With a striking new design, best-in-class versatility, and an array of advanced technologies, the 2025 KICKS sets a new benchmark in its segment, making every journey truly epic.

Launched at an exclusive event in Dubai, the regional debut of the KICKS vividly showcased its vibrant personality, perfectly capturing its dynamic appeal.

Powered by a 2.0-liter engine and paired with the latest Xtronic CVT, the KICKS delivers responsive performance and best-in-class fuel efficiency, offering a complete package for today’s modern drivers.

For the first time on the KICKS, ProPILOT joins an array of cutting-edge safety features, enhancing confidence on the road. Inside, the KICKS offers a more spacious and functional interior with premium touches like the Panoramic Sunroof and Zero Gravity™ seating for superior comfort. Advanced tech, including dual 12.3-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™, and a Bose® 10-speaker sound system, elevate connectivity and entertainment.

Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President, President – Middle East, KSA, CIS – Nissan, INFINITI, said: “The Nissan KICKS has always been a favorite in the Middle East, resonating with drivers who seek a blend of individuality, practicality, style, and cutting-edge features in a distinctively bold compact crossover. With the all-new KICKS, we’ve reimagined what this category can deliver—introducing more space, enhanced performance, and advanced connectivity to meet the evolving needs of today’s dynamic lifestyles. Customers are looking for a vehicle that aligns with their life—balancing functionality, comfort, and individuality—and the boldly styled KICKS delivers just that.”

Expressive Design Inspired by Athletic Sneaker Soles

The all-new 2025 Nissan KICKS makes a powerful statement with its progressive and dynamic styling, creating a bold and innovative look from every angle. The commanding front face features sleek, low-profile LED projector headlamps that improve nighttime visibility, complemented by LED daytime running lights that double as amber turn signal indicators. Available signature accent lights further enhance its distinctive appearance.

Longer, taller, and broader than its predecessor, the all-new KICKS makes a bold statement with 19-inch alloy wheels and intricate rocker panel designs inspired by athletic sneaker soles for added texture and visual interest. Those who wish to stand out further will appreciate the 15 exterior hues including six two-tone color options that are available.

The all-new KICKS is equally striking from behind, with a subtle roof spoiler, and LED taillights that divide the liftgate in two and wrap around into combination lights on the flared rear fenders.

More Spacious and Functional

The 2025 Nissan KICKS was developed to optimize interior room for passenger comfort and cargo space, while maintaining a compact exterior size that makes driving and parking in the city a breeze.

Inside, the KICKS impresses with unique interior trims that blend robust functionality with cocoon-like comfort. The Panoramic Sunroof offers additional light and airiness into the cabin, with a new design that intrudes less into headroom and reduces wind noise.

Adding to its premium appeal, drivers and passengers also benefit from a roomier cabin with increased shoulder room and knee room in both rows. As a first for KICKS, both rows of seats use Nissan’s Zero Gravity™ seating design, helping distribute weight and pressure across occupants’ bodies for increased comfort and reduced fatigue.

Innovative Technology and Improved Safety

The all-new Nissan KICKS offers an extensive array of innovative features. The dual 12.3-inch monolith display gives an advanced look and increased visibility with horizontal eye movement, with two view options: classic or enhanced displays. The displays thoughtfully crafted ensure improved visibility and hand reach for the touch screen.

Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ enable occupants to seamlessly connect their devices, while charging is made possible through the two USB Type-C ports provided within the cabin. Making journeys even more thrilling is a Bose® Personal Plus 10-speaker audio system that delivers crisp, lifelike sound throughout the cabin. Enhanced from the outgoing KICKS, the system adds headrest speakers for the passenger’s seat in addition to the driver’s seat.

Introducing a first for the Nissan KICKS on the safety front, drivers benefit from ProPILOT and a collection of active and passive safety features. These include Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Intervention, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Prevention, and High Beam Assist.

Powerful 2.0L Engine with Best-in-Class Fuel Economy

All KICKS grades employ a 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine rated for 142 horsepower and 190 Nm of torque, coupled to the latest generation of Nissan’s Xtronic CVT transmission. Together, the new KICKS delivers confident acceleration for highway passing, thanks to the responsive transmission and the engine’s strong low- and mid-range torque.

In addition to its dynamic performance, the all-new KICKS boasts a best-in-class fuel economy, achieved through innovative engineering that enhances both aerodynamics and engine efficiency. Features such as full flat undercovers optimize airflow, reducing drag and improving the fuel economy. Furthermore, cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) reduces combustion temperatures, promoting better fuel economy and further minimizing emissions.

The all-new KICKS is the second model introduced as part of The Arc, Nissan’s Global Business Plan, following the all-new Patrol, in the Middle East. With a total of five new models slated for launch in the region by Fiscal Year 2026, this strategic expansion underscores Nissan’s commitment to redefining the automotive landscape with forward-thinking vehicles designed to meet the needs of modern drivers.

The all-new 2025 Nissan KICKS is now available through Nissan’s partner network across the Middle East region, in four distinct grades (S, SV, SV+, and SL) each designed to cater to different lifestyles.
