With the new-for-2025 Kicks, Nissan isn’t just pushing the model up the ladder. Like most companies, it’s asking if you wouldn’t mind going ahead and doing the job of two people now that one has stepped out the door.
Since the Qashqai Rogue Sport has shuffled off this mortal coil, the Kicks has been called upon to step into the now slightly-more-vast white space between it and the Rogue. This explains why the Kicks is larger and more powerful than last year, plus now being offered with the option of all-wheel drive.
Of course, numerous front-wheel drive variants are still on tap, giving an option to customers who are content with two driven wheels – not to mention an attractive price point with which to emblazon on marketing materials. In fact, the base front-drive Kicks S bears an MSRP of just $21,830 plus fees and taxes, making it affordable to wide swaths of new car shoppers. Adding all-wheel drive to this trim is a $1,500 proposition.
Meanwhile, the SV trim, generally the volume leader in Nissan showrooms thanks to niceties like a 12.3-inch touchscreen instead of the base 7.0-inch display, starts at $23,680 for a front-driver but Nissan dings customers $1,650 for all-wheel drive in this variant. Some pencil-necked accountant surely did the math on take rate and figured out they could squeeze an extra $150 per sale here; given the SV is usually the most popularly stocked trim, they’re probably right. Finally, the Kicks SR will be $26,180 and, wouldn’t ya know it, the surcharge for all-wheel drive drops once again to $1,500.
As a reminder, the old Kicks started at $21,340 for an S, $23,200 for an SV, and $23,900 for an SR. In addition to being smaller, it was only powered by a 1.6L four-banger making 122 horsepower. The new effort has a 2.0L four with 141 ponies. Both the S and SV bear a price hike of around 500 bucks each, remarkable given the myriad improvements especially on the SV since it ditches the poverty-spec 7.0-inch screen. We’ll let you decide if an extra $2,280 is worth it for this year’s SR.

- Funky D I drove a 2012 Eos Executive for 5 years (bought in 2017 at 78k) and ran until 112k, at which time I handed it down to my youngest son. They are fun rides, and the 2.0 TSi has enough zip to make it useful. The top mechanism has been flawless, as long as it gets an annual lubrication and alignment. The ones with the DSG are reliable, again as long as maintenance is performed. They were way overpriced as new and depreciated rapidly, but seemed to have bottomed out. My example still has a book value of $6500~$7000.
