The 2025 Nissan Kicks: Canadian-Tested All-Wheel Drive Excellence

The 2025 Nissan Kicks enters its first winter season equipped with standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. What sets this crossover apart for Fredericton drivers is the extensive cold-weather testing program that refined its winter performance long before production began.

While many vehicles claim to be winter-ready, the new Kicks backs it up with real-world testing in some of Canada's harshest conditions. Through extensive development in Quebec City and other cold-weather locations, this crossover has been purposefully engineered for Canadian winters.

Advanced All-Wheel Drive for Every Journey  

For the first time, every 2025 Kicks comes standard with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. This system has been specifically tuned through rigorous testing in Canadian winter conditions, providing confident handling when Fredericton roads turn slippery. The system continuously monitors road conditions and adjusts power distribution to maintain optimal traction in varying weather conditions.

Proven in Canadian Winters  

Nissan's commitment to Canadian-specific testing is evident in their "Project North" initiative, which establishes Canada as the focal point for North American cold-weather evaluation. The Kicks underwent extensive testing in Quebec City, where development teams worked in pre-dawn hours and extreme conditions to ensure every aspect of the vehicle could handle winter's worst.

Superior Climate Control  

The HVAC system received particular attention during development. Testing teams conducted extensive evaluations in Quebec City, starting before sunrise to capture the coldest temperatures. The heating system was refined to provide quick warmup times and consistent temperature distribution throughout the cabin – essential features for those frigid Fredericton morning commutes.

Real-World Performance for New Brunswick Drivers  

The extensive cold-weather testing program translates directly to better performance on local roads. Whether you're navigating downtown Fredericton during a snowstorm or heading up to Mount Carleton Provincial Park for winter recreation, the 2025 Kicks has been engineered to handle these demanding conditions with confidence.

Built for Canadian Conditions  

The 2025 Kicks uses the CMF-B platform and includes standard all-wheel drive across all trim levels. Every feature, from the responsive heating system to the winter-tested handling, was evaluated and refined in Canadian conditions.
