Nissan Kicks Review
The legroom and headroom are pretty nice but it is hard to fit three people on the rear bench. The vehicle is built on the Versa platform, the ride quality is actually really good. The suspension doesn’t feel too hard or too soft and bumpy road isn’t uncomfortable at all. On the other hand, the steering isn’t really superb, as we find a lot of play in the steering wheel and it doesn’t feel nearly as connected as you may like. When you speed up the electronic steering becomes a bit more responsive, so it’s better. In conclusion, the Japanese automaker will never let you down.
Nissan Kicks Testing In India
Soon Nissan Kicks is going to launch in India.
