The second-generation 2025 Nissan Kicks is an athletic and agile subcompact crossover SUV that is perfectly suited to every lifestyle. This exceptionally eco-friendly model has a bold redesign with head-turning exterior colors and advanced high-tech features onboard. Check out the highlights of this model before you visit your Nissan dealer. 1. Safety Shield 360 The Kicks covers your on-road safety with the comprehensive Safety Shield 360 system, a suite of advanced safety and driver assistance technologies to reduce the likelihood of an accident. The Automatic Emergency Braking system can engage hard braking power when an imminent collision with another vehicle or pedestrian is detected, while Lane Departure Warning tracks lane markers to prevent lane drifting without the use of a turn signal. Other core features of this 360-degree safety system are Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Rear Automatic Braking. When a vehicle enters your blind spot on either side of your rear bumper, the system will alert you so you know to stay in your lane until the vehicle passes. When the SUV is in reverse, rear-facing sensors can spot cross traffic to emit an alert or activate the emergency brakes to avoid a rear-end collision. more 2. Wireless Bluetooth Wireless smartphone connectivity for the Kicks is standard with Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth connectivity works by linking your smartphone to your central computer so you can access Bluetooth-connected apps for streaming. With Bluetooth connectivity, you can also access your contact list to send hands-free text messages or answer calls while you're driving. Along with wireless Bluetooth connectivity, upper Kicks models also integrate with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Integration with these smartphone apps mirrors your favorite apps for navigation, podcasts, music streaming, and more on the NissanConnect central display. Kicks models with smartphone-linked integration also have an upgraded 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen. 3. Nissan Intelligent Key The Kicks comes with the Nissan Intelligent Key, an advanced keyless entry system with a proximity sensor that unlocks vehicle doors as you approach the SUV. The proximity key also allows the front doors to be unlocked by touching a sensor on the door handle for added security. Along with keyless vehicle entry, this Intelligent Key system also enables keyless ignition with a push-button start system. With the Intelligent Key, the push-button ignition will not work unless your unique key fob is present. From your daily commute to weekend getaways, the Kicks has all the features you need to maximize your safety and convenience on the road, such as wireless smartphone connectivity and comprehensive driver assistance technology.

Having this visual helps you maneuver around tight obstacles and navigate challenging terrain. Standard ProPILOT Assist 1.0 offers proactive, responsive, hands-on driver assistance. It helps your Murano stay centered in its lane and maintain a preset distance from the car in front.
