Fresh off a makeover, the 2025 Nissan Kicks, adds a few more feathers to its city-cruising cap, including new looks and four-season readiness. If you’ve been eyeing it, here’s a closer look at what makes it the perfect fit for urban living.
5 Reasons the 2025 Nissan Kicks Is the Perfect Urban SUV
1. Fits Anywhere, Goes Everywhere
Rule number one for a city runabout: take just enough space to get the job done, and not an inch more. The Kicks gets it. Pull it into an 8′ by 16′ parking spot (the standard size for compact vehicles), and you’ll have about 10 inches to spare front and back: just enough to keep your bumper anxiety in check. And with 25 inches of total side clearance, you won’t have to do the awkward door squeeze to get out.
Maneuvering into that spot? Easy. With a 17.4-foot turning radius, the Kicks can pull off tight U-turns and sneak into the curbside parking without dozens of back-and-forth corrections.
2. It’s Powerful, Efficient, and Capable
The Kicks make slipping into gaps and overtaking effortless, all thanks to its lively 141-horsepower 2.0-liter engine. It also nails another crucial city car requirement: efficiency. The EPA pegs the new Kicks at 28 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the open road. And for those days when the weather is unpredictable, the available intelligent all-wheel drive ensures you stay in control.
3. It’s Got Comfort For Days
The 2025 Kicks puts your comfort front and center. Nissan’s gravity seats, arguably its best-kept secret, offer all-day support, so you arrive feeling fresh, not stiff. You’ll also love the look of the all-new interior, the generous legroom and headroom, the responsiveness and visibility of the seven-inch infotainment display, and the freedom that physical buttons provide. Available upgrades here include dual 12.3-inch displays, heated front seats, and a banging Bose sound system.
Regarding cargo space, the Kicks offer around 30 cubic feet on front-wheel drive models and 24 on all-wheel drive variants. In real-world terms, that 24 cubic feet is enough to fit 8 carry-on suitcases. And if you fold down the rear seats, the capacity doubles, meaning that family road trips or big shopping sprees are no problem.
4. Features Five-Star Safety
You can never predict what’s coming next on the road unless it’s that one song in your playlist that always pops up after your favorite jam. But one thing you can count on is the Kick’s Safety Shield 360. This system bundles collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure alert, and blind-spot monitoring to keep you and your passengers safe and sound.
