Nissan's small crossover, the Kicks, has been a popular choice for urban adventurers and small families since its introduction. However, despite its many virtues, one notable absence has been the lack of an all-wheel-drive option. That's all changing with the unveiling of the 2025 Nissan Kicks, which not only addresses this demand but also brings a host of other upgrades and enhancements.
From the moment you lay eyes on the 2025 Kicks, it's clear that Nissan has undergone a significant design evolution. Gone is the signature V-Motion grille, replaced by a more symmetrical and clean front fascia. The overall aesthetic is sharper, with angular lines and a prominent beltline giving the Kicks a more substantial presence on the road. The rear end retains the iconic floating roof motif, but with a modern twist, thanks to sleek vertical taillights and a less blocky rear gate. Beyond its exterior redesign, the 2025 Kicks boasts increased dimensions, offering more interior space for both passengers and cargo. With over an inch of additional shoulder room and an expanded cargo area, the Kicks sets a new standard for comfort and versatility in its class.
Inside the cabin, the upgrades continue with a modernized interior featuring dual display screens for the driver and infotainment system. The centerpiece is a large, high-resolution touchscreen, complemented by a host of advanced tech features, including optional 360-degree surround-view cameras and a premium Bose sound system. Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto further enhances the driving experience, allowing seamless integration with smartphones and other devices.
Powering the 2025 Nissan Kicks is a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, delivering 141 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), this engine offers responsive performance and improved fuel efficiency. However, the most significant addition to the Kicks lineup is the availability of Nissan's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. For the first time, drivers can enjoy enhanced traction and stability, particularly in challenging road conditions.
To complement its all-wheel-drive capability, the 2025 Kicks comes equipped with a range of advanced safety features as part of Nissan's Safety Shield 360 system. These include automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, and lane departure warnings. Additionally, the SR trim level offers ProPilot, adding steering assistance for a more relaxed driving experience.
Overall, the 2025 Nissan Kicks represents a significant step forward for the popular crossover, addressing key areas of improvement while retaining the qualities that have made it a favorite among consumers. With its bold design, advanced technology, and newfound all-wheel-drive capability, the Kicks is poised to continue its success in the competitive small SUV segment. Whether navigating city streets or exploring off the beaten path, the 2025 Kicks is ready for whatever adventure lies ahead.

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”
The new 2025 Ram 1500 is now available in the Middle East, featuring an all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engine family that brings more power, performance, and improved fuel efficiency.
“The new 2025 Ram 1500 brings our customers more: more power, more performance and more fuel efficiency with our all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane engines,” said Chris Feuell, Ram brand CEO – Stellantis. “With a choice of new and proven gas engines or our upcoming electric truck offerings, Ram is built to serve truck buyers everywhere. Our new powertrain offerings add to the unique combination of bold styling, leading-edge innovation and technology, durability and capability Ram customers have come to know and love.”
The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
