2025 Nissan Kicks

Sculpted with precision and brimming with personality, the 2025 Nissan Kicks offers 3 distinct trims—S, SV, and SR—each tailored with its own visual signature. The S trim sets the tone with its V-Motion grille and angular LED headlamps, backed by aerodynamic lines and 16-inch steel wheels, making a poised and stylish first impression. The Kicks SV takes it further with bold two-tone options such as Deep Blue Pearl with a Gun Metallic roof or a striking Gun Metallic paired with Scarlet Ember Tintcoat. The visual drama continues with integrated roof rails, 17-inch alloy wheels, and heated side mirrors, giving it unmistakable curb presence. For the driver who prefers a touch of edge, the SR trim elevates the aesthetic with larger 19-inch wheels, gloss-black accents, a rear roof spoiler, and LED fog lights that make its arrival impossible to ignore. This is not a crossover that blends into the background—it’s designed to stand out on the streets of McMinnville.

Underpinning the Kicks' confident character is a refined 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 141 hp and 149 lbs.-ft. of torque. This powertrain, matched to Nissan’s ultra-smooth Xtronic CVT®, strikes a perfect balance between efficiency and responsiveness. Whether you’re zipping through McMinnville’s charming downtown or merging onto Highway 99W, the Kicks responds with poise and agility.

While performance in the compact SUV segment often leans toward compromise, the 2025 Kicks defies that expectation. Its nimble footprint allows for precision handling, especially appreciated in congested urban settings or tight parking lots. The suspension calibration delivers composure over broken pavement, while Intelligent Trace Control—standard on the SL trim—subtly enhances cornering stability by braking individual wheels when needed. The FWD platform remains highly efficient, though those seeking an edge in unpredictable Oregon weather can opt for Intelligent AWD, which actively adjusts power delivery for maximum traction. From vineyards to coastlines, the Kicks moves with confident grace.

Inside, the 2025 Kicks delivers a surprising level of refinement. The cabin is a masterclass in ergonomic design, anchored by Nissan’s “gliding wing” dashboard layout that blends aesthetic minimalism with intuitive function. Materials feel upscale, with soft-touch surfaces, ambient lighting, and available heated Zero Gravity seats finished in either plush cloth or sophisticated leatherette. Dual 12.3-inch displays—available on higher trims—offer seamless integration of wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, all while eliminating cord clutter thanks to an available wireless charging pad. The available Bose® Personal Plus sound system envelops occupants in concert-level audio, delivering an experience more commonly associated with premium nameplates. For practicality, the rear seats split and fold to reveal up to 60 cu. ft. of cargo volume—ample space for wine tasting weekends, camping gear, or local market hauls.

Named an IIHS Top Safety Pick, the 2025 Nissan Kicks doesn’t just look the part—it protects like a true companion. Nissan Safety Shield® 360 comes standard across the lineup, equipping every Kicks with Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. High Beam Assist ensures night drives through the Willamette Valley remain clear and safe, while the available Intelligent Around View® Monitor lends a bird’s-eye view for navigating crowded parking areas with ease. A reinforced body structure, advanced airbag system, and rear sonar sensors all work in unison to deliver safety without compromise. This is peace of mind, engineered by Nissan, and built for McMinnville life.
