The second-generation Nissan Kicks has been unveiled in Recent York, and superficially, not less than, it looks like a way more compelling prospect than the unique automobile.

The primary-generation Kicks was launched in 2016 as a “cost down” substitute for the Juke, which was designed with European sensibilities in mind.

While the unique Juke was made exclusively in Japan, the UK and Indonesia, the Kicks — which was sized between the Juke and Qashqai — was produced in various factories throughout Asia and Latin America, enabling it skirt import tariffs and reduce shipping costs.

Although the sizing and costs were, for a lot of, way more agreeable, the styling of the unique Kicks could most succinctly be described as “generic small crossover”.

The brand new model largely deals with the latter problem, and adds significantly more tech into the discount too.

With pricing yet to be revealed, we don’t know if the Kicks will proceed to be one in all the most affordable crossovers available within the US, where the present automobile starts from US$20,400 ($31,300) before local sales taxes and delivery fees.

Measuring 4366mm long, 1801mm wide, 1631mm tall, and riding on a 2657mm wheelbase in front-wheel drive form, the brand new Kicks is about 65mm longer, 40mm wider, 40mm taller, and has a 45mm longer wheelbase than the first-generation model.

It’s also much closer in size to the 4.43m Qashqai than it’s to the 4.21m Juke. The larger body is claimed to enhance each passenger and cargo space.

Inside, the dashboard is dominated by a big rectangular block that houses a normal digital instrumentation display, in addition to a touchscreen for the infotainment system.

Depending on the spec, the instrumentation screen measures either 7.0- or 12.3-inch. Similarly, the touchscreen is either a 7.0- or 12.3-inch unit.

Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are each supported, while wireless smartphone charging and as much as 4 USB-C ports can be found. A ten-speaker Bose sound system with speakers built into the front headrests is optional.

Top-spec models have a flat-bottom steering wheel, red-stitching throughout the cabin, and “sleek” capacitive buttons for the climate control system. A less-intrusive panoramic sunroof is offered on some models.

Standard safety features within the States includes autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, rear autonomous emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, high beam assist, lane departure warning, and driver fatigue warning.

Higher grades also include radar-guided cruise control, highway lane centering assist, and a 360-degree camera system.

Within the US not less than, the brand new Kicks is powered by a 2.0-litre making 105kW and 190Nm. That’s a significantly more ponies than the present automobile’s 91kW/155Nm 1.6-litre four-pot.

As a counterpoint, the larger second-generation Kicks weighs between 1355kg (entry-level front-wheel drive) and 1475kg (top-spec all-wheel drive). That makes the brand new model not less than 163kg heavier than the present Kicks.

Like many Nissan models, the Kicks is paired exclusively with a repeatedly variable transmission. Unlike the first-generation Kicks, the new edition will available with all-wheel drive, although front-wheel drive can be standard on all models.
