Yahoo Autos 7 Cool Easter Eggs and Design Details on the 2025 Nissan Kicks
The new 2025 Nissan Kicks is different in a big way, with a new powertrain, newly available all-wheel drive, and a larger footprint. But it's more interesting in smaller ways too, as the designers slipped in plenty of details and easter eggs that make the Kicks a bit more interesting to look at than your average subcompact SUV.
Hidden C-Pillar Badge
You'll have to look closely to spot this cool-looking exposed "KICKS" script in the C-pillar aft of the rear quarter windows. The cutout is etched into the tinted glass to expose a body panel behind it, so it shows up in whatever body color you opt for on your Kicks.
Shoe-Inspired Cladding
We're used to seeing black plastic body cladding on all manner of crossovers and SUVs, but the Kicks' cladding has a bit more visual interest. Nissan says this texture on the side skirts is meant to look like a sneaker.
Headrest Speakers
The optional 10-speaker Bose audio system includes headrest-mounted speakers for both the driver and passenger. The previous Kicks had a similar system, but the headrest speakers were only for the driver's seat.
Headlight Logo
This small Nissan logo is embossed in the headlights
Mirror Logo
Lest you forget which model you're driving, this emblem on the plastic molding for the side mirrors will remind you.
Front "Signature" Lights
While all Kicks models have shiny chrome trim on the lower grille slats, only the SR comes with these six additional LED accent light strips.
Zero-Gravity Rear Seats
Nissan previously only touted its "Zero Gravity" seats in the front, but now the outboard rear seats feature this setup. This special cushioning and seat design is supposed to help with posture and comfort.
