Despite the decline in affordable cars, the Nissan Kicks remains a symbol of cost-effectiveness. The earlier model was priced under $20,000 when fresh. The 2025 Nissan Kicks may not be as inexpensive as its forerunner, yet with a significant redesign, enhanced interior, and the introduction of optional all-wheel drive, it is competitively priced. Including the obligatory $1,390 destination charge, the 2025 model is priced at $23,220, just $490 above the 2024 model. Standard amenities now feature adaptive cruise control, LED exterior lighting, a standard 7.0-inch touchscreen, and Nissan’s Safety Shield 360, offering automatic emergency braking, high-beam assist, and more.

All-wheel drive is accessible across all Kicks models, ranging from the base S to the premium SR. The mid-tier SV trim includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charging pad, and 17-inch wheels. The top-tier SR model adds 19-inch wheels, distinctive LED headlight accents, two-tone stitching, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and for the first time on Kicks, Nissan’s hands-free ProPilot driving assist. Additional options such as a panoramic moonroof, heated front seats, a Bose 10-speaker audio system, and a heated steering wheel are available through the Premium package. The SV Premium package adds $1,500, while the SR Premium package adds $1,950.

The 2025 Nissan Kicks is set to arrive at dealerships this summer.
