Why You Need to Buy the Nissan Kicks- II

By
Posted in Uncategorized

A compact cross over instilled with years of experience and expertise from the Japanese car manufacturer is the Nissan Kicks. Post its debut in the Sao Paulo International Auto Show back in 2014, the Kicks is ready to kick-out all its competitors.

Interior design of the Kicks

When you can take your eyes off the stylish exterior design and look inside, prepare to be taken-aback. The dashboard has a trademark design of what is referred to as the “Gliding Wing”, so shaped such that the curving rim over the dashboard extends to line that runs along the interior of the front doors. AC vents by the door are embedded into the dash and rounded for minimum space utilization. Also cocooned into the dash is a secondary AC vent right under the region that is slightly raised.

Interior color palette is dual-toned with warm browns dominating the seats, the ventral surface of the doors and the dashboard.

Moving along to the technology in the car, the instrument cluster will let slip a wolf-whistle. The perfect mix of the traditional gauge needs with analogue display with the digital-intel on the fuel usage, engine temperature etc., retains the old while giving way to the new.  The infotainment system carries a standard 7inches touch screen display.

All in all the interior may no strike to be impressive but remember that for a car which is released in the bottom segment, the material used is not cheap and definitely the best in class when it comes to its competitors.

Why You Need to Buy the Nissan Kicks – I

By
Posted in Uncategorized

With design similarities to the 2014 debutant Concept showcased at the Sao Paulo International Auto Show, Kicks from Nissan is the latest addition in the cross over segment.

Exterior design

A sight to admire, the exterior of the Kicks carries the trademark V-Motion grille flanked on either side by headlights shaped like an inverted arch. The captivating design of the headlights seems to rise up from underneath the hood and kiss the top softly. The uninterrupted flow of the hood is disturbed by slight ridges at the edges before it continues down on either side. Add to the picture, fog lights nestled at the bottom (fascia corners), the collector’s piece is completed.

On setting your eyes on the car, a feature hard to miss is the alluring orange finish of the wraps on the roof around the sides which gives an illusion of a visor wrapped around effect.

If the front of the car is worth a second look, the sides do not disappoint. The fluidic lines curve along the sides of the car from the rear headlight to meet the seam below the front door, making the wheel arch the most dominant feature. A secondary body line connects the doors and moves upward to meet the rear; not to forget the additional protection offered to the doors by the body cladding on their sides.

The rear of the car is stylishly painted to match that of the roof. The design of the tail lights is similar to the front lights.

Nissan Gripz – The Concept That Can Be Part III

By

gripz

The interior of the Nissan Gripz Concept does not look as explosive as the exterior of the car. The interior of the car has been modeled on the features of racing bicycles. The Gripz Concept could well go on to become an inspiration for all the future crossovers in the Nissan Z family.

2+2 molded bucket seats and bare tubes resemble the features of a bicycle. The steering wheel, too, is exposed. Almost the same graphics have been used in the tire sidewalls as well as the door pulls. Overall, the features resemble the saddles of a racing bike.

The instrument cluster has a chronograph inspired design. Although it looks very sophisticated, the cluster has not got a very functional display. The floating digital display between the double-layered dashboards is quite unusual. The rest of the cabin looks very subdued.

Nissan has not divulged much detail about the drivetrain of the Gripz Concept. It has only revealed that the compact crossover will be equipped with an EV technology based series hybrid system called the “Pure Drive e-Power”. It will have an electric motor and an engine that runs on gas. Nissan has the capability of coming up with an innovative and evolutionary engine system.
