For 2025, the Kicks is getting a little bigger and more robust, but that’s not the biggest news. That has to be the arrival of AWD to the Kicks for the first time, placing it more squarely in the CUV space. That’s a positive development for a model that s eemed a little caught between compact hatch and subcompact crossover.

For 2025, the Kicks gets new styling in the form of a much chunkier grille and drop-down headlights, meaner wheel designs and more aggressive stance but with a taller ride height.

The single engine choice has grown from 1.6L to 2.0L, and it makes 141 hp fed through a CVT.

Inside, there’s a standard 7-inch touchscreen display, while dual 12.3-inch displays are optional.

When is the 2025 Nissan Kicks coming?

The revised 2025 Kicks is expected to launch on the market in summer 2024, so very soon.
