If you’ve been searching for a smart, stylish SUV that doesn’t compromise on value, it’s time to pay attention to the all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks. Recently named one of Autotrader’s Best New Cars of 2025, the redesigned Kicks is turning heads and winning hearts with its refreshed styling, advanced tech, and industry-first features in its class. Whether you’re a city commuter, a first-time buyer, or someone who simply wants more from their everyday drive, the 2025 Kicks is the kind of vehicle that exceeds expectations—and still keeps things affordable.
Autotrader’s editors praised the Kicks for delivering a roomier interior, impressive efficiency, and new standout options like Intelligent All-Wheel Drive—available for the first time ever in the Kicks. Combine that with Nissan’s commitment to safety, comfort, and premium tech, and you get a crossover that’s not just good for its price point—it’s good, period. According to Autotrader’s Eric Brandt, “The new generation has a bigger interior, available all-wheel drive, and fun options like headrest speakers, and it still starts under $25,000.” That makes the Kicks the most affordable AWD SUV in the U.S.—a major win for budget-conscious drivers who don’t want to skimp on capability.
The all-new Kicks is also built to handle more than your average weekday commute. With a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine delivering 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque, plus an available 19″ wheel upgrade, the 2025 model is as ready for road trips as it is for tight city corners. It’s also surprisingly efficient, earning up to 28 MPG city and 35 MPG highway—ideal for those long drives between Swarthmore and Wilmington or quick runs into Philadelphia traffic.
Step inside, and you’ll immediately notice the elevated design of the Kicks’ cabin. The interior now features available dual 12.3″ digital displays that are customizable, intuitive, and sleekly integrated for a next-gen infotainment experience. Add in available wireless smartphone charging, USB-C ports, and NissanConnect® compatibility, and you’ve got a tech-forward setup that feels more luxurious than entry-level. Comfort hasn’t been overlooked either—available Zero Gravity front and outboard rear seats, smart storage, and ample cargo space make the Kicks a cozy and practical option for small families or solo drivers alike.
Safety continues to be a standout feature, with Nissan Safety Shield® 360 now standard on every 2025 Kicks. From Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert to Lane Departure Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, the Kicks offers a robust layer of driver support that’s rarely standard in this price range. It’s thoughtful technology that helps protect you and your passengers on every drive.
