The exterior looks nearly similar to the concept version, save for subtle changes intended at making the crossover production-ready. Nissan claims that the Kicks SUV will have a “strong design statement” as well “performance that customers crave”.
The Nissan Kicks is based on the company’s older V-platform, which underpins the Nissan March (Nissan Micra), Nissan Sentra (Nissan Sunny) and Nissan Note. Under the hood is a 1.6-litre flex-fuel (petrol/ethanol) engine paired to a five speed manual or an X-TRONIC CVT unit.
