Design-wise, the Nissan Kicks has undergone significant alterations, including the replacement of the brand's V-motion grille. Instead, the SUV now features a broad grille with horizontal slats.
The bookings for the Nissan Kicks SUV have been temporarily stopped in India. The SUV is likely to get discontinued owing to upcoming RDE or BS6 Phase II emission norms. Moreover, the company did not dispatch even a single unit in the last three months.
Last month, I didn’t get to drive the Kicks much as it had gone back to Nissan for two weeks. But it's back now and the service team has fixed the problem – no more wobbly wheels at high speeds.
Updated for 2020, the BS6 Nissan Kicks starts at Rs 9.50 lakh for the base variant with the 1.5-litre petrol motor. The top-of-the-line trim with the 1.3-litre turbo heart and CVT combination demands Rs 14.15 lakh
The 2020 Nissan Kicks will be offered with two petrol engine options a 1.5-litre unit and a 1.3-litre turbo petrol, which will be seen in the higher variants. The SUV will go on sale in 7 variants with manual and CVT options
Producing 153bhp and 254Nm from a 1.3-litre turbo petrol motor, the 2020 Nissan Kicks will be the most powerful car in its class. Expect the updated Kicks to get some cosmetic updates as well
