Nissan has teased Nissan Kicks in
China and will showcase the urban SUV at the Auto Shanghai 2017 which opens on
19 April.
The
Nissan Kicks is Nissan’s answer to the Hyundai Creta or the Hyundai ix25 if
talked specifically about China. The Japanese automaker confirmed plans to sell the model in more than
80 countries. The small SUV measures 4,295 mm in length, 1,760 mm in width and
1,590 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,10 mm.
The Nissan Kicks rides on the V platform that
underpins even the fifth-gen Nissan Micra that went on sale in Europe. The Nissan Kicks will go on sale in China later this year. The Chinese-spec version is said to get the 124 hp HR15 1.5-litre engine instead of the HR16DE 1.6-litre engine.
V-motion grille, 17-inch wheels, boomerang tail
lights, full-colour seven-inch TFT information display, 7-inch touchscreen
infotainment system with satellite navigation, Traction Control System, Vehicle
Dynamic Control and 360-degree Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection
are some of the highlights of the Nissan Kicks.
