Also, Bookings for the Nissan Kicks SUV will begin in the country on December 14. The car has been revealed fully and is larger in size than the international market crossover which uses the same nameplate. The Kicks has been redesigned and re-engineered for India and is now 89mm longer. The India-spec Kicks is based on the same platform as the Nissan Terrano, and by extension the Renault Duster and Captur. The interiors are more upmarket feeling than its stablemates but seems to carry over some components from the Captur. This is evident in the instrument cluster, front seats and the climate control set-up. More on the Nissan Kicks? Read our detailed first drive review.
