The 2025 Nissan Kicks is a major step forward and it’s thankfully not accompanied by a huge price increase. Quite the opposite as the redesigned crossover starts at $21,830.
Costing $490 more than its predecessor, the entry-level Kicks S is pretty bare bones as it rides on 16-inch steel wheels and lacks tinted rear windows. The model also has a number a black components, although there are LED lighting units.

The interior also focuses on value, but it boasts a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 7-inch infotainment system. Buyers will also find a urethane steering wheel, a four-speaker audio system, power windows and locks, and a Nissan Intelligent Key with a push-button ignition.
Despite its entry-level status, the Kicks S has a host of driver assistance systems including Intelligent Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Warning, and Lane Departure Warning. They’re joined by High Beam Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Automatic Braking, and Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.
The mid-level Kicks SV starts at $23,680 and has rear privacy glass as well as larger 17-inch steel wheels. The model also comes with additional body-color components including the mirrors and door handles.
Customers will find a classier cabin with a larger 12.3-inch infotainment system that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other highlights include a wireless smartphone charger, SiriusXM satellite radio, LED lighting, and two-tone stitching.
The range-topping Kicks SR begins at $26,180 and is distinguished by special headlights, a painted grille, and roof rails. The model also sports 17-inch alloy wheels as well as gloss black mirrors with integrated turn signals.
The upgrades continue inside, where drivers will find two-tone cloth and leatherette sport seats. They’re joined by a leather-wrapped steering wheel, faux carbon fiber trim, orange contrast stitching, and a larger 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg as the model also comes equipped with a six-speaker audio system, an ambient lighting system, and an automatic climate control system. Other highlights include illuminated vanity mirrors, front seatback pockets, and a holder for sunglasses.
Besides the interior upgrades, the Kicks SR comes with more advanced driver assistance systems. These include ProPILOT Assist, Emergency Lane Keep Assist, and Intersection Assist. They’re joined by Blind Spot Intervention, Traffic Sign Recognition, and an Intelligent AroundView Monitor with Moving Object Detection.
All trims are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 141 hp (105 kW / 143 PS) and 140 lb-ft (190 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to an Xtronic continuously variable transmission, which can be paired with an optional all-wheel drive system.
The latter costs $1,500 or $1,650 – depending on the trim – and is all-new for 2025. It’s a welcome change as all-wheel drive helps to separate the Kicks from other cheap crossovers, such as the Chevrolet Trax, which are front-wheel drive only.
