2025 Nissan Kicks SR Premium Walkaround & Driving Review

September 13th, 2024 by

The 2025 Nissan Kicks is here, and it’s better than ever with a fresh redesign, packed with new features to elevate your driving experience. At Walser Nissan Burnsville, we’re excited to introduce this versatile, stylish, and affordable compact crossover to our customers, especially those navigating Minnesota’s tough winter conditions. The all-new Kicks offers a blend of modern design, cutting-edge technology, and practicality that makes it perfect for drivers in the Twin Cities metro area.

Newly Redesigned Exterior

The 2025 Nissan Kicks has undergone a complete redesign, giving it a more dynamic and futuristic look while staying true to its roots as a practical compact SUV. For 2025, the Kicks adopts styling cues from Nissan’s electric vehicle lineup, giving it a sleeker, more aerodynamic appearance. But don’t worry, it’s still powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, providing the perfect balance of power and fuel efficiency.

With three available trims—S, SV, and SR—the 2025 Kicks offers something for every driver. The SR trim comes with striking 19-inch wheels, a sportier design, and several premium features, including LED headlights and a 360-degree camera system. These design touches, paired with increased ground clearance, make the Kicks a great option for navigating both urban streets and the snowy roads of Minnesota.

The two-tone exterior color options, available on higher trims, add an extra layer of sophistication to the Kicks’ bold design. Whether you’re cruising through Burnsville or taking a weekend trip to the cabin, the 2025 Kicks is sure to turn heads.

Intelligent All-Wheel Drive Capability: A Minnesota Must-Have

For the first time ever, the 2025 Nissan Kicks is available with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. This feature is a game-changer for Minnesota drivers who need extra traction during snowy winters. The Kicks’ intelligent AWD system automatically switches between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, ensuring optimal performance based on road conditions.

Paired with over an inch of additional ground clearance, the Kicks is better equipped than ever to handle icy roads, snowy driveways, or even dirt paths up north. Plus, the new Snow Mode further enhances its ability to navigate treacherous winter conditions, giving you more confidence behind the wheel.

At Walser Nissan Burnsville, we know how important AWD is for Minnesota drivers, and the 2025 Kicks delivers exactly what you need to stay safe and in control during the winter months.

Interior Comfort and High-Tech Features

Step inside the 2025 Nissan Kicks, and you’ll find a cabin that’s both comfortable and high-tech, with features designed to make every drive more enjoyable. In the SR trim, you’ll enjoy Nissan’s Zero Gravity seats, which provide excellent support, especially on long drives. Both the driver and passenger seats are heated—an absolute necessity during cold Minnesota winters. The heated steering wheel is another thoughtful feature that ensures you stay warm, even on the chilliest days.

The Kicks also comes with a modern infotainment system that’s easy to use and responsive. The SR trim includes dual 12.3-inch digital displays, which allow you to control everything from your navigation to your music with ease. And with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, you can seamlessly connect your phone for hands-free texting, calls, and access to your favorite apps. The available wireless charging pad ensures that you’re always powered up and ready to go.

The available panoramic sunroof is another premium touch that makes the interior feel more spacious and airy, while the optional 10-speaker Bose sound system, with speakers built into the headrests, provides an immersive audio experience that will make your daily commute or road trip even more enjoyable.

Nissan Safety Shield 360: Advanced Protection for Every Drive

Safety is a top priority for the 2025 Nissan Kicks, and with Nissan Safety Shield 360, you’re well-protected on every journey. This suite of advanced driver-assist features includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane departure warning. The SR trim also adds Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist, which takes safety to the next level with adaptive cruise control, helping you maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, even in stop-and-go traffic.

For Minnesota drivers who spend a lot of time on highways or rural roads, ProPILOT Assist is a valuable tool that makes long drives less stressful. Whether you’re navigating busy city streets or taking a road trip up north, the 2025 Kicks provides peace of mind with its comprehensive safety features.

Practicality Meets Affordability

One of the key reasons drivers love the Nissan Kicks is its practicality, and the 2025 model continues that tradition. The Kicks offers ample cargo space, with a 60/40 split rear seat design that allows you to easily expand the storage area. Whether you’re running errands around Burnsville or loading up for a weekend getaway, the Kicks provides the versatility you need. There’s even underfloor storage in the cargo area for keeping smaller items secure and out of sight.

Despite all of these premium features, the 2025 Nissan Kicks remains highly affordable. The base model starts in the low $20,000 range, and even the fully-loaded SR trim is priced around $31,000—well below the average price of new vehicles on the market today. At Walser Nissan Burnsville, we’re proud to offer such an incredible value to our customers.
