2025 Nissan Kicks Play – Complete Review
The 2025 Nissan Kicks Play brings a new level of personality to the streets of Guelph. It feels agile, confident, and ready for whatever Ontario roads throw at it. From snowy mornings to sunny drives, this small SUV knows how to make each trip feel easy. The new design and advanced features give it a lively spirit without losing the practical side drivers love. It is built for daily commutes, weekend escapes, and everything in between.
Power That Surprises in a Small Package
Under the hood sits a 2.0-litre engine that delivers 141 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. It works with an advanced Xtronic CVT to make acceleration smooth and fuel use efficient. You can expect about 8.1 L/100 km in the city and 6.6 L/100 km on the highway, which is perfect for long drives or quick errands. The available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive adds grip when you need it, whether navigating snowy streets or taking a scenic route through the countryside. With multiple drive modes, including Sport, Eco, and available Snow Mode, the Kicks Play adapts to your mood and the conditions.
Comfort That Feels Like Home
Step inside and the Kicks Play greets you with a surprisingly spacious interior for a compact SUV. The Zero Gravity front seats and heated front seating make cold mornings much easier. It seats five comfortably, with room in the back for friends or family. The cargo area offers up to 1,699 litres of space when the 60/40-split rear seats are folded. That wider cargo opening makes loading larger items much easier, whether it’s sports gear or shopping finds.
Tech That Feels Instantly Familiar
The Kicks Play makes staying connected simple. Standard wireless smartphone integration keeps you free from tangled cords. Available dual 12.3-inch displays give you a sleek, modern dashboard that is easy to use. Wireless charging keeps your devices ready, and the optional Bose Personal Plus Audio System turns your favourite playlist into a concert on the move. It’s a tech setup that feels as natural as your phone, only bigger and more immersive.
Safety That Has Your Back
Every 2025 Kicks Play comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360. That means you get features like Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and more. Available ProPILOT Assist takes the stress out of highway drives, helping you stay centred in your lane and adjusting your speed as traffic changes. Intelligent Around View Monitor gives you a bird’s-eye view when parking, making tight spots in downtown Guelph much easier to manage. Also read about Nissan extended warranty plans just in case!
