Nissan is Offering a Sweet 2025 Kicks Lease Offer For May
Nissan is offering a compelling lease deal for the Kicks, one of the smaller crossovers in its stable. Whether you're on a tight budget or need to upgrade to a new vehicle, this attractive lease deal is hard to pass up. The Nissan Kicks is available for as low as $239 per month for a 39-month lease term, depending on location. This deal requires a $3,879 initial payment and allows up to 10,000 miles per year. The Nissan Kicks arrives completely redesigned for 2025, but it hasn't quite shed the low-cost, fun-sized characteristics that define the model. Compared to the previous iteration, which is still available as the Kicks Play, the Nissan Kicks features a more defined style. It grows a bit, which leads to a touch more room in the cabin. The largest change comes in the form of a new 141-horsepower four-cylinder engine that replaces the old three-cylinder powerplant. Nissan is also offering the SV version, which gets upgraded to a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a wireless smartphone charging pad. Its 141-horsepower engine offers plenty of pep and earns up to 31 mpg in combined city/highway driving at its most efficient. The Nissan Kicks SV FWD is available from $23,680 MSRP, but if you want to upgrade to all-wheel drive, be prepared to add an additional $1,650 to the price. Notably, some locations can get a lease deal specific to a Nissan Kicks SV AWD. Lease deals tend to fluctuate based on where you're living, and the Nissan Kicks lease deal is no exception. If you're around the Seattle, Washington area, you can get a great deal on a new Kicks SV AWD at just $269 per month and $4,299 due at signing. In Los Angeles, you can get into a Kicks SV FWD for $239 per month with $3,879 due at signing. Head further inland to Denver, Colorado, and the Kicks lease deal drops to $249 per month with a $3,869 initial payment. Over in the Austin, Texas area, the Kicks lease deal goes up to $259 per month, and the down payment drops to $3,819. If you live in the Chicago area, a Kicks SV AWD will run you $259 per month with $4,319 due at signing. Skip over to New York City, and you'll get the same Kicks model for $239 per month with $3,989 due at signing. Head south to Charlotte, North Carolina, and the Kicks SV FWD will run you $259 per month with a $3,819 down payment. In Miami, Florida, that same Nissan Kicks lease will cost you $239 per month with a $3,879 initial payment. Regardless of where you live, the Nissan Kicks lease deal spans 39 months with an allowance of 10,000 miles per year. If you've been wanting to check out the all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks, now is the time! This lease deal runs through June 2nd, so the clock is ticking. The Kicks arrives completely redesigned for the 2025 model year. With the SV trim, you get upgraded from the base model's seven-inch touchscreen to a 12.3-inch infotainment display, and there's plenty of smartphone-friendly tech to go along with it. In areas that see cold weather, like New York City, you can lease a Kicks with all-wheel drive, while those with less inclement weather, including Charlotte, are limited to front-wheel drive models. Lease offers can vary based on location, vehicle configuration, and are subject to credit approval. Advertised payments typically don't include taxes, title, registration, and other potential fees.

The Nissan Sentra Might Soon Be an American-Made Sedan
Nissan is facing a tough future, and plenty of uncertainty ahead could force the company to shift Sentra production to the United States. Despite the brand's global woes and financial struggles, sales were up 6.3 percent through the first three months of 2025 in America, driven mostly by its small, affordable models like the Versa and Sentra. A new Automotive News report citing an unnamed supplier says that Nissan is thinking about moving Sentra production to the US. This would help the company avoid US President Donald Trump's 25-percent tariff on cars imported from Mexico and Canada on a very important model in its portfolio. Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 Sentra Sales were up 36.1 percent from January to March. It was the brand's second-best-selling model behind the Rogue, losing the top spot by about 7,600 units, but its popularity shouldn't be a surprise in an era of exorbitant new car prices. The Sentra starts at $22,730 (the price includes the $1,140 destination charge), making it appealing to cost-conscious buyers. Nissan also makes the Versa and the Kicks in Mexico, which had 156 and 84.8 percent sales increases in the first quarter, respectively. Still, there's no indication Nissan is considering moving production for those two models to America. According to the report, Nissan might decide to build the Sentra at its Mississippi plant; however, the automaker told the publication that it has made no official changes to its industrial strategy. Photo by: Jeff Perez / Motor1 Nissan's new CEO has a tough road ahead, but he's making swift changes to turn around the company. He's closing plants, firing employees, and pausing projects to deliver a range of appealing new products, including a next-generation Sentra. The plans include a new electric Leaf and a plug-in hybrid Rogue , which Nissan builds in Tennessee. Nissan's Survival Plan: Nissan Lost $4.5 Billion Last Year.

Nissan layoffs, plant closures: Carmaker announces more cost cuts
Following a whirlwind year, the company announced it would also close seven plants, Reuters reported. The move will cut the number of its production plants from 17 to 10. It was not immediately clear which positions were being slashed and which plants were shuttering. USA TODAY has reached out to Nissan. Financial results a 'wake-up call,' CEO says Nissan employs more than 133,000 people worldwide, according to Nissan's Global website, with about 21,000 people, including manufacturing employees, in the United States. The new layoffs will bring Nissan's total workforce cuts to about 20,000 jobs. Last year, the automaker announced plans to cut 9,000 workers and previously announced nixing plans to build a plant in Japan. "As you can see, our full-year financial results are a wake-up call," newly named CEO Ivan Espinosa said during a press conference, according to Reuters and The Japan Times. The reality is very clear. Our variable costs are rising. Our fixed costs are higher than our current revenue can support." Espinosa, who replaced former CEO Makoto Uchida (2019-2025) recently revealed a handful of upcoming vehicles to the public recently including the new Leaf EV and the Kicks. The hidden costs of owning a car: How fuel, maintenance and depreciation add up Nissan layoffs come after retreating on merger The move comes on the heels of Nissan facing a plethora of challenges including new management, falling sales, and potential merger or acquisition. But analysts don't see the company failing anytime soon, the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network reported last month. In December 2024, Nissan and Honda announced a plan to merge, but Nissan retreated from the negotiations in February. This is a developing story.
