All-new 2025 Nissan Kicks named to Autotrader’s Best New Cars of 2025

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The list of awards received by the all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks continues to grow, with the crossover recently being named one of Autotrader’s Best New Cars of 2025.

The Best New Cars of 2025 list features 10 new or refreshed vehicles that offer significant value or are groundbreaking in their segment. Autotrader editors praised the new Kicks for its roomier interior, high level of standard safety features, availability of Intelligent All-Wheel Drive¹ and its distinctive new design.

“The Nissan Kicks is quietly one of the best bargains in small SUVs,” said Eric Brandt, editor, Autotrader. “The new generation has a bigger interior, available all-wheel drive and fun options like headrest speakers, and it still starts at under $25,000.”

The all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks makes a bold impression in the compact crossover segment with unexpected levels of available features, a fresh appearance and enhanced capability. It stands out with a striking new design inspired by high-end sneakers, an available panoramic sunroof, available 19-inch wheels and available two-tone paint options.

Kicks provides capability for city streets and beyond with best-in-class standard ground clearance² and best-in-class available cargo space³. All grades feature the reassurance of standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360⁴ and Intelligent Cruise Control⁵, while an available Bose® sound system provides a more immersive listening experience for all on board.

The 2025 Nissan Kicks is on sale now with Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP) starting at $21,830⁶, less than a $500 increase over the previous-generation model. It is the most affordable AWD SUV in America⁷, with Kicks S AWD priced from just $23,330 MSRP.
