5 Must-Know Features of the Redesigned 2025 Nissan Kicks

The all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks is arriving soon at Canadian dealerships, and this redesigned compact crossover has generated a lot of buzz since its unveiling last month. After being treated to a top-to-bottom makeover, the latest Kicks emerges as a bolder, more capable, and impressively well-equipped vehicle ready to turn heads. As we eagerly await its summer 2024 release, here are five standout features that make the new Kicks one to watch.

1. Bold Redesign: Exterior and Interior Upgrades

The 2025 Kicks sports a completely overhauled look with larger dimensions and an aggressive, muscular stance. The exterior styling is unmistakable, with pronounced wheel arches, a distinctive grille, and eye-catching optional two-tone colour schemes. But the enhancements aren't just skin deep - the interior has been thoughtfully modernized as well. A horizontal orientation for the flat display screens angled towards the driver, along with a flat-bottom steering wheel and complementary dash stitching in the SR trim, give the cabin a contemporary and premium feel.

2. Enhanced Performance: New Engine and All-Wheel Drive 

Under the hood, the Kicks gets a power boost from an all-new 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. But the biggest news is the addition of an available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system across all trims - a first for this nameplate. Not only does this provide extra traction and control in inclement conditions, but the "Snow" mode optimizes settings for improved grip on slippery surfaces. Whether charging through fresh powder or navigating rain-slicked city streets, the 2025 Kicks inspires confidence.

3. Cutting-Edge Technology and Connectivity

The tech upgrades inside the new Kicks are seriously impressive. An available crisp 12.3-inch center touchscreen runs wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, ensuring seamless smartphone integration. The range-topping SR trim adds the class-exclusive Intelligent Around View Monitor for a virtual 360-degree bird's-eye camera view around the vehicle - perfect for tight parking spots. Wireless charging and multiple USB ports keep all your devices topped up and connected.

4. Upgraded Safety Features

Safety sees a major boost as well with Nissan's Safety Shield 360 suite standard across the lineup. This combines automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, and more to help keep you secure. Meanwhile, the SR trim gets ProPILOT Assist that provides steering assistance to gently keep you centered in your lane on the highway for a more relaxing drive.

5. Increased Space and Comfort 

Thanks to its enlarged exterior footprint, the 2025 Kicks offers substantially more space for passengers and cargo. Front and rear passengers will appreciate the extra shoulder and knee room, while the versatile cargo area provides 849.5 litres of space behind the second row in FWD models. Fold those rear seats flat, and you've got a cavernous 1,699.6 litres to fill - perfect for storing bulky gear for all your adventures.

The fully redesigned 2025 Nissan Kicks is shaping up to be an exciting option in the compact crossover segment when it rolls into dealers later this summer. With bolder styling, new capabilities, the latest tech amenities, and increased space, this new Kicks is ready to kick it up a notch.
