2025 Nissan Kicks Earns Top Safety Pick

 

The all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks has earned the prestigious TOP SAFETY PICK designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for 2024, demonstrating its outstanding safety capabilities under the latest, more stringent evaluation standards.

 

The 2024 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK criteria have raised the bar, requiring vehicles to perform better in updated side-impact tests that now deliver 82% more energy compared to previous tests. Additionally, vehicles must meet more rigorous requirements for rear-seat protection, pedestrian crash prevention, and headlight performance across all trims. To qualify for this award, vehicles must achieve the following:

  • A “Good” rating in small overlap front and updated side-impact crash tests.
  • A “Good” rating in the original moderate front crash test.
  • An “Acceptable” or “Good” rating in pedestrian front crash prevention.
  • “Acceptable” or “Good” headlight performance across all trims.
