How much does the 2025 Nissan Kicks cost?

Prices have softened 4.69% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

If you find a listing below $22,363.97, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2025 Nissan Kicks a good car?

With a 2/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating, the 2025 Nissan Kicks looks strongest when you care most about value and everyday usefulness.

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

It is fully redesigned for 2025, and the overview points to a more stylish, more polished subcompact crossover that still keeps its accessible entry-level price. The expert notes back that up with praise for its fantastic value, great standard features, and premium options, while also showing that Nissan aimed this one at young and first-time shoppers.

The trade-offs are real: the base engine is underwhelming, there is no power seat adjustment, and wind buffeting can be annoying. Even so, the Kicks’ agreeable personality and strong equipment mix make it a compelling fit if you want a budget-friendly crossover that feels more distinctive than most.

33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you a decent chance to find a competitive offer.

Is the 2025 Nissan Kicks reliable?

The 2025 Nissan Kicks is presented as a more refined version of the model, with the redesign aimed at improving the driving experience without giving up its value-first appeal.

The expert notes say the previous Kicks was loud, harsh, and plagued by cabin noise and an uncooperative transmission, while this version corrects those issues to a significant degree. The new 2.0-liter engine and CVT are described as a vast improvement, and the cabin gets much better noise control thanks to added insulation.

That said, the engine is still modest in output, and the Kicks can be slow to accelerate at times, especially when passing at higher elevations. Nissan also adds a maintenance perk for the first two years or 24,000 miles, which helps reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a budget-friendly crossover with a lot of standard equipment can still become expensive if you buy one that has been neglected or driven hard.

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 added equipment. Focus on cabin condition, tire wear, and whether the vehicle’s features work as expected, since this model leans heavily on value and technology to justify itself.

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 a single USB-A port. The SV adds a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, a six-speaker stereo, and two USB-C ports, while the SR brings twin 12.3-inch displays and more upscale tech. If you want the best balance of equipment and price, the SV is the trim that stands out most clearly.
• Powertrain: Every version uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a CVT, rated at 141 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. The setup is much improved over the previous generation, and the AWD system adds torque vectoring and a Snow mode on AWD versions.
• 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 comes 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 base setup uses 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 a six-speaker stereo. The SR adds dual 12.3-inch screens and can be paired with a Bose system 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 price low while still giving you the redesigned Kicks experience, standard safety tech, and the new 2.0-liter engine. It makes sense if you want the cheapest way into the model, but the basic infotainment and simpler cabin equipment make it the least appealing choice if you plan to keep the vehicle for a while.
• SV: This is the best-value trim. It adds the 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, wireless charging, a better stereo, more USB-C ports, ProPilot Assist, and the surround-view monitor. If you want the strongest mix of price, tech, and everyday usefulness, this is the one to target.
• SR: This is the most upscale version, with twin 12.3-inch displays and the option to add the Premium Package for heated front seats, a panoramic moonroof, and, on the SV, the Bose audio system with headrest speakers. It suits you best if you want the most polished Kicks and are willing to pay for it.

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 know what trim and price you want.

• Deal availability: 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,383 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.69% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,363.97, 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 $23,218 sits slightly below last year's $24,362.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can work in your favor if you are buying now. For a future seller, it means the Kicks is not showing strong upward momentum at the moment, so resale value may depend more on condition, mileage, and trim than on broad market appreciation.

If you own one for a few years, keeping it clean, well-maintained, and lightly worn should matter more than usual. A well-equipped trim may also hold up better than a bare-bones version because shoppers in this segment often want the tech and safety upgrades.

Is the 2025 Nissan Kicks safe?

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

The 2025 Nissan Kicks comes standard with a rearview camera and Safety Shield 360, which 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 comes 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 upgrade if you want more visibility in tight spaces.

The Kicks has not yet been crash-tested by NHTSA or IIHS, so you should lean on its standard safety equipment and trim-level differences when you shop. If safety tech matters most, the SV is the trim that gives you the most meaningful upgrade.

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:

• 33.4% 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 4.69% compared with last year.
• The redesign brings a much better driving experience, stronger standard features, and a more polished overall package.

The bottom line: If you want the best version of the Kicks formula, the 2025 model is the one to prioritize because it is the redesigned, better-equipped, and more refined choice. If your main goal is to spend as little as possible, a nearby older year may still make sense, but you give up the major improvements that make this one stand out.
