Why the 2025 Nissan Kicks Could Be the Best Compact SUV in 2025

The 2025 Kicks breaks the mold with a bold, refreshing approach to interior design, combined with modern technology and practical suburban functionality.

Eye-Catching Color Combinations

It features bold accent colors like deep red paired with black trim, giving the cabin a unique, energetic feel. This isn’t just about looks—it’s about creating an inviting atmosphere that makes every trip more enjoyable.

Premium Comfort with Zero Gravity Seats

Nissan’s signature Zero Gravity seats help reduce driver fatigue and improve posture. Whether you're heading out on a long commute or driving the kids to soccer practice, these seats provide lasting comfort.

Smart Technology That Simplifies Your Drive

The 2025 Kicks delivers more than a stylish interior—it’s packed with technology that feels intuitive and useful.

Dual Digital Displays and Android Automotive

The dashboard features dual high-resolution screens, including a touchscreen powered by Android Automotive OS. That means integrated Google Maps, Google Assistant, and access to the Google Play Store—all without needing your phone.

Premium Audio Experience

An available Bose Personal Plus audio system includes 10 speakers, with two placed right into the driver’s headrest for a surround sound-like experience. Whether you’re listening to a podcast or streaming your favorite playlist, the sound quality is impressive.

To experience this setup firsthand, you can book a test drive with Rendez-Vous Nissan and see why Wards was impressed.
