Nissan To Introduce Kicks Compact SUV In India
Nissan has commenced working on its next major product, the Kicks for the Indian market.
Japanese automaker Nissan has commenced working on its next major product for the Indian market. Cartoq reports that the Kicks compact SUV will be introduced in the country.
In 2016, Nissan unveiled the Kicks for the global market. In India, the new compact SUV will be underpinned by the same platform of the Duster and Terrano.
The Kicks will be slotted above the Terrano and will take on the upcoming Renault Captur which is also based on the same platform. Nissan has not revealed the technical details of the new compact SUV.
The Kicks is likely to draw power from a 1.5-litre diesel engine or the 1.6-litre motor developed for the Captur. Nissan might also offer the recently introduced 1.5-litre petrol engine on the Duster with a CVT gearbox.
