The BS6 SUV will continue to feature dual-tone colour scheme underlined by a cascading grille, LED projector headlamps, silver-coloured skid plates, front fog lamps, roof rails, 17-inch alloy wheels and more.

On the inside, the SUV will sport dual-tone interiors with a carbon fibre finish. It will also feature an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment head-unit, with support for ‘Nissan Connect' connected technology, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, voice recognition, and a rearview camera.

The biggest change on the BS6 Nissan Kicks will be under the hood. The SUV will now feature a 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 154bhp and 254Nm of torque, making it the most powerful SUV in the segment in the Indian market. The 1.3-litre engine will come mated to a manual transmission as standard with an optional CVT automatic transmission. The Turbo variant will also arrive with a few exclusive features including (VSM) Vehicle Stability Management, traction control and more.

Thoughts About The Nissan Kicks BS6 Brochure Leaked Ahead Of India Launch

The Nissan Kicks when launched in India instantly captured the attention of buyers in the segment with its funky looking design. However, the popularity faded soon because of its feature-rich rivals in the segment. We expect the upcoming BS6 Kicks to win back some sales especially with the 1.3-litre engine, which offers class-leading performance. With the new engine, Nissan has justified the Kicks moniker of the SUV.
