Renamed for 2025 as Kicks Play, and selling alongside the redesigned Kicks, Nissan's smallest subcompact crossover is more of a budget car designed to appeal to those customers who would normally buy a Nissan Sentra or Versa but are attracted to the versatility and styling of an SUV. Unlike many crossovers, the Kicks Play doesn't offer all-wheel drive. It comes with a modest 122-hp, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine coupled to a continuously variable transmission, producing leisurely acceleration but impressive fuel economy at 32 mpg overall. Handling is mundane, and the ride is rather choppy. Interior room is generous for the class, and the controls and infotainment system are easy to use. The 2025 redesigned Kicks now offers all-wheel drive.
