Choosing the right crossover is exciting, but it can also be a little tricky. The 2025 Nissan Kicks and the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross both have a lot to offer. In comparison, one feels more ready for everyday Canadian life. Let’s take a closer look at both and see which one fits your needs best.
Smooth Power and Everyday Efficiency

The 2025 Nissan Kicks runs on a 2.0-litre Direct Injection Gasoline engine with 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. It is light on fuel too, with 7.4 L/100 km combined. In the city, you can expect around 8.1 L/100 km and on the highway about 6.6 L/100 km. The Corolla Cross, in contrast, has a 2.0-litre Dynamic Force engine with 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft. While it is stronger on paper, its combined fuel rating is also 7.4 L/100 km. On the other hand, the Kicks feels lighter and easier to handle in tight streets or busy traffic. For most drivers, this means the Nissan gives you the right balance of power and efficiency.
Space That Fits Your Lifestyle
The Nissan Kicks seats five people and offers 3,556.6 litres of passenger space. Fold the rear seats and you get up to 1,699.6 litres of cargo room. This is perfect for hockey bags, camping gear, or groceries for a big family. The Corolla Cross, on the contrary, offers only 680 litres of cargo space. Even with its 680 kg towing capacity, it cannot match the roomy feel of the Kicks. In comparison, the Nissan simply gives you more space for what matters in daily life.
Technology That Keeps You Connected

Inside the Kicks, you can enjoy an available 12.3-inch display that feels sharp and modern. Even the standard setup works well with four speakers, but the available Bose Personal Plus system adds 10 speakers, including unique headrest speakers for the driver and passenger.
The Corolla Cross offers an 8.0-inch screen with a simpler audio setup. On the other hand, the Nissan’s larger display, richer sound, and advanced connectivity make it easier and more fun to use. In comparison, it feels more modern and engaging for daily drives.
Comfort and Features That Matter
The Kicks gives you heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated windows, and a front wiper de-icer for snowy mornings. Cloth seat trim feels soft yet durable. You also have keyless entry and available push-button start. The Corolla Cross offers some of these features too, but in contrast, not all are standard. On the other hand, the Kicks brings them to you right from the start, making winter driving in Ontario much more comfortable.
