2025 Nissan Kicks SR

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 SR is the top Kicks trim, with sporty leatherette seats and a leather-wrapped wheel that the SV doesn't get. Its 2.0L I4 makes 141 horsepower, and the CVT keeps it relaxed around town while returning 30 mpg combined. The Drive Mode Selector lets you pick Eco, Normal, or Sport, which sharpens throttle response a bit.
