Nissan deserves credit here for taking chances on the styling and creating a fantastic looking vehicle, both inside and out. This thing will be a hit for them.

Not gonna lie, this new design looks sharp.

Too bad it’s underpowered and slow. According to Alex on Autos, this new 2025 Kicks SR AWD will actually be slower than the old Kicks due to the extra 400-500 pounds of weight. This is despite the 19 extra horsepower. Expect a zero to 60 of 12-13 seconds. Also with the top SR Kicks trim now touching 30k most likely, it’s just not an affordable city car anymore, I’d rather buy a base Rogue or Forester or CX-5

I had a 2021 Kicks as a rental for a week a few years ago and thought it to be a kind of fun good little commuter. This new version is striking comparatively, and with additional power, all-wheel drive, upgraded features abound is a definite player in the segment.

Very nice design. If they redesign the Pathfinder this way, I may have to go check it out for sure. I like the red detailing around the gear shift

Couldn’t stop looking at the Millenium Jade GT-R 😍

i like the regular gear shifter - much better than all these push button eshifters. also, the design is nice, bold both on the exterior and interior. love the dual screens.

Sharp design 😊 love this Nissan😊

Looks soooo much better in and out . Needs a wing , like the juke had , but nice . 👍🏽

I love this color combo!

Thanks for the great video, hit all the points and can confirm the gas tank location. Love the design, hate they put the gas on the passenger side. Not sure why they changed it from last model. 🤷‍♂️👎 Keep up the great work! 👍✊

A Baby Rogue! Love it!

Nice video! I'll add that the the Kicks is actually a replacement for the Juke; The Note was just pulled on it's own basis, but yes it can serve as a alternative for the Note as well.

I like it with all honesty!, not sure about quality but looks nice in and out!

Thanks for the review, good coverage as always. Wish Nissan gets over this low hp game. As nice as this second gen looks, no way they should officially release this thing with less than 200 hp. I hope they're listening and work that problem out! 200 hp or better, please!

Nice looking nissan kicks.👍

Very well executed design.

Absolutely love the design reminds me of some 90’s concepts. Really hope they come out with a hybrid.

Seems like a good competitor!

If this is the kicks, I cannot wait to see the next Sentra!

I can’t wait !!!🎉

It’s definitely a better car than the outgoing model, however, I’m sure that means it will cost significantly more. Wasn’t the point of the kicks to be an affordable vehicle?

I’m sold on this.. gonna book it as soon as bookings open in India

Still waiting for a Frontier based XTerra...

I would have never bought the current Nissan Kicks, I thought it was just too underpowered and cramped for the price, but I'm impressed with this new model and I will definitely check it out once it hits dealership lots. I rented a 2024 Nissan Sentra recently while on vacation and I was surprised at how smooth and responsive it was despite the slightly underpowered hp and torque on paper, great for a daily driver. The Kicks was near the bottom of the segment sales charts in 2023, hopefully this new model will help Nissan gain in the ranks

Nissan's interior design is improving and gets me excited about what they'll do to the next Altima.

Little touches like having the light source on both the left AND the right in the trunk is so important to real world ownership and costs practically nothing. Nissan paying attention to these things is a good sign.

giving me volvo/ polestar vibes in the rear. I really like all of it.

Amazing! I had the old Kicks for a rental for a week and hated it. Under powered and small. Really odd thing was I had the base model with hubcaps yet it had automatic high beams which took forever to change from low to high.

Well, at least it looks original, I always find it exciting to see new cars on the road.

Design beautiful, ficou muito bonito

The 2025 Next-Generation Kicks is amazing crossover to look and brilliant.:)

Great review…The all wheel drive is a great option.. Manufacturers need to nix roof top rails and roof windows. How often do you see people carrying cargo on top of their cars? Not too often. The options for this car should include a power drivers seat and power assisted rear door. My opinion of course…Peace..

Looks good

I think Nissan really elevated the Kicks to a higher quality. I’m not much of a Nissan fan but I really hope that this Kicks will do well.

The V motion is still in the grill. It’s just not bold like it has been for years. It starts at where the hood budge stops on both ends

5:10 oh this is unfortunate, I was hoping it had a floating center console like the Nissan Rogue. The empty space above the floating part is more useful than you would at first think, I use it religiously and its hard to live without once you have it.

Looks great and packs a lot of value. The only downside is the engine and cvt for the class of vehicle in general seems to have the same issue. Chose a Civic hatchback over the HRV because its slug. Corolla Cross and base Crosstrek is the same

He is incorrect. The Kicks replaced the Juke, not the Versa.

Cvt? Looks great

Nice design very cool. But I don't want to be a Guinea pig. Nice review sofyan!

All mini suv s have a cvt and nissans now work fine.good looking in and out.we will see how it drives.

Would’ve been cool it it had a turbo version

Glad the kicks gains Propilot!

Great styling with the refresh Kicks, however why does Nissan continue with A CVT when all I hear are so many issues with it..

I believe that it shares its platform with the new Mitsubishi Outlander Sport (known as the Mitsubishi Xforce in Asia).

Nissan did a very good job with this redesign. This will sell well but will sell helluva lot better if an actual automatic transmission was put in there instead of the CVT but nobody knows since it hasn’t been put to the test on actual roads. We’ll know more by the summer, and wait for a while as the first models usually have glitches.

Huge improvement and new they had to add AWD in order to survive. I’d buy the one if they had a hybrid version.

I want one.

Very cool. Except for the CVT. Though now a days, it's par for the course.

This essentially replaces the Rogue Sport. At least now it's a legitimate crossover with available AWD.

Any chance of staying close to the current price for 2025 version?

There's Kicks with E-Power hybrid in other markets. Quite efficient and the best part: No transmission! Just direct electric driven.

Love the looks inside and outside but I could never drive a non-turbo again. I had a Sportage for 4 months and traded it in on a Stelvio and swallowed the big loss on trade-in.

Wish it was a hybrid.

If it gets E power ( and most likely it will) then now it's kicking above it's price point. Loved the driving dynamics of kicks e power.

Not sure why they dont introduce it in the US. It will especially be appealing to people who still think Nissan's CVTs are unreliable. Maybe its because it might cause the Note to lose market share?

Big cargo area. Wow.

Having the AWD would stop me from buying. I don't want to pay an extra $ amount for something I do not want. These are supposed to be affordable and with the AWD an option you can expect many dealers will equip the Kicks with it. Very little benefit to have AWD on FWD vehicle.

So the boxy look is back. It's back to the Cube with a modern touch.

very nice

The old Kicks has 25 cubic feat rear storage. This has either 30 or 24 (AWD) cubic feat. Why would you say twice as much storage in the redesign? Wrong.

I guess this is why they discontinued the Rogue Sport in the US. Unless they also made it larger I imagine it would have been pretty similar to this.

Legit surprised by that amount of Kick sales. I very rarely see any here in NYC. I still wouldn't choose it over the Mazda options however. Mainly due to the inferior engine & transmission.

Hybrid would be an awesome

The additional power is nice but performance will probably be close to the current gen Kicks since the new gen can gain up to 400 pounds over the previous. Plus with AWD you will see increased powertrain loss.
