Under the hood is a 2.0L inline-4 and for the first time AWD gets power to the ground. On the inside you will be greeted by more passenger volume, (2) 12.3in information screens and panoramic sunroof. Is the 2025 Nissan Kicks SR the BEST new SUV to BUY?

    100% agreed. I'm looking at a 2024 Corolla cross hybrid right now and the interior has all the charm of a clinical morgue. And Fisher-Price simplicity but not in a good way. It's like the most basic and boring and functionless design I've ever seen in a vehicle. And to make it fully like a death related thing, you have yet another tombstone style - display that sticks up annoyingly rather than being inlaid like this. This is a million times nicer. The only thing I don't see addressed here, please tell me this thing has a brake hold function, and remote start in the fob not as a phone app! I completely disqualified anything Mazda makes because of the bullshit they pulled with remote start as a paid app

    I was at the New York car show on Saturday and was looking forward to seeing this. I was not disappointed Nissan I think has a home run with this one. I am a loyal Toyota owner… But lately Toyota has been annoying me and I would consider the Kicks… but for me, it is missing a power driver seat, rear seat, vents, and a power tailgate… nice to see the new tech Nissan put into this vehicle. My guess is a fully loaded SR all-wheel-drive will be around $30,000 - 32,000.

Imo, Nissan could keep the cvt in small cars like this and try to remove them out of their midsize sedans and they would be golden. It’s not like their cars are ugly it’s just the cvt that drives people away.

Very happy to see they added all-wheel drive, too. Since I think the Rogue Sport is gone, this was needed. Now if they could only do something about it only being available with the CVT. Can't wait to see you get this out on the road!

    The 2025 Next Generation Kicks is amazing vehicle to look at in general. But the roof colors red and silver is mismatched the overall vibe.:/

    Odd configuration to have the amount of tech it has with a pano roof but manual seats for the passenger. Curious to see the price of this

    It’s a redesign Nissan Sport so except to have similar 0-60 and MPG numbers Hopefully Nissan can get good crash ratings because rumors say it doesn’t have.
