Nissan is all set to launch the Kicks SUV in India in January but the finaly stages of testing for the SUV continues. We'll be driving the car next month and we'll find out more about it, but the Kicks SUV was caught testing in India. While globally the Kicks has been on sale for a while now, the India-spec model will be a lot different from the international model for it's based on the B0 platform as the Terrano, compared to the former that is based on Nissan's V platform. The India-spec Nissan Kicks will mainly compete in India with the likes of the Hyundai Creta and the Renault Captur.

The car that was spotted boasted of a new colour - Red, which actually looks pretty good on the car. The new Nissan Kicks will get both a petrol and diesel engine option. Powertrains are expected to stay the same as those on the likes of the Nissan Terrano, Renault Duster and Renault Captur. That said, Nissan must have an automatic option for the Kicks at the time of launch in order to grab that ever growing market. We expect the Nissan Kicks to be priced at about Rs 11-16 lakhs (ex-showroom)
