The 2025 Nissan Kicks is the perfect mix of style, function, and affordability, all in one redesigned subcompact SUV. From daily drives to spontaneous adventures, it brings comfort, innovation, and a bold new look. Here’s everything you need to know!

Bigger, Bolder, and Smarter

The new 2025 Nissan Kicks outshines its predecessor in almost every way. It’s bigger, boasting increased cargo space (up to 30 cubic feet in FWD models) and rear legroom for your passengers. The exterior design has been reimagined—Nissan’s signature "V-Motion" grille has been traded for a flatter, sportier front-end with horizontal slats that blend seamlessly into the headlights. And if style matters, you’ll love the SR trim’s sharp 19-inch wheels and the stunning two-tone paint options.

Inside, riders are greeted with a classier and more refined cabin experience. The top-tier SR trim takes the luxury up a notch, thanks to padded simulated vinyl with red stitching, real leather-wrapped features, and sporty carbon fiber accents. Plus, with exclusive Zero Gravity seats, all-day comfort for both rows is guaranteed.

Power Meets Performance

The 2025 Nissan Kicks finally dials in the performance department with its new 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. With 141 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque—up significantly from last year’s 1.6-liter engine—the Kicks is noticeably peppier at every turn.

Thanks to its sharp throttle response and simulated “shifts” from the continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), zipping from zero to 45 mph feels quick and spirited. While highway merging can still bring some engine noise, the performance boost makes the Kicks a more confident ride.

For the first time, the Kicks also offers optional all-wheel drive (AWD), vastly improving its capabilities in rainy, snowy, or rugged conditions. AWD is an intelligent addition for drivers looking for added grip, especially in regions with challenging weather.

Feature-Packed Technology for Every Drive

From infotainment to safety, the 2025 Kicks is packed with features to elevate your ride. Here’s a look at some of the highlights:

Infotainment Revamped

The available 12.3-inch touchscreen (on SV and SR trims) offers seamless access to media with its vibrant visuals and user-friendly interface. Standard Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make smartphone integration effortless, while multiple USB-C ports (two in the front and two in the back) and wireless charging ensure you stay connected with ease. For an immersive audio experience, the SR trim features a 10-speaker Bose sound system with headrest-mounted speakers, making every playlist or podcast a true delight.

Safety Features – Nissan Safety Shield 360

Nissan doesn’t compromise on safety. The entire 2025 Kicks lineup comes equipped with Safety Shield 360, a comprehensive suite of features that includes automatic emergency braking (front and rear) with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and high-beam assist. For those looking for even more advanced technology, the SR trim offers ProPilot Assist, Nissan’s semi-autonomous driving system. This system is designed to reliably manage highway steering, braking, and acceleration when needed, providing an extra layer of convenience and safety.

Designed for Versatility and Everyday Living

Cargo Space: The enlarged body means there’s more room for what matters. Depending on your configuration, the Kicks has up to 60 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down—more than enough for groceries, suitcases, or a weekend adventure.

Epic Cupholders: Yes, you read that right. The Kicks’ cupholders can house anything from a wine-bottle-sized water bottle to those Big Gulps you can’t live without.

Comfortable Ride Height: Need easy entry and exit? The Kicks has just the right seat height so you won’t have to climb up or drop down—perfect for those with sore joints or anyone who values convenience.

Is the 2025 Nissan Kicks the Right Fit for You?

The 2025 Nissan Kicks offers something for almost every budget, from the base S model starting at $22,000 to the premium SR AWD trim at $31,000. The mid-grade SV delivers incredible value with features like a larger touchscreen, wireless phone integration, and upgraded materials. For those seeking a sportier edge, the SR trim adds a sleek aesthetic and luxury options like a panoramic moonroof and Bose sound system.

Ideal for new car buyers, the Kicks is a versatile crossover that combines great cargo space, advanced tech, and safety features—all in a stylish, affordable package. With its upgraded engine, sleeker looks, added AWD, and generous tech options, the 2025 Kicks isn’t just an improvement—it’s a game-changer in the subcompact SUV market.

Pickleball

Love a bit of competition? Pickleball is a mix of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, and it’s been a hot favorite for many in the past few years. Thanks to its approachable rules and smaller court, it’s a hobby anyone can try—even if you’re not super athletic. It’s a great way to stay fit, meet new people, and have fun while doing it.

