Nissan ‘Kicks’ debuts

Manama : Nissan has launched the all-new Nissan Kicks compact crossover in Bahrain, its latest addition to the crossover segment.
Mohamed Almoayyed, Director, Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons and senior management attended the launch.
The first appearance of the Nissan Kicks was in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and since then has been found in over 80 countries worldwide.
Ranjit Nair, Senior Manager - Sales & Marketing of Nissan Bahrain said: “The all-new Nissan Kicks was developed to be the most innovative, stylish & functional crossover in its class. It is equipped with advanced technologies making the vehicle comfortable to drive, in addition to being strong and stable thanks to the advanced chassis control technology. The Kicks has made parking easier with its Around View Monitor (AVM) that is displayed on the 7-inch color touchscreen in addition to many more features which we believe will make the kicks appeal to many of our younger drivers in the market.”
Nissan Kicks has class-leading fuel efficiency thanks to its advanced 1.6-liter engine and lightweight platform. Power is rated at 88kW (118HP) and torque of 149Nm.
Nissan Intelligent Mobility uses smart, relevant technology that appeals to the young drivers that want a simple driving experience in addition to being connected to what matters. The Intelligent Mobility technology present in Kicks aims to reduce stress for drivers through innovations such as the Around View Monitor (AVM) and the Moving Object Detection system (MOD). This goes well with Nissan’s long term goal of zero emission and zero fatality motoring. Using four cameras, placed at the front and rear of the car and in both door mirrors, AVM creates a bird’s eye 360-degree view of the car which can be displayed on the central monitor and used as a parking aid. When the MOD system detects a moving object – a pedestrian, for example – a warning is sounded to alert the driver to the hazard and prevent a potential accident.
The kicks chassis control is one of the key features of this modern vehicle. It is supported by advanced electronic systems known as Active Trace Control, Active Ride Control and Active Engine Brake.
The Nissan kicks has a generous ground clearance of 200mm, which places the driver at a very comfortable height and clear all round visibility.
