RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil – Sales of the Nissan Kicks
ended positively in fiscal year 2017 with more than 58,000 vehicles sold
in Latin America. According to this figure, 6.5 vehicles were sold
every hour in 2017. Another way to look at it: One Nissan Kicks was sold
in Latin America every 10 minutes.
On top of its regional success, Nissan Kicks was the top-selling SUV
in Brazil in March – ahead of other SUVs in different segments. High
consumer acceptance of this audacious crossover in the region is based
on five main features:
Attractive design
Interior and exterior appearance were equally important during the
design stage of the Nissan Kicks. The exterior design incorporates
daring lines characteristic of Nissan's DNA. These include the V-motion
grille and LED headlights, with special touches that give it a dramatic
effect and make it attractive for the Latin American market.
The Kicks' interior denotes quality and a futuristic design thanks to
its coupé-style floating roof that creates an ambient visual
experience, and a modern dashboard with a 7-inch screen and built-in
entertainment and information system.
Unbeatable comfort
Nissan Kicks gives both driver and passenger luxury, protection and
comfort. The latest-generation, NASA-inspired zero gravitytechnology
seats fitted in the top-of-the-range version optimize comfort, reduce
fatigue and increase safety.
Another feature is its spacious interior that provides optimum
comfort for the head and knees of all passengers, plenty of luggage
space (with a capacity of 432 liters, one of the largest in the range),
and reclining back seats.
Balance between performance and comfort
Thanks to the combination of its advanced engine and the lightest
design in its category, Nissan Kicks gets good fuel economy. Its
second-generation 1.6-liter engine and XTRONIC CVT transmission make it
the perfect ally for city driving, with excellent performance and low
fuel consumption.
State-of-the-art technology
The Kicks is also a pioneer in innovation. It is the first vehicle in
the segment to incorporate the Nissan Intelligent Mobility concept with
an Intelligent Around View® (I-AVM) monitor with 360-degree
vision and driver-assistance systems such as Forward Emergency Brake and
Forward Collision Warning– both ofwhich provide a safer driving
experience.
A multi-functional instrument panel with 12 displays and built-in
navigation system greet drivers as soon as they get in the vehicle, with
Nissan Intelligence Key® technology to get started.
The Nissan Kicks driving experience has evolved thanks to its
intelligent features. Intelligent Trace Controlestablishes the line of
curves to calculate individual braking force in tires. Intelligent Ride
Control cushions braking force when passing over speed humps or divots.
And Intelligent Engine Breakdetects road conditions to provide smoother
deceleration.

Nissan Kicks was developed to face the challenges of city driving.
