The Nissan Kicks BS 6 2020 can now be reserved for purchase. While the Nissan online reservation portal has yet to open, several Gurugram-based Nissan dealerships have begun accepting reservations for a symbolic amount of ₹50,000. This amount is fully refundable. Its deliveries will begin in late May.
It should be noted that the new Nissan BS 6 is not the 2021 Kicks e-Power that was recently revealed and will go on sale in Thailand on Friday.

With the annual update, Kicks has gained new features and mechanical changes, but the exterior design remains more or less the same.
The Kicks BS 6 comes loaded with the world’s first floating 8-inch infotainment display that features voice recognition, Android Auto / Apple CarPlay connectivity and more. You also get the NissanConnect app with over 50 connectivity features. Some other highlights include its remote engine start, idle start-stop system, and rain-sensing wipers.
The Indian spec model uses the HR13 DDT 1.3L four-cylinder power station with a gasoline turbocharger. It offers 156 PS of maximum power, backed by 254 Nm of maximum torque. The interesting information here is that it is the most powerful engine in its class. This engine is coupled to a 6-speed MTT or CVT X-tronic. In this configuration, the SUV is good enough to deliver up to 16.3 kmpl of fuel economy.
In addition to this engine, there is also a 1.5-liter HR15 H4K unit known to deliver 106 bhp and 142 Nm. It comes coupled to a 5-speed MT. The Kicks 1.5 returns a fuel economy of up to 14.1 kmpl.

The Kicks BS 6 variant list includes XL, XV, XV Premium and XV Premium (O). While the 1.5 petrol engine is limited to mid-spec XL and XV base trims only, the turbo-petrol MT / AT is available in Premium XV and XV trims. The high-end XV Premium (O) only comes in the MT turbo-gasoline variant.
