Rumors about the appearance of a new inexpensive Nissan crossover had been circulating for a long time, and just a few days ago the novelty was declassified.
It was the Kicks model, officially announced as the car for the upcoming Olympic Games.
According to the information provided by Nissan, the car turned out to be 16 cm longer and 2.5 cm higher than that of the Nissan Juke, while the wheelbase of the novelty is especially interesting, which in comparison with the Juke has increased to 2610 mm.
The exterior of the car is made in the traditional style for Nissan, but it looks more impressive than the budget Terrano SUV, designed on the same platform with the Renault Duster. Technically, the novelty is built on the same platform with the latest generation of Nissan Note and will be offered exclusively with a 1.6-liter a gasoline engine with a capacity of 114 hp. Such a motor will be able to work with a manual transmission or a variator, while the car will be offered only in front-wheel drive version.
The interior of the novelty has a more stylish and rich decoration than the Terrano, but it is still inferior to the interior design of the Juke, which is not surprising, because in the model range of the Kicks company it is located just between them.
At first, the car will be produced in Mexico, but over time, the carmaker intends to establish production in other countries, including the Russian Federation, where Nissan has several assembly plants at once.
