The 2025 edition of this compact sedan brings subtle but welcome changes that sharpen its appeal for drivers seeking comfort, reliability, and style—all without breaking the budget. A new front fascia and updated grille lead the list of visual tweaks, giving the car a cleaner, more mature look. Paired with fresh wheel designs and colour options, it’s a low-key update that still manages to feel more refined.
Beyond design, the most notable mechanical upgrade for 2025 is the enhanced continuously variable transmission (CVT). This version feels smoother under acceleration and quieter at higher speeds—an improvement that drivers will appreciate whether commuting or cruising.
Upgraded Tech Where It Matters
Inside, the dashboard now features improved materials and an updated infotainment layout. The 7.0-inch touchscreen remains standard, but higher trims offer an 8.0-inch version with crisper graphics and more responsive software. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the lineup, and USB-C charging ports have been added to accommodate newer devices.
Although the overall cabin design hasn't been fully reimagined, the inclusion of available remote engine start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an upgraded digital driver display on higher trims helps this model align with modern expectations. Audio lovers can opt for the available Bose premium sound system, which delivers clean, immersive playback even on noisy roads.
Streamlined Exterior with Urban Personality
This compact sedan continues to carry a strong presence in its segment. The reshaped V-motion grille adds a slightly sportier character, while slimmer headlights and refined bumper accents elevate the sedan’s overall profile. The body lines remain smooth and aerodynamic, striking a solid balance between conservative and athletic styling.
LED lighting and new wheel options—especially on upper trims—add just enough attitude to make this car stand out from competitors without going overboard. It's a sensible and stylish option that fits anywhere, from suburban drives to downtown parking spots.
Cabin Comfort for Daily Drives
Inside, you’ll find a surprisingly spacious layout for a compact sedan. The Zero Gravity seats continue to provide reliable support for longer journeys, while rear-seat space is generous enough for adult passengers. The trunk is deep and wide, offering 405 litres of cargo space—ideal for grocery runs or road trip luggage.
Fit and finish have been subtly improved for 2025, especially with new interior accent choices and upgraded soft-touch materials. The layout remains user-friendly and uncluttered, offering solid visibility and intuitive controls that don’t distract from the road.
Balanced Performance with Everyday Efficiency
Under the hood, this model continues to use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, producing 146 lb-ft of torque and 149 horsepower. While not built for aggressive speed, it's well-matched to the improved CVT, which now feels more natural in its power delivery and more responsive off the line.
Fuel economy remains one of the car’s standout features, delivering an estimated 6.0–6.5 L/100 km on the highway. That makes it a smart pick for drivers focused on low-cost commuting or long-term savings at the pump. And with standard front-wheel drive and a lightweight frame, the vehicle feels nimble and easy to manoeuvre, especially in city driving.
Confidence Built-In: Safety Features That Deliver
This compact sedan continues to score well in safety, with the 2022–2024 versions earning strong reviews for collision performance and standard driver aids. For 2025, Nissan Safety Shield 360 remains standard across all trims. That includes smart emergency braking with pedestrian detection, hidden spot warning, lane departure alert, and rear cross-traffic alert.
Upper trims add intelligent cruise control and rear sonar, further enhancing awareness during tight manoeuvres and long highway trips. With its track record and ongoing improvements, this model continues to offer one of the most comprehensive safety packages in its class.
