We're at the first drive event of the Nissan Kicks in India. And while you might remember the Kicks, from when we drove the smaller International-spec in Dubai, this is the first time we'll be getting behind the wheel of the India-spec Kicks. While the India-spec Kicks is larger, it still benefits from the long list of premium features bundled with the Kicks sold abroad. Importantly, our cars will be powered by the same petrol and diesel engines currently on sale in the Terrano, namely the 1.5-litre K9K diesel and the 1.5-litre H4K petrol.
But how it drives is for later, for now here's what we know of the car, from the product presentation.
