The overall design of the Kicks is identical to the equivalent Renault models. The styling looks funky and the sloping roof design gives the SUV an aggressive look. The roof rails and the faux bash plates render a rugged look to the rather smooth design lines of the Kicks.
On the interior, the kicks will feature a 7-inch infotainment system with connectivity options. Apart from that, the compact SUV will be equipped with the digital-analog instrument cluster, automatic climate control, flat-bottom steering wheel and dual-tone upholstery.
The Nissan Kicks is likely to draw from a 1.5-litre or a 1.6-litre diesel engine. The 1.5-litre diesel engine is also equipped in the soon to be launched Captur which produces 108bhp of power. Renault might also offer 1.5-litre petrol engine deployed in the Duster.
