Nissan Kicks and Murano Crowned Most Dependable in J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study

Nissan started the year with a bang: the Kicks and Murano models have been recognized as the most dependable vehicles in their respective categories, according to the prestigious J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study. 

This annual assessment evaluates vehicles based on problems experienced during the past 12 months by original owners of three-year-old models. This study looks at 84 potential problem areas in nine categories: 

• Infotainment
• Features, controls, and displays
• Exterior
• Interior
• Climate
• Driver assistance features
• Powertrain
• Seats
• Driving experience

After performing these assessments, J.D. Power has placed these two Nissan models at the top of their segments, highlighting the brand’s commitment to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. 

The Nissan Kicks has been awarded the Most Dependable Small SUV, while the Nissan Murano takes the crown as the Most Dependable Midsize SUV—both for model year 2022. This achievement highlights Nissan’s commitment to producing durable, high-quality vehicles.

Let’s take a look at the latest iterations of these award-winning models.
