The Nissan Kicks is fully redesigned for 2025.
The Kicks is in competition with other compact crossovers such as the ford Ecosport, Hyundai Kona, Kia Soul, Mazda CX-30, and Chevrolet Trax. However, the Nissan Kicks manages to undercut all vehicles in price making it a pretty good deal. In addition, the Kicks' styling manages to be both somehow more fun and more mature than most of its competitors, with Nissan managing to make the Kicks look just a little bit more substantial than most other compact crossovers.
