Nissan Kicks Concept

[CSMDuty11]

For some reason it feels like a fusion of a (rear of a) Juke, a Tiida, a Maxima, and a bit of a Patrol front.
Similarities that only i can probably see aside, i don't find it good-looking. At all. And i even found the Maxima to look good. As well as thinking that the concept looked pretty decent.

Seen one of these a few weeks ago in the flesh. Interior is pretty nice I'd say.

I like the interior.

Based on looks (both inside and out) the Kicks does not have that cheapness stigma which is often associated with global cars, it looks like a good quality product. Hopefully that can be reflected in the driving dynamics too.

See? If this comes to Australia, the Altima is dead.

Is this bigger than a Juke but smaller than a Qashqai? - or does it replace one of them? - or maybe it's not to be sold where they're sold?

If this is global, how will this fare with the Juke's sales?

I'd say it's the same size, maybe smaller.

Same size as which one?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Same size as which one?

Oh oops, Juke.

 

[TheCracker]

👍

Ah. So it's a Juke alternative for people with functioning eyes/sensitive neighbours?

 

[FT-1]

Nissan claims the Kicks is marginally larger than the Juke. The way I see it, the next generation Juke cannot grow in size, would have to appeal to a younger audience and be highly customisable (basically a direct competitor to the Fiat 500X) to differentiate it from the Kicks.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It's definitely shorter in height than the Juke, that's for sure. May be longer and/or wider. As far as the Juke goes, don't expect a new one.

Nissan’s elusive Kicks -- a new baby crossover -- is getting closer to U.S. showrooms.

 

[Grandea GTR]

The Juke’s marketing push has always been as a sporty vehicle, pitched primarily to single males.

I'm not so sure about the outcome of that... similar to how the Scion xB was supposed to be for the youth but ended up being popular to old people instead, I see the Juke almost always driven by a woman, single or with a family.

Nissan Teases New Crossover For LA Show, Is It The US-Spec Kicks?

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Maybe they'll call it the KickZ for the US market as a successor to the 370z.

It's a Renault, right? I could put a Renault badge on that. Wouldn't look out of place. Can't wait for the Nismo.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It's a Renault, right?

Don't believe so.

 

[05XR8]

Thought it was based on the Captur. I've seen a few around. Pretty compact.

 

[kikie]

I misunderstood the thread title. I was under the impression that Nissan was going to abondon this concept. You know, kicks, in getting rid of it?.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Not bad, seems like a good option in the price range.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It got some healthy upgrades for the facelift (like switching to 5-lug hubs) but I haven't driven one so cannot give an opinion. I do expect people to complain about the power though.

2025 Nissan Kicks unveiled. Just like the Chevrolet Trax's redesign, it's a substantial improvement over the outgoing model. The new Kicks gains AWD and 14 more horsepower, powered by a 2.0L I4. I'm actually quite impressed with Nissan here. At 171 inches, it's only 3 inches longer than the old Kicks; I think the new car might be the spiritual successor to the old Honda HR-V, now that the new one is Civic-based and much larger and pricier. With the imminent demise of the Versa and Altima, the new Kicks seems to be the most hip subprime vehicle on the market.
