The new generation Nissan Kicks has been spotted testing in full camouflage. It gets a new exterior design, new interiors with additional features and is expected to have new engines as well. The new Kicks has grown in size with an erect stance and angular edges as compared to the round ones on the older model. The front bumper gets integrated ADAS sensors and radars, which hits at an ADAS suite being offered with the new model.
The SUV also has the headlamps positioned lower on the bumper giving the car a new look. The profile shows sizable wheel arches, flat roofline and body-mounted ORVMs. The rear section sports a new sleek tail lamp setup and a new spoiler as well. The interiors are yet to be revealed, but we can expect a sizable touchscreen infotainment unit with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay along with a digital instrument cluster that has new animations for all the readabouts.
