Updated: Friday, March 22, 2019, 12:01 [IST]

Nissan India is all set to launch the new Kicks five-seater SUV in the country. The India-spec Nissan Kicks was first unveiled back in October 2018 and the Indian market immediately starting having a liking towards the quirky SUV. On the other hand, the global-spec Nissan Kicks came to the market at least two years prior to its Indian debut. Catch the LIVE launch updates below:

The Nissan Kicks we are getting in India is not just a cost-cut version of its international sibling. Instead, it has been developed keeping the Indian driving requirements and road conditions in mind. To make things more interesting, the Nissan Kicks's Indian version is actually bigger than the one sold in foreign markets.

We have already driven the new Nissan Kicks and were left impressed by the driving dynamics offered by it. To know every detail of the five-seater SUV, check out our First Drive Review Of The Nissan Kicks.

As per reports, the Nissan Kicks will be a replacement to the ageing Terrano. In this regard, the Kicks also comes with a host of comfort and safety equipment on the inside; something which the Nissan Terrano lacks by a good margin.

Expected prices for the Nissan Kicks is in the range of Rs 11 – 15 lakh ex-showroom (Delhi). Bookings were already started last month for an amount of Rs 25,000.

Once launched, the Nissan Kicks will be a strong rival to the Hyundai Creta, Mahindra XUV500, Renault Captur and even the upcoming Tata Harrier.
