2025 Nissan Kicks SV

The Nissan Kicks is a subcompact crossover that slots below the Rogue, offering a budget-friendly entry into Nissan's SUV lineup. It competes with the Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Kia Soul in the small crossover segment. The Kicks is easy to maneuver in the city, with a light steering feel and a smooth ride that soaks up bumps well. The cabin offers a simple layout with comfortable front seats, and the rear seats fold to expand cargo space. Standard tech includes a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a suite of driver aids. The SV is the trim for shoppers who want all-wheel drive without stepping up to the SR. Its 2.0L I4 makes 141 horsepower and pairs with a CVT, which means relaxed acceleration and 30 mpg combined.
