2025 Nissan Kicks named to 2025 Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX List

The all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks has been racking up awards and honors since it debuted in the fall of 2024, and this month it has made Wards’ 10 Best Interiors and UX list for 2025, beating out every other car in its class. As one of the few vehicles that start under $25,000, which include the Versa and Sentra, the Kicks has been heralded for its upmarket design and features without compromising its value. Nissan also gives Kicks owners free regularly scheduled maintenance for the first two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Meet The All-New Kicks The brand-new Kicks is available in three trim levels: S, SV, and SR. All models are powered by a 2.0-liter inline-4 engine with 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque combined with an Xtronic CVT. Front-wheel drive is standard. The Kicks can also be optioned with all-wheel drive, a rarity for a vehicle of this price range. Pricing starts from $21,830 for the base S model and goes up to $27,680 for the Kicks SR AWD trim. Regardless of trim level, all-wheel drive can be optioned.
