The 2025 Nissan Kicks Just Made Autotrader’s “Best New Cars” List — And We’re Not Surprised

Let’s just say it: the all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks has officially leveled up — and the editors at Autotrader agree. This compact crossover just landed a coveted spot on Autotrader’s Best New Cars of 2025, and it’s giving “budget-friendly beast” energy in all the right ways.

And if you’re hunting for the best new small SUV in Bennington, Vermont, congrats — you’ve just found it.

A Little Kicks, a Lot of Wow

You know how some cars walk into a room (er, parking lot) and immediately make a statement? That’s the 2025 Nissan Kicks. It’s been redesigned from the ground up with an interior big enough to stretch out in, a safety suite that rivals luxury brands, and a style inspired by high-end sneakers. Yes, really. This thing has more swagger than a Bennington brunch crowd on a Sunday morning.

The new Kicks AWD also sports:

• Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (take that, Vermont winters)
  
• Best-in-class ground clearance (hello, dirt roads)
  
• Best-in-class cargo space (because you always bring more than you planned)
  
• And fun, extra-credit features like headrest speakers and a Bose® sound system that absolutely slaps
  

Affordability with an Attitude

Here’s the kicker (pun very much intended): the 2025 Nissan Kicks starts at just $21,830 MSRP. Even the AWD model — the most affordable all-wheel-drive SUV in America — starts at just $23,330 MSRP. That’s less than some folks spend on coffee in a year. You’re not just getting a car. You’re getting bold design, best-in-class features, and Nissan’s signature reliability for way less than you’d expect.

As Autotrader put it: “Quietly one of the best bargains in small SUVs.” We’d add: “Loudly one of the smartest buys in Bennington.”

Built for Bennington (and Beyond)

Let’s be honest — Vermont roads don’t mess around. From muddy backroads in Manchester to snow-packed drives up Mount Anthony, your car needs more than just good looks. The 2025 Kicks brings real-world utility with features like Nissan Safety Shield® 360, Intelligent Cruise Control, and available 19-inch wheels that make every ride feel like a big deal. Whether you’re navigating narrow downtown streets or packing up for a Green Mountain getaway, the Kicks delivers the versatility Vermonters need — with enough style to turn heads while doing it.
