2025 Nissan Kicks Upgrades & New Features
If you've been eagerly awaiting an answer to the question, "Will there be a 2025 Nissan Kicks?", you'll be more than pleased by the answer: There will indeed be a 2025 Nissan Kicks, and it will feature a major redesign inside and out, boasting new style, technology, and features for drivers to enjoy. The momentous 2025 Nissan Kicks release date should arrive in late Summer 2024, and you can learn more about everything from the SUV's styling to its safety features by reading this guide from Wally's Nissan of Latham below.
Discover the Nissan Kicks Redesign
The 2024 Nissan Kicks is by no means a boring-looking SUV, but it still looks like an SUV. The all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks, on the other hand, is designed to look more like a sneaker that you'd see on the trendiest influencer's foot.
It uses wild sweeping lines and sharp edges to make its exterior stand out even against the most futuristic-looking vehicles. From the slashes forming the front grille and lights to the prominent cliff that contains the taillights to the one-of-a-kind rear window details, the 2025 Nissan Kicks is as captivating as any SUV in this segment could possibly be. It's inspired by and designed for modern culture, and that extends beyond just the styling.
The overall styling theme and highly advanced technology make the ergonomic 2025 Nissan Kicks interior feel like a road-going jet cockpit. With ample power and great MPGs helping you fly around the city, the redesigned Nissan Kicks will, in a nutshell, kick the small SUV segment up a notch.
2025 Nissan Kicks Specs: More Room & All-New AWD
There's nothing quite like a car that has a spacious interior and an agile exterior. The Kicks has been the very definition of such a car since its inception, and the 2025 Nissan Kicks improves on this package further.
While complete dimensions aren't yet available, we do know that the model improves shoulder room by 1.7 inches in the front and by 1.5 inches in the rear. There's also a massive 60 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume, which is quite simply the best in the class.1 Even with the rear seats up, you'll get 30 cubic feet of cargo room; the 2024 model delivered an impressive 25.3 cubic feet in that regard. There are also the largest-in-class cargo area opening1 and flexible luggage boards to enhance cargo capability.
Similarly big for such a small SUV, the upcoming Nissan Kicks features a new 2.0-liter engine that makes 141 horsepower – a 19-horsepower boost over the speedy 2024 model. The 2025 model is also the first Kicks SUV to offer AWD. While the 2025 Nissan Kicks gas mileage is not yet confirmed, the 2024 model delivered an EPA-estimated 31/36/33 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),2 and we don't expect that rating to change much.
2025 Nissan Kicks Trims: Same Names With New Features
Like the 2024 Nissan Kicks, the redesigned 2025 model can be yours in the S, SV, and SR trim levels. Either model year can offer impeccable value (S), thorough upgrades for not much more money (SV), or sporty top-tier enhancements (SR). The core features are similarly laid out but have enhancements all around.
You'll find a whole roster of new Nissan Kicks features, including larger screens and greater connectivity. An available 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a 12.3-inch touch-screen infotainment display, and wireless Apple CarPlay® are brand-new for the model. Signature features like Zero Gravity Seats remain, but more enhancements, including a 10-speaker Bose® Personal Plus sound system, wireless charging pad, and power moonroof, are available in the 2025 Nissan Kicks.
2025 Nissan Kicks Driver Assistance Features: Safe & Advanced
The Nissan Kicks safety features have always been a big selling point of this SUV. The original Nissan Kicks modified the typical expectations for this segment, and the 2025 model continues to offer what made it great, providing the following standard features:
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
- Blind Spot Warning
- High Beam Assist
- Lane Departure Warning
- Rear Automatic Braking
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Intelligent Cruise Control
These features are the same as what the 2024 model offered as standard, but with one change: Intelligent Cruise Control is now standard on the entry-level Kicks S. With ProPILOT Assist newly available on the Kicks, and fan favorites like an available Intelligent Around View Monitor and Intelligent Driver Alertness system returning for 2025, the Kicks remains a top-tier choice for safety in a small SUV.
2025 Nissan Kicks Colors: More Stylish Than Ever
In terms of color options, the 2025 Nissan Kicks will go in a slightly different but more dynamic direction than the lineup of 2024 Nissan Kicks vehicles did, placing more emphasis on two-tone choices. The color options are:
- Super Black / Aspen White TriCoat
- Super Black / Gun Metal Metallic
- Gun Metal Metallic / Deep Blue Pearl
- Super Black / Arctic Ice Blue Metallic
- Super Black / Yuzu Yellow Metallic
- Super Black / Scarlet Ember TriCoat
- Scarlet Ember TriCoat / Gun Metal Metallic
- Canyon Bronze Metallic
Colors like Yuzu Yellow Metallic and Arctic Ice Blue Metallic are completely new additions to our all-new Nissan inventory that amp up the vibrant, trendy style of the SUV.
