Multiple engine options cater to a range of driving needs with the introduction of a new powertrain. The 2025 Kicks features a 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine, delivering 141 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. This represents a significant improvement over the previous generation's output of 122 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque. Power flows through a next-generation Xtronic continuously variable transmission, optimized for smooth acceleration and efficient operation.

Expected to deliver up to 33 MPG highway with FWD, and 30 MPG with AWD, making the 2025 Kicks a smart SUV of choice for fuel efficiency. The new Intelligent AWD system actively monitors road conditions and redistributes power between the front and rear wheels as needed. Up to four distinct drive modes — Sport, Standard, Eco, and Snow — allow drivers to tailor the vehicle's response to their preferences and conditions. Active Ride Control and Intelligent Trace Control work together to deliver composed handling and confident cornering ability. The AWD model accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 9 seconds, while the improved ground clearance of 8.4 inches provides added capability for light off-road excursions.

The cabin design prioritizes both comfort and functionality with significant upgrades throughout. Dual 12.3-inch displays create an immersive digital environment, with one serving as the instrument cluster and the other handling infotainment duties. The available Bose Personal Plus Audio System with 10 speakers delivers premium sound quality. Zero Gravity front and outboard rear seats provide exceptional comfort during long drives. Cargo capacity varies between front-wheel-drive and AWD configurations. FWD models offer 30 cubic feet behind the rear seats, expanding to 60 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. AWD versions provide 23.9 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 50.1 cubic feet with seats folded. A class-leading trunk opening width of 40.3 inches and low liftover height of 28 inches makes loading and unloading cargo easier.

The 2025 Kicks earned a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, with "Good" ratings in several key categories. Standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 technologies include automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring for greater peace of mind on the road. The available ProPILOT Assist system adds semi-autonomous driving capabilities, while the Intelligent Around View Monitor provides a 360-degree camera perspective for easier maneuvering in tight spaces.
