2025 Nissan Kicks Wins Best-in-Class at J.D. Power Residual Value Awards

We knew from the start that the 2025 Nissan Kicks was going to be a massive hit for many reasons. No one sets a standard for a vehicle without breaking a few benchmarks, which is why there is so much interest in our newest small SUV. 

There is another reason why the 2025 Kicks is an important vehicle for you. It just earned a J.D. Power Best-in-Class ALG Residual Value Award and is projected to hold the highest percentage of its Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price among “micro” SUVs over the first three years of ownership.  

The J.D. Power U.S. ALG Residual Value Awards are the automotive industry standard in recognizing vehicle models projected to retain the highest percentage of their manufacturer’s suggested retail price. This retention rate is crucial in determining the lease cost of a vehicle, highlighting an automaker’s achievements in long-term quality, design, and the overall appeal of their brands and models. 

The selection of the 2025 Kicks shows how much our newest small SUV has made an impression on everyone. It starts with its “street-smart design inspired by sneakers, ” a testament to how different the Kicks is from its competitors. It also serves up a level of technology not expected in a vehicle at its price range. 

Yet, you get a spacious cabin with comfortable, supportive seats and a versatile cargo space. The 2025 Kicks also rides on its best-in-class standard ground clearance, giving you a stance that is ready for adventure. Add the available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, and you have a small SUV ready to handle any weather anomaly coming its way.  

More importantly, the 2025 Kicks offers the safety and security of the available ProPILOT Assist. It will make driving easier by ensuring you will get through a long driving stint without fatigue. Combined with several driving assistance features, the 2025 Kicks delivers confidence over every mile.  

It is also worth noting that the iconic 2025 Nissan Z performed among the top two models in the compact premium sporty car segment in the Residual Value Awards. 

Nissan has a lineup of vehicles that will deliver a higher return upon trade-in and resale. With great technology on board, driver assistance features that will keep you safe and secure, and great looks that will turn heads, it is no wonder why J.D. Power selected the 2025 Kicks and Z on their Residual Value Awards list.