Furniture Flipping

Turn trash into treasure by exploring the art of flipping furniture! With a little sandpaper, paint, and creativity, you can transform second-hand furniture into stylish new pieces for your home—or even sell them for a profit. Furniture flipping is perfect for hands-on DIYers who enjoy working with their hands and giving items a second life.

Reading

There’s nothing like getting lost in a good book. Whether you enjoy novels, non-fiction, or even audiobooks, reading is a hobby that’s both entertaining and enriching. Not sure where to begin?

Restoring Cars or Learning More About Yours

Calling all gearheads (or aspiring ones)! If you’ve always admired classic cars or want to understand how your own vehicle works, car restoration or general car knowledge can be an incredibly fulfilling hobby. Start small by learning basic maintenance like changing your oil or swapping out a brake pad. If you’re ready to go deeper, consider restoring an older car to its former glory.

Nissan has started production of the all-new 2025 Murano at its distinguished Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant in Tennessee, bringing years of anticipation to fruition. This achievement signifies a major shift in Nissan's manufacturing strategy and introduces a redesigned Murano that integrates cutting-edge features, catering to the modern consumer's ever-changing needs.

A New Era in Murano Manufacturing

"This is a proud day for the team," said Brian Crockett, Nissan Smyrna’s vice president of manufacturing. "The hard work and dedication of thousands of Tennessee team members has brought this vehicle to life."

These words reflect the energy and commitment behind this manufacturing feat. The Smyrna plant—long heralded as one of Nissan’s most advanced and sophisticated facilities—began producing the Murano back in 2020, delivering nearly 145,000 units across the U.S. and Canada. With the 2025 model, Nissan is ramping up production significantly, aiming to produce more than 6,700 vehicles monthly by March 2025. Deliveries for the new Murano are expected to begin early next year.

Inside the Newly Redesigned 2025 Murano

The 2025 Nissan Murano is a game-changer in every sense. The fourth-generation Murano ushers in a sharper, more modern design while still embodying the boldness Nissan is known for. Inspired by the futuristic looks of Nissan’s Ariya electric crossover, the new Murano features a pinched rear-quarter window and a sleek, swept-back roofline.

Apart from its evolved aesthetics, the Murano features an array of performance enhancements. Gone is the V6 engine, now replaced with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. This upgrade provides 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, offering a balance between power and efficiency.

Other performance highlights include:

• Improved Drive Options: Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available across trims.

• Elevated Ride Height: Increased by 1.4 inches for improved versatility.

• Advanced Tech Features: A new see-through hood camera system boosts visibility and capability.

For those who didn’t take to the previous continuous variable transmission (CVT), the switch to a nine-speed automatic is a welcomed change, delivering a smoother, more refined driving experience.

Attention to Comfort and Technology

The 2025 Murano interior has been meticulously crafted with comfort and innovative tech at its core. Highlights include:

• 12.3-Inch Dual Displays for infotainment and gauge clusters.

• Google Built-In Features found in the SL and Platinum trims, offering Google Maps, Play Store, and Assistant.

• Wireless Connectivity with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

• Luxury Touches: Platinum trims add massaging front seats, quilted semi-aniline leather upholstery, and ambient interior lighting.

Whether you're commuting or on a weekend adventure, the Murano delivers a premium experience with its Bose 10-speaker sound system, Zero Gravity seating, and more.

With an emphasis on practicality, the Murano offers ample cargo space—33 cu. ft. with the rear seats up and 64 cu. ft. with them folded. Families, professionals, and adventure seekers will find the Murano to be a capable companion for everyday use use.

Pricing, Availability, and Production Goals

While Nissan hasn't officially announced U.S. pricing for the 2025 Murano, estimates suggest a starting price of around $40,000. We anticipate these details to drop before the holiday season now that production is underway.

The 2025 Nissan Murano comes in three trims: SV, SL, and Platinum. The mid-level SL trim is a great choice, offering many features.  Including a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera system, memory settings for the driver’s seat, and in-dash navigation with ProPilot driving assistance.

Nissan plans to ramp up production to 6,700 units per month by March 2025, ensuring that the demand is met quickly and efficiently.

Why the Murano Stands Out

The new 2025 Nissan Murano combines bold design, affordable luxury, and smart innovation, making it a standout in the competitive crossover SUV market. Built in a factory known for high quality and efficiency, the Murano is ready to make a strong impression.

First introduced in 2003 as a trailblazing SUV, the Murano has evolved over the years to meet the needs of today’s drivers. The 2025 model is a true reflection of Nissan’s commitment to exceeding expectations and adapting to changing consumer demands.

Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures can create serious hazards for drivers, making seasonal maintenance an important step in preparing your vehicle for the season ahead. Taking care of your car now helps ensure a safer, more reliable ride when winter weather strikes.

Why Winterizing Your Car is a Must for Safe Driving

Winter weather can create hazardous road conditions, leading to accidents. In 2022 alone, there were 498 fatal crashes caused by snow and sleet conditions, not to mention thousands of injuries. Proper pre-winter maintenance can significantly reduce these risks.

Don't Skip on Seasonal Winter Tires

One of the most crucial steps for winter safety is swapping out your all-season tires for snow tires. Snow tires are specifically designed to provide better traction on icy roads. They also maintain better grip at lower temperatures, saving you from potential accidents and increasing the lifespan of your all-season tires.

Steps for Pre-Winter Maintenance

Check Your Tires

Inspect the tread depth (use the quarter test to ensure safety). Keep tires inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure levels. Consider installing snow tires for optimal winter traction.

Test Your Battery

Cold weather reduces battery power. Visit a mechanic to check its condition and replace it if necessary.

Inspect and Refill Fluids

Fill your windshield wiper fluid with a winter-ready solution. Be sure to check and top off coolant, oil, and any other necessary fluids to ensure smooth operation throughout winter.

Upgrade Your Wipers

Upgrade to heavy-duty winter wiper blades for improved visibility in snowy and icy conditions. These specially designed blades are built to handle the challenges of winter weather, preventing ice and snow buildup while maintaining a clear view of the road. Unlike standard wipers, winter blades feature a robust rubber coating that resists freezing and cracking in cold temperatures, ensuring reliable performance throughout the season. With enhanced visibility, you’ll be able to drive with greater confidence and safety, minimizing the risks associated with poor weather conditions.

Pack an Emergency Kit

Prepare your car today and drive confidently all winter long. Proper winter car care isn't just a necessity—it's a lifesaver.

Don't gamble with inexperience, take your vehicle to Bush Collision Center for service this season and ensure your car is ready for the weather to come. Our team is ready to help you with anything you need, from crucial seasonal maintenance to cosmetic cleanups. Call, click, or visit our dealership today to schedule any of our services today!

Advanced technology is another highlight, as the Armada incorporates Nissan's latest innovations, such as the ProPILOT Assist 2.12 for hands-off freeway driving, dual 14.3-inch screens with Google built-in, and an exclusive 12-speaker Klipsch® Premium Audio System. The Armada's blend of capability and luxury makes it a perfect option for families and adventurers alike, with pricing expected to start around $60,000.

2025 Nissan Murano

The 2025 Nissan Murano offers a unique blend of style and sophistication, elevating the brand's philosophy of "energetic elegance" to new heights. It promises a serene and luxurious driving experience focused on both comfort and performance. The Murano's stunning design features sleek lines and modern aesthetics, boasting available 21-inch wheels and eye-catching full-width LED tail lights. Inside, the emphasis on premium materials and craftsmanship ensures every ride feels like a first-class experience.

Cutting-edge technology is another highlight, with the Murano equipped with Google built-in, ProPILOT Assist 1.15, and an HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor with Invisible Hood View, making navigating city streets or highways effortless. Luxurious comfort is evident in the Murano's cabin, which offers optional massaging front seats, dual 12.3-inch displays, and 64-color ambient lighting, creating a personalized and indulgent atmosphere for every passenger.

Nissan is on an inspiring journey toward a sustainable fully electric lineup by 2030, championing a zero-emission future even amid market fluctuations. Dive into their strategic investments and pioneering technologies that are revolutionizing the electric vehicle landscape—and how these changes will impact vehicle repair.

Navigating the Sustainable Market Challenges with Optimism

In uncertain times, Nissan stands firm. While other automakers like Volvo and Ford have scaled back their all-electric ambitions, Nissan is forging ahead with a £3 billion redevelopment project in Sunderland. This initiative includes the construction of a third gigafactory, set to produce the next-generation Nissan Leaf and zero-emission Qashqai and Juke models by 2030.

Transforming Vehicles into Mobile Energy Units

A cornerstone of Nissan's electric vision is the concept of cars as "mobile energy units." By 2030, every Nissan EV will have the ability to power homes directly from their batteries. With Nissan's innovative V2X technology, EV batteries can charge during off-peak hours and provide energy to homes during peak demand, helping to lower electricity costs and maximizing vehicle utility. This capability also means that future vehicle repairs may focus more on battery management systems and energy integration, shifting the landscape of maintenance.

