Energetic Engine Power

First thing’s first, let’s check out the engine specs of the 2025 Nissan Kicks. When you take a look at the numbers, it’s no mystery where the Kicks got its name! We can immediately see that its peppy 2.0 L 4-Cylinder steps things up with 141 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque, and engages Xtronic continuously-variable transmission to keep your drive engaging. Its fuel economy isn’t bad either, despite its determined performance, spending only 6.6 L per 100km of highway.

The 2025 Nissan Kicks Knows its Worth

Specs aren’t worth much if a vehicle doesn’t know its own power; fortunately, the 2025 Nissan Kicks knows exactly what it’s capable of, and makes the most of it with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive that automatically shifts your traction in response to changing road conditions. To help you keep control on Gatineau’s roads, the 2025 Kicks also furnishes you with adjustable performance settings in the form of selectable drive modes, including Standard, Eco, Sport, and available Snow for slippery winter driving.

Tech That Keeps You in Control
