2025 Nissan Kicks S vs 2025 Nissan Kicks SV Comparison | Which one Should you Buy?

so the 2025 Nissan kicks just arrived in Canada and you might be wondering which one do I go with so today we are comparing the Nissan kicks s to the Nissan kicks SV going through the differences to help you determine which one should you buy my name is Christopher from Cars unlocked and welcome back to the channel if you guys are new here give us a thumbs up if you learned something here today don't forget to hit that subscribe button now here we are with the Nissan kicks s me being Dutch the first thing I want to know when comparing Vehicles is the price this one here in Canada has an MSRP of 31968 for my American friends the USD MSRP is 23330 flipping over to the SV package you do have an MSRP of 33536 in America it's 25330 USD so Couple Grand more let's see what features you get for that extra money when you compare the front ends of both packages they are relatively the same here now all of them are going to come with LED headlights and led daytime running lights when you go up to the SV package you get a little more color Choice as you can see this one is in the gorgeous metallic copper brown here very unique color here for the SVS but besides that the front ends are relatively the same it's going to come with your forward emergency braking which is in the sensors here and on the windshield let's check out the side profile this is where the two vehicles kind of show their differences here on the side of the s or the base model you can see this one has these hub caps here just a ont te hubc you have 16in wheels and then you have our black mirror caps and our black handles flipping over to the SV on the S V you get 17in wheels it does still have hubc caps on this but it's like a two-tone hubc cap so a little fancier steel cover and then you get the body colored mirrors and matching handles so if you like that kind of transition with the brown on the handles and the mirrors the SV is the way to go they also have this nice little Chrome side skirt on the bumper It's not really Chrome it's just a painted gray to kind of give it a little contrast Nissan has gone full kicks mode here for 2025 they replaced their beloved cash Kai model and they revamped the kicks here so they fixed a few beefs that people had about the old kicks first one being these come all-wheel drive now they have the Nissan intelligent all-wheel drive system these specific models that we are reviewing are going to be the front-wheel drive models stay tuned to the channel as we will review the all-wheel drive models when we get our hands on them these ones are going to come only front wheel drive but you do have quite a bit more space than the previous model we are also going to do a comparison between the Nissan kicks 2025 and the 25 Nissan kicks which is the older body style that Nissan is dubbing the Nissan kicks play so stay tuned to the channel if you want to see the difference so when you compare Keys you do get a little more value with the SV here the kicks s is going to come just with the Nissan intelligent key so you have your lock and unlock the s V you will get the remote starter so you just need to push the lock button twice and click and hold the remote starter and it's going to automatically start up great for the winter time also on the SV it does have the remote entry and the approach so as I approached the car with the key it automatically unlocks or I can push the button on the door to lock and unlock the door now you don't get that with the S with this SV as I walk away it will also lock the door once the key leaves the proximity so now that we've kicked the exterior out of the way let's jump on the inside and compare the Interiors both cars are going to come with a six-way manual adjustable driver's seat now this one has the straight black cloth a little different in the SV which we're going to jump into a second both front seats are heated as well all of them are going to to come with Nissan zero gravity seats in the front and the back and we're going to compare those when we go for a spin as I mentioned this SV comes with this kind of two-tone contrasting cloth seat so you get the upgraded cloth seat it's like a black and a gray cloth seat and it has this unique stitching throughout the insert it's also going to come with a leather wrapped wheel and then both seats are going to be heated and you have the six-way manual that's the same in both of them make sure you comment which one would you buy the SV or the S I can talk about these all day but we want to hear from you so drop your comment below with this SV package you get the digital temperature control and the wireless qi charger so that's one thing you don't get in the base model um here I just need to set the temperature and the fans are going to automatically adjust All Digital just like the thermostat in your house and I can just plot my phone right in there and it's going to charge my phone so I don't have to worry about plugging into the USB so I do like the backup camera you get the 7in backup camera you do have these guidance lines and there you can hear our sensors going as we approach these trees and that's my rear emergency break basically stopping me from hitting these trees so I would like to see maybe a little higher dep backup camera but it's kind of one of those things you get what you pay for it's not going to be a full highly resolution IED screen for this kind of price when taking a look at the trunk both of them are going to going to have basically the same trunk it's 23.9 cubic feet of cargo capacity pretty much the same trunk when you go up to the SV you do get the Nissan divide and hide storage system so you can kind of adjust this however you want tuck things underneath no spare tire now in the Nissan kicks I guess that's added Nissan's kind of scrap that let's take these things for a drive and see what we think there's a big thing about Us North Americans wanting all-wheel drive I think it's the marketing but typically we did a snow test on the old Nissan kicks and we didn't have snow tires and it drove great in the snow a lot of people just they they come in with this uh perspective that I have to have all-wheel drive or else I'm going to crash and die but okay which way should I turn Nissan has also solve that problem by adding all-wheel drive and if you go up to the top packages of this the Sr package you get a sunroof this one doesn't have a sunroof but you can get a sunroof in the Nissan kick so huge kind of changes here a lot more space like I just feel so much comfortable especially with the armrest and I feel a little more higher off the ground so Nissan has really changed the Nissan kicks but for the better they took the value and the modern technology that the Nissan kicks is known for and fixed a lot of the beefs and a lot of the problems that consumers were complaining about about it but still kept that design quality and value at a low price point now when driving both cars the S and the SV we're in the S now they're going to drive relatively the same like almost identical in terms of the drive really the only difference you have the 1 in bigger Wheels other than that they're going to drive relatively the same both of them have the 2 L 4 cylinder engine and it's going to come with 141 horsepower and 140 lb speed of torque so no changes to the power PL both of them are going to get phenomenal fuel economy 7.7 L per every 100 kilomet really DriveWise and mechanically they're both going to drive the same the SV is just going to give you all the bells and whistles that we mentioned keep in mind if you're really concerned about the drive and you don't really need all the bells and whistles this s would be the way to go cuz they all Drive the same in terms of the power plan and the specs you guys tell tell me in the comments what you think about the redesign did Nissan hit it out of the park have you driven one yet we'd love to hear it as always guys subscribe thank you so much for watching
