2025 Nissan Kicks, all-wheel drive available
Nissan will unveil the 2025 Kicks at the 2024 New York Auto Show next week.
The redesigned subcompact crossover will be available at dealers this summer in S, SV, and SR grades. Pricing will be announced closer to the release date.
The original Kicks has been on sale since the 2018 model year, and the new generation follows the familiar formula, but introduces all-wheel drive. This feature is offered in all grades as an alternative to the standard front-wheel drive setup, and its addition also adds a "snow" mode to the drive mode selector.
All grades are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a maximum output of 141 hp, mated to a CVT.
The new Kicks boasts more interior space than its predecessor for both passengers and cargo. The cargo area is 30.0 cubic feet standard and 60.0 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. There is also storage space under the cargo floor.
The dashboard features a floating digital screen for the instrument cluster and infotainment hub. Both screens are 7.0 inches as standard, but can be upgraded to 12.3 inches. There is also a flat-bottom steering wheel, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a Bose sound system.
Multiple electronic driver assistance features are also available, many of which are standard. Convenient features such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning are standard.
