The 2025 Nissan Kicks – it Up a Notch

The 2025 Nissan Kicks has been refreshed with significant upgrades, making it a competitive option in the subcompact SUV category. This car has a fresh new look that will be attracting anyone looking for a modern upgrade with all the functions of an SUV but ideal for navigating city streets from small towns to downtown Toronto. Let's walk you through this amazing redesign.  

Kicks offers selectable performance settings so when you need to pivot to adhere to your travel plans or weather conditions, match your Drive Mode to the conditions — or your mood. With options for: 

  • Standard 
  • Eco 
  • Sport  
  • Snow Mode 

The 2025 edition of the Kicks has a more powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, delivering 141 horsepower and 140 lb.-ft of torque—an improvement from its predecessors 1.6-liter engine. Along with this power boost, Nissan has introduced an Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system that continuously monitors  

road conditions and can quickly respond to help provide traction, making it suitable for Canadian winters, especially with the new Snow Mode feature designed for slippery surfaces. While not having AWD drive on the entire time so you can continue to be well optimized for fuel economy on those easy weathered days during the warmer months here in Canada.

A Modern Redesign  

When it comes to aesthetics WOW....just WOW. The 2025 Nissan Kicks has a whole new look, featuring a redesigned front grille, LED light accents, and a floating roof design. The base S has 16-inch wheels, while the SV and SR Premium can have 19-inch rims. 

The interior offers a more modern feel, with a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen and, on higher trims, a fully digital instrument panel. In the SR Premium, it is seamlessly integrated with a configurable 12.3-inch digital instrument display housed under a single pane. 

The two lower trims have a seven-inch instrument cluster. All include WIRELESS Android Auto and Apple CarPlay; and all include two USB-C ports up front, while the SR Premium adds two more in the back.

The 2025 Nissan Kicks now has more practical features like zero gravity seating and expanded cargo space, ranging from 677 to 850 liters (about the volume of a large refrigerator), making it comfortable for both daily commuting and road trips. 

Ever notice how long drives leave you feeling worn out? That’s because holding the same position for extended periods and poor posture can quickly lead to fatigue. Nissan has tackled this issue with its innovative Zero Gravity seats, designed to reduce discomfort during long trips. 

At first glance, Nissan's Zero Gravity seats may look like ordinary car seats, but their advanced design offers noticeable benefits. Inspired by NASA’s studies on neutral body positioning in space, these seats promote a posture that minimizes pressure on the body. This "weightless" position alleviates stress and muscle fatigue, providing a more comfortable driving experience.

Benefits of Zero Gravity Seats 

  • Reduced Stress: Nissan incorporated 14 strategically placed pressure points in these seats to help maintain proper spinal alignment. This neutral spine position eases tension in joints and bones, reducing overall body stress during travel. 

  

  • Increased Energy: By enhancing blood circulation and minimizing muscle fatigue, Zero Gravity seats keep drivers more alert, especially during long journeys. The design reduces strain on the shoulders and back, ensuring that drivers stay energized and comfortable. 

 

  • Enhanced Comfort: Beyond health benefits, these seats are simply comfortable. Nissan tested them across a wide range of body types to ensure a pleasant ride for everyone, regardless of size or shape. 

The Nissan Kicks lets you own tight corners and seasonal terrain; the curved upper fenders and flat hood make it easier for drivers to determine just where the front end is. While it is a bit larger than the version it replaces, it is still a city-friendly subcompact vehicle made for narrow urban streets. 

New Driver Assistance Technology 

When navigating those city streets or cottage country highway traffic some of the new tech that comes standard in the 2025 redesign is going to blow you away. With all trims equipped with the Nissan Safety Shield 360, which includes: 

  • Emergency braking 
  • Lane departure warning 
  • Adaptive cruise control 

The 2025 Kicks comes in three trim levels: S, SV, and SR Premium. The top SR Premium trim goes further, adding ProPilot Assist, a semi-autonomous driving feature that makes highway driving easier. The S and SV come standard with FWD but can be optioned with AWD, while the SR Premium is AWD-only. 

 The 2025 Kicks continues to prioritize fuel efficiency, with front-wheel-drive models rated at 7.4 L/100 km (about 62.14 mi) combined, and AWD versions slightly higher at 7.7 L/100 km.  

New Pricing 

The 2025 Kicks starts in S trim and FWD at $29,229 CAD, while the SV FWD is starting at $30,779 CAD. Both great price options for a new vehicle with warranty and all the features mentioned above.
