All-New Nissan Kicks SUV – 5 Things To Know

Nissan has revealed the all-new Kicks compact SUV ahead of its official debut at the 2024 New York Motor Show. The all-new Nissan Kicks comes with design changes and interior along with bigger dimensions. It shares several components with the Mitsubishi X-Force SUV, which is on sale in Indonesia and other markets. The new Kicks won’t be introduced in our market; however, Nissan has confirmed that it will introduce a new mid-sized SUV in 2025-26. The new SUV will be based on the alliance’s CMF-B platform that underpins the 3rd gen Renault Duster.

1. New Platform

Nissan was selling two different versions of the Kicks SUV with similar exterior design but different styling. The India-spec model was based on the B0 platform that underpins the first-gen Renault Duster, while the global-spec model is based on the V-platform that underpins the global-spec Nissan Micra and the Sunny sedan.

The second generation Kicks shares the platform, body panels, interior bits and mechanical components with the Mitsubishi XForce SUV. The XForce SUV is based on the different derivative of the Mitsubishi GS platform, which also underpins the Xpander and the Nissan Livinia MPVs in Indonesia. The all-new Nissan Kicks will be sold in both left and right-hand-drive markets and will be the brand’s entry-level SUV in North America.

2. New Design

The front fascia comes with a newly styled grille surrounded by black-finished area and horizontal LEDs. At the back, the new SUV comes with uniquely styled LED tail-lamps connected via a black strip.
