Where the Kicks Stands Out
The 2025 Nissan Kicks shines with its impressive fuel efficiency, achieving 7.0 L/100km in the city versus the Kona’s 8.0 L/100km. Combined with its lighter chassis, the Kicks offers more nimble urban maneuverability — ideal for everyday commuters and city drivers. Inside, the Kicks offers best-in-class rear legroom and a more versatile cargo hold (915L vs. 723L), providing better practicality for small families or active lifestyles. The inclusion of Nissan’s Zero Gravity Seats ensures comfortable longer drives, something that remains unmatched by competitors.Tech-wise, the Kicks leads with NissanConnect® infotainment, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and an available Bose® Personal Plus sound system. Paired with the standard Safety Shield® 360, you’re getting the most comprehensive driver assist suite at a lower price point.From a value perspective, the Kicks gives more for less. According to JD Power, Nissan’s resale performance in the compact SUV class is among the best, making the Kicks a smarter long-term investment than the Kona.
