The 2025 Nissan Kicks arrives with meaningful updates that build on its past success. In recent years, the Kicks has earned praise and awards—most notably being named to the 2025 Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX list—a recognition of its smart cabin design and user experience. With the 2025 model, Nissan introduces for Canada a stronger engine, available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, and a redesigned look from 2024. These changes make the new Kicks more capable in snow or gravel while still holding true to its roots as a city-friendly crossover. At South Trail Nissan in Calgary, we see how these upgrades help drivers feel more confident on both urban streets and Alberta roads beyond the city.
Power That’s More Ready
The 2025 Kicks uses a 2.0-litre Direct Injection Gasoline 4-cylinder engine. It makes 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with the Xtronic CVT transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, while Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is now available, improving traction when roads are slippery. The model also includes Vehicle Dynamic Control with traction control, Hill Start Assist. These features help the vehicle manage corners, snow, and wet surfaces more confidently. In comparison to its earlier generation, the boost in power and the availability of AWD make the 2025 model more versatile without losing its efficient character.
Cargo Space for Daily Use
Inside, the Kicks seats five people across two rows. The rear seats fold down to expand the cargo area. Nissan’s Canadian site does not list a precise cargo capacity in litres for every configuration, though it refers to a roomy and flexible cargo layout in trims like Play. The redesign has produced more usable space and a wider cargo opening. Also, a luggage board gives you two levels in the trunk so items slide more easily or stack better. The materials are durable and easy to clean. For many Calgary drivers, this setup handles grocery trips, weekend gear, or a few bigger items well—even in winter when cargo holds become essential.
Inside Comfort & Smarter Tech
The Kicks now offers a 12.3-inch NissanConnect display with multi-touch control. This display replaces older, smaller screens and gives a sharp, modern interface. The tech supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so your phone integrates seamlessly. Other features include standard connectivity, ambient lighting in higher trims, heated front seats in colder conditions, heated windows and mirrors, keyless entry with push-button start, fog lights, and power door locks. In upper trims, you may find more deluxe touches like ambient lighting or premium finishes. In comparison to older Kicks models, this interior feels more polished and practical, with tech that feels built rather than bolted on.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Nissan includes its full Safety Shield 360 suite in the 2025 Kicks. That gives you automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, and high beam assist. Some higher trims or optional packages may add driver assistance features like steering support, intelligent cruise control, or forward collision mitigation enhancements. These systems help drivers maintain control and peace of mind when traffic is heavy or roads are unpredictable. For a small crossover, the level of driver assistance in the Kicks now compares well to more expensive models.
