2025 Nissan Kicks Play Offers Affordable Entry to Crossover Convenience

Crossover vehicles have captured the attention of Canadian drivers for their practicality, but finding one that doesn't strain your budget can prove challenging. Nissan has addressed this gap with the introduction of the 2025 Kicks Play, starting at CA$22,598. This strategic addition to their lineup brings crossover advantages within reach for more shoppers while maintaining the features that matter most.

The Kicks Play continues alongside the all-new 2025 Kicks model, giving buyers more choices at different price points. This unique approach means you can step into the crossover category without the premium typically associated with these versatile vehicles, while still enjoying modern convenience features and impressive efficiency.

Smart Packaging Over Complicated Options

The 2025 Kicks Play simplifies vehicle shopping through a streamlined approach to trims and equipment. Rather than confusing buyers with numerous packages and add-ons, Nissan offers just two well-defined grades:

S Grade (CA$22,598):

• 7-inch touchscreen with smartphone integration
• Three USB ports for connectivity
• Nissan Safety Shield 360 safety suite
• 60/40 split rear seats
• Easy-Fill Tire Alert system
• 16-inch wheels

SV Grade (CA$25,198):

• Enhanced with 17-inch alloy wheels
• 8-inch touchscreen interface
• 7-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display
• Heated front seats and steering wheel
• Electric parking brake with auto-hold function
• Rear disc brakes for improved stopping power

This straightforward structure lets you clearly see what you gain by stepping up to the higher trim, without hidden costs or complex option combinations.

Economy That Works In Your Favor

Many crossover shoppers worry about increased fuel consumption compared to smaller vehicles. The 2025 Kicks Play turns this concern on its head with efficiency ratings that rival many compact cars:

7.7 L/100km city 6.6 L/100km highway 7.2 L/100km combined

These numbers translate to real-world savings throughout ownership. A typical urban commuter driving 20,000 kilometers annually could save hundreds of dollars each year compared to less efficient alternatives in the segment.

The economical 1.6-litre engine delivers sufficient power (122 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque) for daily driving while maintaining exceptional fuel efficiency. This balance provides practical performance without sacrificing the economy that makes the Kicks Play particularly affordable in the long run.

Space Utilization That Makes Sense

Despite its compact external dimensions (4,309 mm length), the 2025 Kicks Play offers surprisingly functional interior space:

• 2,624 litres of passenger volume across both rows
• 716.4 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats
• Expanded 914.6 litres with rear seats folded
• 1,111 mm of front legroom for driver comfort
• Practical 60/40 split rear seats for flexible carrying options

The elevated seating position provides the commanding view that attracts many to crossovers, while the compact footprint ensures you can still navigate tight parking situations with ease. This thoughtful packaging creates useful space without unnecessary bulk that would reduce efficiency and increase costs.

Everyday Convenience Without Premium Pricing

The 2025 Kicks Play incorporates practical features that enhance your daily driving experience without adding unnecessary cost:

• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration comes standard
• Multiple USB ports throughout the cabin keep devices charged
• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection enhances safety
• Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert simplify urban driving
• Available Intelligent Cruise Control reduces highway fatigue
• Available Remote Engine Start prepares your vehicle before you enter

These features address real-world needs rather than just checking boxes on a specification sheet. The focus remains on delivering practical value through thoughtful design and equipment choices.

Ownership That Fits Your Budget

Beyond the initial purchase price, the 2025 Kicks Play offers several advantages that contribute to lower overall ownership costs:

• The efficient powertrain reduces ongoing fuel expenses
• Standard safety technologies help prevent costly accidents
• Simple mechanical design potentially reduces maintenance complexity
• Standard warranty coverage provides ownership peace of mind
• Lower weight compared to larger crossovers reduces wear on components

These factors combine to create a more affordable ownership proposition beyond just the accessible entry price. For budget-conscious shoppers, these ongoing savings matter just as much as the initial purchase cost.