Enhanced Vehicle Repair Training and Tools

As electric vehicles become increasingly prevalent, Nissan is investing in specialized training for technicians to ensure service centers are equipped to handle the unique challenges of EV repair, from battery diagnostics to software updates. This training will enable technicians to develop expertise in electric drive systems and high-voltage components, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of repairs. Nissan is evolving the tools and technology used for vehicle maintenance; advanced diagnostic systems will facilitate precise troubleshooting, allowing for quicker identification of issues with electric drive components or battery health. Additionally, over-the-air software updates will minimize the need for physical service visits, providing greater convenience for EV owners and streamlining the overall repair process.

Partnering with ChargeScape for a Brighter Future

Nissan’s electric future extends beyond vehicle production. The company has joined forces with ChargeScape, a collaboration with BMW, Ford, and Honda. ChargeScape seamlessly integrates EVs with the grid, offering smart charging and vehicle-to-grid capabilities. This connection not only alleviates peak demand but also allows EV owners to earn incentives, showcasing Nissan's commitment to bidirectional charging and the development of virtual power plants.

Advantages for EV Owners

Nissan's initiatives bring substantial benefits to electric vehicle enthusiasts. With V2X technology, you can reduce energy expenses by using your vehicle to power your home during peak hours. Through ChargeScape, drivers can participate in managed charging programs to earn rewards. These efforts promote sustainability, lower CO2 emissions, and position Nissan as a trailblazer in electric mobility with cutting-edge solutions.

Moreover, as repair processes become more specialized, owners can expect more efficient service, leading to reduced downtime when repairs are necessary.

Embrace Nissan's Sustainable Electric Vision

Nissan's dedication to an all-electric future by 2030 exemplifies its passion for innovation and sustainability. By investing in advanced technologies and strategic partnerships, Nissan is not only transforming its vehicle lineup but also redefining how EVs connect with homes and the energy grid. If you're contemplating the switch to an electric vehicle, Nissan offers compelling reasons to join this exciting movement.

Bush Collision Center is ready to support Nissan in leading the charge toward a sustainable future. Discover the advantages of our electric vehicles and see how we can help  you elevate your lifestyle with your new all-electric vehicle. Interested in great deals?

Have you had recent auto body damage and are looking for a new vehicle? The big, reliable 2025 Nissan Armada is the perfect mash-up of luxury and practicality, from its grand interior filled with advanced technology to its rugged off-roading features. The new Armada is always up for a family adventure, a quiet commute, or an exciting excursion off the beaten path. Let’s explore how these features collide to bring us an outstanding SUV experience. 

Key Features of the 2025 Nissan Armada 

New PRO-4X Trim Level and Off-Road Capability 

With eight drive modes like Mud/Rut, Sand, and Rock, the new PRO-4X model of the 2025 Nissan Armada doesn’t need roads- it can make its own. Not only does it have the angles and the ground clearance perfect for off-roading, but the new PRO-4X model also includes Intelligent 4WD and an electronic locking rear differential for great performance on tough terrain. Off-road fans will love the real-time data they get from the Off-Road Information Display- like wheel slip and steering angle- as well as the clear view they’ll find with cameras like the Invisible Hood View. It also has an Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension for a truly “uplifting” off-road experience.   

Enhanced Frame and Performance 

It’s tough to find a smoother, quieter, more reliable ride than the 2025 Armada, with the increased torsional rigidity and lateral stiffness of its stronger frame. The new Armada is also strong in other ways, with a towing capability of up to 8,500 pounds. And you’ll tow safer, too, with features like Trailer Blind Spot Monitoring. But when you need to get up and go, the new Armada’s 9-speed automatic transmission and 425 horsepower 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine can make that happen pretty quickly. 

Interior and Technology Upgrades 

Inside the 2025 Armada, you’ll run into some great amenities, like open-pore wood and quilted leather seats. The technology is impressive, too, with standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Google built-in available on SL trims and higher, and dual high-definition displays- with even larger screens in PRO-4X models. The new Armada’s very roomy with more cargo space and more legroom in the third-row seating. 

Design and Exterior Features 

While the 2025 Armada wants to look sharp, with standard LED lighting, color choices like Super Black, and new two-tone roof treatments available, it also wants to stay practical. So, the new Armada has a hidden rear windshield wiper and a front air curtain for better aerodynamics. And wheel options include 18-, 20-, or 22-inch sizes, so you can have the ride that best suits your needs. 

