Well, you’re considering a compact SUV? Well, gather round, folks, because the 2025 Nissan Kicks is on its way, and it could be your car trip companion–or your grocery-getter. Alright, we have a little wonder on our hands now. Let’s take a closer look and get the party started.
Isn’t that always the case for first impressions? Well, the Kicks know how to make one. The curves and angles are sexy, edged by the front grille that loudly proclaims its readiness to party, yet the aerodynamics mumble like a whisper. It is also serious about fuel efficiency. It’s not just any car; it’s one that speaks volumes, especially when doing the mundane Monday to Friday traffic commutes in one of the new bright and happy colors. We can still discuss those LED headlights, though. They’re bright enough to spot a raccoon from a mile away. Throw in that with the sporty 17-inch alloy wheels, and what you get is a car that won’t even need to move to turn heads.
Just enter and see that it looks like the fictional TARDIS; the interior is much larger than the exterior of the building. The 2025 Kicks are spacious enough to comfortably seat five people with additional space for legs, heads, and that giant tote bag you think you need. Nissan’s engineers obviously know that snacks, friends, and legroom cannot be negotiated. The Zero Gravity seats provide that kind of embrace for your back, and let me tell you, your spine will be grateful after those marathon drives. Also, the flat-fold rear seats make it easy to transport virtually anything from your yoga mat to IKEA boxes. Nobody, honestly, tin hats and feather boas have never looked so practical.
No need for managing wires or dealing with nonsensical phone synchronization errors anymore. The Kicks offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which feels a bit like magic. The 8-inch touchscreen display is responsive and intuitive, making navigation as simple as tapping your favorite playlist. And yes, there’s a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot because we all know road trips mean keeping up with your favorite shows when you’re not behind the wheel. It’s 2025, after all—streaming is practically a life necessity.

This will make your wallet sing the praises you so much for noticing that you’re saving time and money at the pump.
If safety is your jam, you’re in for a treat. The Kicks comes loaded with Nissan Safety Shield 360. That means automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert are all standard. Driving in reverse feels less like a guessing game, and the adaptive cruise control makes highway driving a breeze. Basically, the Kicks is like having a really attentive co-pilot who never asks to control the music.
Here's where things get even better. Starting around $22,000, the Kicks delivers serious value. You’re getting premium features at a price that doesn’t require selling your soul—or your side hustle earnings. Certainly, the comfort and overall technology, let alone the safety one receives in this car, is really cheap and affordable. If you want some more improvements, there are higher trim levels, such as SV and SR, with even more exquisite features like the leather-wrapped steering and much better sound systems. Still, it is rather a lot to have in a base model, even if more powerful versions are available optionally.
