This model is likely to be launched in the Indian market in January, 2019.
The Nissan Kicks will look largely identical to the global model, but it will have some changes. While the model sold in abroad markets is based on Nissan’s V-platform, the India-spec model will sit on the Duster’s MO platform that also underpins the Nissan Terrano. It will be longer and bigger compared to the global-spec unit. The India-bound model is likely to sit around 4.4 meter in length, while the global unit is around 4.2 meter in length. This suggests that the Kicks for India will have better legroom and headroom space for both front and rear occupants.