Comparing the 2025 Nissan Armada with the Infiniti QX80 

The size and power of the Infiniti QX80 has met its match in the new 2025 Nissan Armada. Both vehicles are similar in more ways than one, with features like: 

• Premium Sound Systems. 

• Voice-activated Assistance. 

• Large screens and advanced multimedia systems. 

• Towing and trailer assistance. 

The QX80 goes all-in on the luxury, with extras like a single glass panel for multimedia and massage seats in higher trims. The Armada likes luxury, too, but it strives for more of a balance with its practical features for daily use and off-road adventures. 

Why Choose the 2025 Nissan Armada? 

The 2025 Nissan Armada is the SUV you happily get when you mix size, power, speed, practicality and luxury. It’s a roomy, reliable vehicle that can handle long trips and daily commutes, even if those journeys need to take you off-road, too. With its opulent interior, latest tech, stronger frame, and powerful engine, the 2025 Armada is a fitting collision between luxury and practicality. 

The new Armada will be coming to the greater Philadelphia area later this year and you can experience it at any of the Bush Auto Group’s Nissan Dealers. Until then, if your current ride has a not-so-fitting collision; if you need top-notch dent repair or full body work; if you want to make that ride look new again with our detailing experts; the only place the Philly region frequents is family-owned Bush Collision Center.  

The first National Tailgating Day was on September 3, 2016, and has since become a key event for sports fans across the country. Held every year on the first Saturday of September, it marks the start of football season and kicks off tailgates filled with food, fun, and team spirit.

What is Tailgating?

Tailgating is an American tradition where sports fans gather outside their favorite sports venue before a game to socialize, eat, drink, celebrate their team, and get pumped up for the game ahead. While often associated with football, tailgating is also common during baseball season and at NASCAR races, where enthusiasts tailgate for days in the infield.

Tailgating is more than just an event; it’s a culture. It brings people together, fosters team spirit, and builds a sense of community. Whether you’re a rookie or a seasoned tailgater, here are some tips to ensure your National Tailgating Day is a success.

Top 10 Tips for a Successful Tailgate

1. You Don’t Have to Go Big

You can make your tailgate the place to be even with limited space or budget. Use innovative products like coolers with built-in sound systems or portable grills with built-in speakers.

2. Prepare for the Elements

September can be hot. Bring sunscreen, hats, and tents for shade. Wear breathable clothing and consider hand-held air-conditioning units to keep cool.

3. Explore New Things

Surprise your tailgating crew with new games, local craft beers, or unique recipes like grilled lobster tails.

4. Sit Back and Relax

Invest in comfortable seating like GCI Outdoor freestyle rocking chairs or portable hammocks. Even tailgating chairs with built-in shade and fans can make a big difference.

5. Keep Cool

Ensure your drinks stay cold. Add rock salt to your cooler to drop the temperature below freezing. Devices that chill drinks in 60 seconds are also a great option.

6. One Size Doesn’t Fit All

Be mindful of different dietary needs. From peanut allergies to vegan diets, having options for everyone is crucial. Consider vegan burgers and brats that “bleed” beet juice when grilled. The traditional fare is burgers and hot dogs, however, and you can’t go wrong with the classics!

7. Power Up

Keep a small, portable power station to charge phones and other electronics. You'll be the hero of the tailgate.

8. Bug Off

Use portable devices that keep insects away without chemicals. Tools that use table salt to kill flies are effective and fun.

9. Don’t Be That Guy

Balance your alcohol intake with water to stay hydrated. Having a portable breathalyzer can help prevent intoxicated driving.

10. Let Your Outfit Speak for You

Stand out with wild shirts and pants that express your fandom. Innovative accessories like belt buckles that hold drinks can add a fun twist.

The Perfect Tailgating Vehicle

Choosing the right vehicle can significantly improve your tailgating experience. For trucks, look for features like ample cargo space for chairs, coolers, and grills, and a tailgate that can serve as a table or extra seating. Opt for models with built-in electrical outlets and power generators. SUVs are also great options, especially those with foldable rear seats for added storage. To complete your setup, consider adding accessories like awnings, storage containers, and tailgate mats.

Regardless of the vehicle, some features are indispensable: power outlets to keep devices charged, comfortable leather or vinyl seats for easy cleaning, entertainment systems with integrated screens and sound systems, and safety features like blind-spot monitors and lane departure warnings to ensure a secure journey.
