PERFORMANCE
Nissan Kicks

A great SUV needs to perform reliably while making every drive enjoyable. The 2025 Kicks has been completely redesigned from the ground up with greater power, enhanced capability, and impressive efficiency to make your journeys more exciting and versatile than ever before.

Engineering

For 2025, the Nissan Kicks receives a significant performance upgrade with a new, more powerful engine and the exciting addition of available all-wheel drive - a first for the Kicks. Whether you're commuting through city streets or venturing off the beaten path, the new Kicks delivers a responsive, confident driving experience.

Engine 2.0L 4-cylinder
Horsepower 140 HP
Torque 141 lb-ft
Drivetrain FWD (standard) / AWD (available)

The standard XTRONIC Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has been refined with a new control-valve system and twin oil pumps for even smoother acceleration and improved responsiveness. You'll feel the difference when merging onto highways or navigating city traffic, as the transmission makes constant micro-adjustments to optimize power delivery and efficiency.

Capability

The 2025 Kicks brings new levels of capability with its available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system - a first for the Kicks model. This system automatically sends power to all four wheels when needed, giving you enhanced traction and confidence in slippery conditions.

The redesigned suspension provides an impressive 8.4 inches of ground clearance - a significant increase from the previous generation - allowing you to tackle rough roads and minor off-road excursions with ease. Despite its enhanced capability, the Kicks still achieves excellent fuel economy, earning an EPA-estimated 31 city/36 highway MPG* with front-wheel drive.

Exterior Styling

The 2025 Kicks showcases an evolution in design with a more confident stance and modern aesthetic. Standard LED headlights with available three-bar signature lighting create a distinctive appearance, while the attractive slatted grille and sculpted hood enhance its athletic character.

The available 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels make a bold statement, while the 3D textured pattern on select trim pieces adds a unique, sport-inspired touch reminiscent of a sneaker sole.

Interior Comfort

  • 1.7 inches more front shoulder room
  • 1.9 inches more rear shoulder room
  • 0.9 inches more rear knee room
  • 29 cubic feet of cargo space (FWD models)

Premium features elevate your experience, with Nissan's renowned Zero Gravity seats now standard for both front and rear passengers, providing exceptional comfort on even the longest journeys.
