Interior & Exterior Design
Exterior
The 2025 Nissan Kicks impresses in a crowd with its all-new exterior design. Its two-tone paint and blacked-out rear pillar create the illusion of a floating roof, which gives it a sporty silhouette. The front and rear designs stay aggressive, featuring a low bumper with a diffuser. Moreover, LED lights and textured lower body cladding add fashionable durability.
The 2025 Honda HR-V opts for elegance with a clean profile. It features full LED lighting that creates modern visibility and 17-inch alloy wheels that balance practicality. With subtle functional touches like mirror-integrated LED turn indicators and splash guards, the HR-V prioritizes everyday usability and shields against road debris. In contrast, if you are a driver looking for bold aesthetics, the Kicks clearly comes out on top.
