In December of 2024, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) announced the compact crossover Nissan Kicks as a 2024 Top Safety Pick. This distinction means that Kicks showcased the highest standards of safety capability under the most recent, more stringent evaluation standards.

The criteria to earn this award changed in 2024, becoming more rigorous, insisting that vehicles demonstrate enhanced performance in side-impact tests that deliver 82% more energy as compared to previous standards. Other changes in standards include stricter evaluation standards for rear-seat protection, pedestrian crash prevention, and headlight performance over all Kicks trims. Under the new guidelines, vehicles must earn at least the following ratings:

• Regarding small overlap front and current side-impact crash tests – “Good” rating.
• Original moderate front crash test – “Good” rating.
• As to the pedestrian front crash prevention – “Acceptable” or “Good” rating.
• Regarding headlight performance across all trims – “Acceptable” or “Good” ratings.

Nissan’s 2025 Kick model excelled in the new evaluation criteria, garnering extra protection for pedestrians and passengers in several real-world scenarios. Kicks is equipped with Nissan Safety Shield 360; this package is standard across all trims. Kicks features several intuitive safety technologies like Lane Departure Warning, Rear Automatic Braking, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Warning, and High Beam Assist.
