Nissan Brazil has released more photos of the all-new Kicks as it poses in various parts of Brazil, where the 2016 Rio Olympic Games and Paralympic Games will take place. The carmaker has yet to reveal full details on the B-segment crossover but it is understood that the Kicks will be sold in more than 80 countries, with Brazil being the first.
Occupying the space between the Juke and Qashqai, the Kicks, which is also the Games’ official car, will first be assembled at Nissan’s benchmark plant in Aguascalientes, Mexico before full-scale production starts at Nissan facility in Resende, Rio de Janeiro, later.
The interesting design includes the brand’s V-motion grille, boomerang headlamps and tail lamps and a floating roof look that gives the impression that the windshield extends to the end of the side windows.
Inside, Nissan’s latest Gliding Wing dashboard design greets passengers, accompanied by a seven-inch full colour infotainment system. The refreshing styling also includes bright-coloured leather and a flat-bottomed steering wheel unlike those found in current Nissan vehicles.
Other equipment available on the Kicks include an around-view monitor and moving object detection, with four cameras mounted at each corner (front, rear and sides) of the vehicle to warn drivers of hazards. Nissan also claims a segment-first in the region technology by offering its Intelligent Mobility system.
Still no word on the powertrain that will be fitted on the Kicks. It is rumoured that a 1.6 litre four-cylinder petrol engine with 110 hp, paired with a five-speed manual transmission or a CVT gearbox will be utilised. According to Nissan, all pricing details, technical specifications and variants will be announced as we approach its official launch in Brazil.

Your next odyssey is here
ETCM fast fast bring this to Malaysia, we want a HRV challenger, not some XGear aka Livinia joke that try to fool us being a “crossover”. (This is true, go vist ETCM Nissan official website and they have the balls to catagorised Livinia X Gear as a “crossover”, what a stupid joke is it!)
Throw away your conservative Chinaman business mentality, you have already miss the Note and Juke, don’t make this another dissapointment in Malaysia. There are many Nissan/Nismo fans who are willing to buy a nee age Nissan, this handsome Kick is surely one of them.
yeahh..they should bring the qashqai as well eventhough u have the x-trail..more sedan like the maxima..wonder why they are not bringing this model to malaysia..
how abt the next gen Juke?
Nissan should really beautify its headlamp design language to make their models look much more handsome and easy-to-recognized. The patented DRL is cool just need a lil more touch up. Take Benz as an example.
this Kick is ugly, its a mashup between Juke & X-Trail
HR-V too bland
i guess C-HR and CX-3 wins the looks department
Interior and exterior can not beat the HRV.
They should design the high console divider to enhance a corkpit feel like HRV and the front grill spoil the facade.
thumb down for nissan.
