A subcompact crossover SUV like the 2025 Nissan Kicks is terrific for drivers with an active lifestyle who still spend plenty of time in the city. The subcompact body frame for the Kicks is ideal for squeezing into tight parking spaces or driving down single-lane streets, while the crossover engineering under the hood ensures your SUV is up for your next adventure.
Meet the 2025 Nissan Kicks
The Kicks has an incredibly competitive fuel economy, with a combined mileage estimated at 31 MPG. In urban areas, this sporty small SUV gets 28 MPG, while on the highway, it logs 35 MPG. The eco-friendly performance of this model can be attributed to the compact design of the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder motor, the standard front-wheel driveline, and Nissan’s signature Xtronic CVT transmission.
To match the perky powertrain, which produces 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque, the Kicks is outfitted with a fully independent front suspension and a semi-independent rear suspension. Steering is responsive with speed-sensitive power, which provides more steering support driving at lower speeds for increased precision. Selectable terrain driving modes are also standard.
Exterior
The Kicks is equipped with hearty 16-inch steel wheels and all-season tires that can take on the trail, snowy roads, and rain-soaked city streets with ease. The body of this model has design elements like a body-colored front grille with Chrome surround, front LED accent lights, and an integrated rear spoiler for a sporty look. On upper models, such as the SV, drivers can opt for roof rail crossbars, heated side mirrors, and a moonroof.
Interior
The cabin features a six-way manually adjustable driver’s seat, a four-way manually adjustable front passenger seat, and 60/40 split-folding second-row bench seats. Child and pet-friendly cloth seating material is standard for the lower trim levels, along with an illuminated entry system, and a manual air conditioner with a built-in air filter to control dust and pollen. An auto-dimming rearview mirror is available as an upgrade via the Electronics Package.
The five-passenger Kicks has plenty of entertainment options housed in the seven-inch NissanConnect infotainment system, such as Bluetooth and USB ports to pass the aux cord to passengers. Upper trims elevate the infotainment experience on a 12.3-inch central display with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and other custom mobile apps. A four-speaker audio system with speed-sensitive volume control is standard.
Safety
The Kicks comes with a variety of standard safety tech, like High Beam Assist that automatically turns off high-beam headlights when approaching traffic is detected. Brake Assist can identify panic braking to increase braking power, while Hill Start Assist can prevent the Kicks from rolling backward when the SUV is stopped on an incline.
Practical features and competitive fuel economy are the highlights of the dynamic Nissan Kicks. If you think this model is suitable for your lifestyle, book a test drive at Springfield Nissan in Springfield, MO.
