That’s a whole lot of ‘surf’ in the title, but it describes Nissan’s latest concept the best. Created by the company’s Latin
American studio, it, as you might have noticed already by its name, is based on
Nissan’s first global model launched in Latin America: the Kicks.
Launched in Sao Paulo, it was developed with input
from brothers Alejo and Santiago Muniz, who also happen to be surfing
champions. Nissan claims that the Kicks Surf Concept is “designed for those in
search of the perfect wave”, thus it comes with roof bars for carrying boards
and a rear deck for wet-suits and other accessories. They even went as far as
equipping it with a changing booth and a portable shower system, so no matter
how sandy or wet the experience gets, the interior of the car will remain
clean.
On the exterior, the study combines blue with yellow
and features graphics that represent ocean waves. The only highlight in the
cabin is the blue stitching, which complements the bodywork’s look.
Nissan didn’t say anything about putting the Kicks
Surf into production. Nevertheless, since most of these upgrades might be
adapted to fit the small crossover, they automaker could be testing the waters to offer it either as a complete package or a set of
accessories. But we wouldn’t hold our breath waiting
for this to happen.
