2025 Nissan Kicks.

I really didn’t expect a new Nissan Kicks. Although the current one came out in the US in late 2017, which means it was time for a new one, I guess.

I always liked the Kicks’ modern yet unassuming design. The new one seems a bit larger and more aggressive. Looking more like a bulldog. Nissan found a way to use very thin headlights, which means no larger lights hidden in the bumper like so many cars and SUVs have these days.

Nissan is claiming it has more power from its 2.0 Liter engine. But no numbers yet. The current model comes with 141HP. The 2025 Kicks still has a CVT transmission, and now offers AWD as an option, which will be much more appealing to many. And gives the new Nissan an advantage over the Chevrolet Trax.

The new Kicks is also roomier inside with an inch more rear legroom.

It will be available in 3 different grade levels, S, SV, and SR. Of course, the one pictured above is the loaded SR version.

The bad news is that Nissan still cannot figure out how to bring their Hybrid Power technology to the US, which is a shame. They’ve had it for years and yet, they offer zero hybrid models in the US.
