The Nissan Kicks will launch on January 22 and will become a direct rival to the Hyundai Creta and the Maruti S-Cross
Ahead of its official launch on 22 January, the official brochure of the Nissan Kicks has leaked online. As per the recently surfaced document, the upcoming Hyundai Creta and Maruti S-Cross rival will be available in four variants – XL, XV, XV Pre and XV Pre (O).
While the Hyundai Creta is on sale with two diesel and a petrol engine, the Maruti S-Cross is available with a diesel engine option only. On the other hand, the Nissan Kicks is available with both petrol and diesel engine options. The petrol motor of the Kicks displaces 1.5-litre and produces 106 hp. It comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The diesel engine also displaces 1.5-litre but produces 110 hp and comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
The base variant (XL) of the Nissan Kicks will offer many standard features viz. LED DRLs, full wheel covers, height-adjustable driver’s seat, adjustable front and rear headrests, electrically adjustable outside rear view mirrors with turn indicators, automatic climate control, rear AC vents and four-speaker audio system with Bluetooth, USB, and Aux-IN compatibility. Standard safety features include ABS with EBD, dual front airbags, rear parking sensors, and a rear defogger.
