Used 2025 Nissan Kicks for Sale nearCuster, SD

How much does the 2025 Nissan Kicks cost?

Prices have softened 4.92% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,348 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Nissan Kicks a good car?

The 2025 Nissan Kicks is a strong value play if you want a small crossover that feels more polished than its price suggests, though it still has a few compromises. It earns a user rating of 2/5 and an expert rating of 7.17/10.

The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Cost effectiveness.

It stands out as a fully redesigned subcompact crossover with stylish design, fuel efficiency, and strong standard features, and it is aimed especially at young and first-time shoppers. The trade-offs are clear: the base engine is underwhelming, there is no power seat adjustment, and wind buffeting can be uncomfortable.

That mix makes it appealing if you care most about value, everyday usability, and a more premium-feeling package than you might expect at this price. With 35.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market also gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Nissan Kicks reliable?

The 2025 Nissan Kicks is presented as a much improved redesign, with Nissan addressing many of the rough edges that held back the previous version. The updated powertrain is described as a significant improvement over the outgoing setup, and the cabin is better insulated to reduce road and wind noise.

The performance notes point to a steady, balanced driving feel, minimal body roll, and a CVT that maintains good fuel economy without being miserable about it. Nissan also includes three oil changes for the first two years or 24,000 miles through Nissan Maintenance Care, which helps reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the car still has a modest powertrain and some comfort compromises, so condition and maintenance history matter more than chasing a bargain alone.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Nissan Kicks?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are considering a higher-mileage example or one with optional equipment. Focus on cabin condition, seat comfort, and whether the vehicle has the features you want, since the trim spread changes the experience a lot.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base S is the most stripped-down version, with a 7.0-inch touchscreen, wired smartphone integration, a four-speaker stereo, and only manual seat adjustment. The SV adds a much more modern-feeling setup with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, and a six-speaker stereo, while the SR brings twin 12.3-inch displays and a more upscale presentation. If you want the best balance of equipment and value, the SV is the one to focus on.
• Powertrain: Every version uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a CVT, rated at 141 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel-drive models are rated at 28 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 31 mpg combined, while AWD models are rated at 27 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined.
• Safety package: Safety Shield 360 is standard and includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and automatic high beams. ProPilot Assist is standard on the SV and adds predictive forward collision warning, blind-spot intervention, lane-departure prevention, emergency lane-keep assist, intersection assist, traffic-sign recognition, and front parking sensors. The surround-view monitor is standard on the SV.
• Infotainment: The S gets a 7.0-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The SV upgrades to a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, and two USB-C ports. The SR adds twin 12.3-inch screens and wireless connectivity, with a Bose audio upgrade available through the Premium Package.
• Fuel efficiency: Front-wheel-drive models are rated at 28 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 31 mpg combined. AWD models are rated at 27 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined.

Which 2025 Nissan Kicks trim should I buy?

The 2025 Nissan Kicks is offered in 3 trim levels: S, SV, SR.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the entry point, and it keeps the Kicks affordable, but it is also the most basic version. You get the core redesign, standard safety equipment, and the 7.0-inch infotainment setup, but you give up the more modern screen layout and wireless convenience features found higher up. It makes sense if your priority is the lowest possible price.
• SV: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, a six-speaker stereo, ProPilot Assist, and the surround-view monitor. It gives you the biggest jump in everyday usability and tech without pushing the price as high as the SR.
• SR: This is the most upscale version, with twin 12.3-inch displays and the most premium presentation in the lineup. If you want the most advanced cabin experience and are willing to pay more for it, this is the trim to consider.

Safety Shield 360 is standard across the lineup, while ProPilot Assist and the surround-view monitor come standard on the SV.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Nissan Kicks?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 35.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,348 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.92% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,364, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Nissan Kicks's resale value?

The current average of $23,117 sits slightly below last year's $24,314.

That decline suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on trim, condition, mileage, and equipment rather than assuming the model will hold its price unchanged.

Because the Kicks is positioned as a value-focused crossover, well-kept examples with desirable features should be easier to move later than bare-bones versions. If you buy smart now, you improve your odds of recovering more of your purchase price down the road.

Is the 2025 Nissan Kicks safe?

The 2025 Nissan Kicks hasn’t yet been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Safety Shield 360 is standard and includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and automatic high beams. ProPilot Assist is standard on the SV and adds predictive forward collision warning, blind-spot intervention, lane-departure prevention, emergency lane-keep assist, intersection assist, traffic-sign recognition, and front parking sensors.

The surround-view monitor is also standard on the SV, which is a useful advantage if you want extra visibility in tight spaces. If you are shopping the base trim, note that you do not get the same standard driver-assistance depth as you do on the SV.

Should I buy a 2025 Nissan Kicks or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 35.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.92% compared with last year.
• The 2025 redesign brings a much better vehicle with more power, more sophistication, and a stronger value story.

The bottom line: If you want the most improved Kicks, the 2025 is the one to target because it delivers the redesign, better standard features, and a more polished driving experience. If your main goal is simply the lowest purchase price, a nearby year may still be worth considering, but the 2025 is the better all-around choice for shoppers who want the newer package.
