Nissan will officially launch their Kicks SUV on January 22, 2019
Accordingly the India-spec Kicks are larger than its international counterpart as it is based on an updated version of Renault’s M0 platform, rather than the Nissan’s V platform. It measures 4,384mm in length, 1,813mm in width, 1,656mm in height, and has a 2,673mm long wheelbase.
Powering the Nissan Kicks are the same engines found under the hood of the Renault Captur. There is a 1.5-litre diesel motor that churns out 110hp and 240Nm of torque (mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox) and a 1.5-litre petrol engine putting out 106hp and 142Nm of torque. Nissan is likely to introduce automatic gearbox options for both engines in the future.
Inside, the Kicks features a few segment-firsts in terms of equipment. It gets a large 8.0-inch floating touch screen infotainment system, which doubles as a display for the 360-degree camera. The SUV also gets leather inserts on the dashboard another segment first. Other features include automatic LED headlamps, automatic climate control, cruise control, automatic wipers and 17-inch alloy wheels.
