Safety Features

Safety is a key factor for any vehicle, especially when you're navigating busy streets in Cleveland or cruising down the highways of Northeast Ohio. The 2025 Nissan Kicks comes equipped with Nissan Safety Shield® 360, a suite of six advanced safety technologies, standard across all trims. Nissan Safety Shield 360 includes:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
  • Blind Spot Warning
  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • High Beam Assist
  • Rear Automatic Braking
These features help protect you and your passengers in all driving conditions, from downtown Cleveland’s busy streets to the highways around Strongsville and Lakewood.

The 2025 Hyundai Kona offers some of these features, but you’ll have to pay extra for higher trims to get the same comprehensive safety package whereas the Kicks includes them at no additional cost.

Bottom Line: The 2025 Nissan Kicks offers more standard safety features than the 2025 Hyundai Kona, making it an ideal choice for safety-conscious drivers in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio.

Interior Passenger and Cargo Capacity

The Nissan Kicks offers a more spacious cabin compared to the Hyundai Kona. Despite being a subcompact SUV, the Kicks provides ample legroom and headroom, making it comfortable for all passengers.

When it comes to cargo space, the Nissan Kicks truly shines. It offers up to 30 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down, making it one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. The Kona, on the other hand, only offers 25.2 cubic feet of interior cargo space. If you often find yourself loading up with groceries, sports equipment, or luggage for a weekend getaway outside of Northeast Ohio, the extra room in the Kicks can make all the difference.

Nissan Kicks Interior

The Nissan Kicks’ Zero Gravity Front Seats are designed to reduce fatigue on longer drives, making it the ideal SUV for those who often find themselves on the road between, Akron, Mansfield and Cleveland. These seats provide a higher level of comfort compared to the seating in the Hyundai Kona, which focuses more on sportiness than long-term comfort.


Innovative Technology

Tech-savvy drivers in Lakewood and Cleveland will appreciate the 2025 Nissan Kicks’ seamless tech integration. Standard features include a 7-inch touchscreen (with an available upgrade to 8 inches), Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity. You’ll also enjoy features like the NissanConnect® Services app, which allows remote access to your vehicle, including lock/unlock, emergency assistance, and vehicle location tracking. While the Hyundai Kona offers similar tech, many of these features require upgrading to higher trims, making the Kicks a better value if you’re looking for modern technology at a more affordable price.
