Abdulmohsen Abdulaziz Al Babtain Company (AABC), the sole authorised dealer of Nissan vehicles in Kuwait, has announced the availability of the 2018 edition of Nissan KICKS compact crossover.

The new vehicle is offered at an affordable price starting from KD4,950 ($16,379).

Nissan KICKS is compatible to all the driving conditions with its robust exterior and elevated driving position, with its compact dimensions and fuel efficiency, thanks to its engine developed capacity of 1.6 liters along with lightweight and plenty of cargo space measuring 432 litres to combine driving comfort and savings for all groups, AABC said.

The 2018 edition comes with increased flexibility and price options, satisfying all customer segments. Nissan KICKS meets the needs of car-buyers in the city due to its innovative, stylish and practical design as a compact crossover vehicle, it said.  

Nissan KICKS has a high driving seat position with small dimensions to ensure smooth performance and better maneuverability. The exterior structure has a dynamic aerodynamic design that contributes to fuel economy and reduces noise.

Nissan Kicks is also one of the first models to embody the concept of Nissan Intelligent Mobility in which it has been unveiled at the “Geneva Motor Show 2016”.

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.

Technology-loving KICKS owners will relish the convenience and simplicity of the suite of systems that are accessible via the centrally mounted 7-inch colour touchscreen. These functions include navigation, audio, and Bluetooth phone connections. Complementing the touchscreen, and ideally located in front of the driver, a further screen in the main cluster of dials relays information from the on-board drive computer, audio system and navigation systems, as well as displaying warnings. Vehicle settings can be easily adjusted using the four-way selector on the steering wheel.

Active Trace Control is an innovation that intervenes during driving through corners to ensure the intended trajectory is maintained by discreetly applying brakes to wheels individually. This has the effect of preventing a sudden loss of grip or stability.

Underlining the car's crossover stance and inherent strength is its generous ground clearance (200 mm), which helps provide a commanding driving position and a high eye point for excellent all-round visibility, it said. – TradeArabia News Service
