The rear of the Indian-Spec Nissan Kicks has been mildly updated.

It retains all the design cues such as pop-out wheel arches, blacked out pillars, dual-tone floating roof and the roof rails are finished in orange adding a dash of funk. Not much has changed in terms of design on the side save for the larger wheelbase at 2673 mm and 17-inch twin-five-spoke alloy wheels. The Indian version also sees projector headlamps and that adds to the appeal of the car. The grille is still the 'V-Motion' Nissan family grille but has a different honeycomb mesh design and is flanked at wider ends. It gets a redesigned front bumper with skid plates finished in faux silver and LED headlamps with boomerang shaped daytime running lights (DRLs) at the inner corner. The additional width has made the front of the India-spec Nissan Kicks look more butch. Wheelbase too is more and stands at 2673mm and this means there will be more space at the rear.Īlso Read: Nissan Kicks India Unveil Highlights Images, Features, Specifications It gets a revised face: It's 89 mm longer at 4384 mm than the global model along with being slightly wider and taller at 1813 mm and 1656 mm, respectively.
