cars on the road. Yes, even the 370Z and the GTR r35. I’m just not a fan. I’m so glad to see them going back to their roots!

Nissan rise back

Kinda hope my gf gets this

Still have that crappy cvt.

It’s a CVT😬

Improvement over old but still not that good Japanese cars may be reliable but the Japanese seem to be incapable of making a car look good

Its KIA Seltos.

Looks like something Kia would make

A gorgeous new design! But it will inevitably be let down by the powertrain.

Is everybody trolling😂? This car looks like a pickup truck, like a brick. That front is just ugly. It's feels overly stylized. Like you can't fit more traits in that front. I wouldn't mind the design, it wouldn't be bad, if it actually was a truck.

I looks very ugly in my opinion

Childish name and color scheme. Old-fashioned center console mounted stick shift. Still retains the trendy raised belt line at the C-Pillar which serves no purpose whatsoever. Interior is just boring, but if its an entry level model, I'll give it a pass. Still nothing I'd consider due to CVT.
