Nissan Kicks Explained – Video
The Nissan Kicks went on sale in China at a starting price of RMB 99,800, giving Chinese customers a new, fashionable and technologically advanced option in the fast-growing compact crossover segment.
“Since its debut at the 2017 Shanghai Motor Show, the Kicks has been well recognized by a lot of young customers – people born in China after 1990 – for its striking design and advanced features,” said Airton Cousseau, managing director of Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Co. “After pre-sale, the response was very enthusiastic. The showroom traffic and orders were beyond our expectation.”
The Kicks features Nissan’s signature V-motion grille, boomerang-shaped headlights and tail lights, a “floating” roof sitting on top of the glass house, and unique two-tone exterior color combinations. The D-shaped steering wheel and 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels give the car a sporty feel, completing its daring, dynamic design.
An efficient combination of the third-generation HR15 engine and Xtronic CVT delivers a great driving performance. Advanced safety technologies provide real-time monitoring of road conditions, including Intelligent Emergency Braking, Intelligent Lane Intervention, Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention and Cross Traffic Alert. Other safety features being offered include Intelligent Trace Control, Intelligent Ride Control, Vehicle Dynamics Control and Intelligent Engine Brake.
