The Nissan Kicks will go on sale
nationwide in Brazil on 5 August, 2016 – the same date when the 2016 Summer
Olympic Games will start in Rio. Weeks ahead of its market launch, Nissan has
revealed all the details about the Nissan Kicks.
The standard Nissan Kicks will be
available only in SL grade, but there will be a limited edition also, for
customers willing to spend further up the range. The Kicks SL is priced at
R$ 89,990 and the Kicks limited edition is priced at R$ 93,500. The first 1,000 units of the Kicks will be limited edition
models. The Japanese automaker aims to sell 2,000-3000 units of the Kicks each
month by the end of the year.
The Nissan Kicks measures 4.29 metres in
length, 1.76 metres in width and 1.59 metres in height, and has a wheelbase of
2.61 metres. Noteworthy features of the Nissan Kicks include automatic
headlamps with LED daytime running lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, digital
instrument panel, 7-inch infotainment system with GPS
navigation, 6-speaker sound system, remote open/close function for doors and
windows, Zero Gravity seats and 360-degree camera.
The Nissan Kicks is based on a new
generation of the V platform and is powered by the second generation of the HR16DE
1.6-litre engine. This engine will be a flex-fuel unit for Brazil, tuned to
produce 114 hp at 5,600 rpm and 152 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.
Power is sent to the front wheels via the XTRONIC continuously variable
transmission.
