Nissan Kicks small SUV being rolled out to more markets, Australia under consideration
Nissan said the model has sold more than 1.8 million units globally and will be built in Sunderland for Europe in e-Power hybrid form.
- Nissan confirmed the second-generation Kicks will launch in the UK and Europe, with production at its Sunderland plant, while the company evaluates the business case for the Australian market.
- A £170M investment in the Sunderland facility enables Kicks e-Power production, marking the model's European debut following manufacturing in Japan, Mexico, and Brazil.
- Global sales for the Kicks have surpassed 1.8 million examples since 2016, with the model measuring 4365mm long and featuring a third-generation e-Power system delivering 3.9L/100km fuel consumption.
- Nissan Australia is "examining the business case" for the Kicks, which could replace the Juke that was axed in Australia earlier this year.
- Compliance with Australian Design Rules sidelined past attempts to introduce the first-generation Kicks, though the model remains a potential addition to Nissan Australia's lineup as Qashqai sales decline.
