2025 Nissan Kicks: What's in stock, trim-level comparison, FAQ's.

    Updated 2026-06-04
    Quick Answer

    The Nissan Kicks is Nissan's subcompact crossover, fully redesigned for the 2025 model year. It runs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making about 141 horsepower, paired with an Xtronic CVT. The big news for the redesign is that Intelligent AWD is now available — the first Kicks ever offered with all-wheel drive. Three trims (S, SV, SR) layer on tech and styling. Kicks remains one of the most affordable new crossovers on the market and now competes more credibly with the Hyundai Venue, Hyundai Kona, Chevy Trax, and Honda HR-V.

    Inside the Nissan Kicks

    What's new for the redesigned Kicks

    Model year 2025 was a full redesign for the Kicks, and the 2026 carries that redesign forward. The previous generation was strictly front-wheel drive — the redesigned Kicks now offers Intelligent AWD as a stand-alone option, which is the most significant change in the car's history and the headline reason to look at the new generation versus a leftover prior-gen unit. Power comes from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making about 141 horsepower, paired with an Xtronic CVT. The exterior is more upright and SUV-shaped than the previous Kicks, the interior is cleaner with available dual screens, and Safety Shield 360 is standard across the lineup.

    Trims + AWD pick

    The 2026 Kicks lineup is S, SV, and SR. S is the value entry — Safety Shield 360 standard, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the option of Intelligent AWD as a stand-alone add. SV is the volume trim and adds creature comforts buyers actually use day to day. SR is the sport-styled top trim with unique exterior trim, two-tone roof options, sport-styled interior, and the most available tech content; AWD remains a stand-alone option on the upper trims. Confirm exact 2026 equipment per trim on nissanusa.com — content shifts mid-cycle and AWD eligibility per trim is the detail to verify on the build site.

    How it stacks up in the subcompact-CUV segment

    The Kicks' competitive set is the Hyundai Venue, Hyundai Kona, Chevy Trax, and Honda HR-V. The redesigned Kicks lands in that group with two clear advantages: it is among the least expensive new crossovers you can buy, and it is now one of very few subcompact CUVs at this price point that offers AWD at all (Venue does not, Trax does not, HR-V does, Kona does). Where Kicks gives up ground is on outright power — at about 141 hp it is not quick — and on hybrid efficiency, which Kona offers and Kicks does not. The Kicks pitch is value, daily-driver comfort, standard active safety, and now AWD.

    Pros and Cons

    Pros
    • Among the most affordable new crossovers on the market — value-first pricing.
    • AWD newly available on the redesigned Kicks — a first for the nameplate.
    • Safety Shield 360 standard across the lineup — automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, rear AEB, high-beam assist.
    • Modernized interior with available dual screens and available wireless Apple CarPlay.
    • Easy-to-park subcompact footprint that still delivers SUV-shaped utility.
    • SR trim adds genuine personality — sport-styled exterior, two-tone roof options, unique interior trim.
    • Standard Nissan 3-year/36,000-mile and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranties.
    Cons
    • About 141 hp from the 2.0L four — adequate for the city, modest on highway merges and grades.
    • Gas-only — no hybrid option to chase a Kona Hybrid or Corolla Cross Hybrid on mpg.
    • AWD is a stand-alone option, not standard — verify availability per trim on the build site.
    • CVT can feel less engaging than the geared automatics in some rivals under hard acceleration.
    • Subcompact dimensions: rear-seat and cargo space trail compact-CUV alternatives like Rogue or CR-V.
