Contrary to what is indicated by the rumors, the new compact Nissan SUV should take advantage of the kicks’ play and could also have an unprecedented name
Together with the beginning of the production of Nissan’s new kicks in Rende (RJ), new information on the second unpublished SUV that the Japanese car manufacturer intends to launch itself on the Brazilian market in 2026. Unlike the first items that would have had a new game platform.
The information comes from the automatic secrets of the website. During the release of Kicks Play in February, the president of Nissan in the country, Gonzalo Ibarzábal, confirmed that the brand prepares the launch of a new SUV in Brazil until mid -year. At the time, the manager declared that the model would be unprecedented, who discarded Nissan Magnite Indian.
One of the strongest voices also said that the new SUV would have the Renault Kardian CMF-B platform. However, the latest catches indicate that it seems to have the same body as the current kicks, but with visual changes in the front and rear. The new model will be produced in Rend (RJ) and will be the replacement of Kicks Play, which is nothing more than first generation kicks with fewer versions and focused on cost-benefit.
The unprecedented model is part of the current Nissan investment cycle of 2.8 billion dollars in Brazil. As the second generation of kicks became larger and more refined, the new model would not have fought directly with the bestsellers of the Japanese brand. The new Nissan SUV should be about 4.10 long me will be exported to other American markets, including Mexico and the United States.
The test car already seems to work with the final design, since the boot cover has a different cut and the torches also have a new format and a positioning. The front, in turn, is also higher than the current one. Internally, the current generation of Nissan kicks is known by the P02F code and the new model bears the name of the code P02H.
More radical changes are planned in the front, rear and inside, which can bring lines inspired by the larger SUVs of Nissan. On the side, the model should obtain new wheels and mirrors and can also change a part of the stamping in the mudguards and in the rear. With this, the name of the SUV can also be different, to be moved away from the first generation of kicks and give a greater charm of novelty.
Platform V will be the same as the old Nissan march, versa and the current kicks. Under the hood, the new Nissan SUV should also maintain the current 113 HP 1.6 Flex, always associated with an automatic CVT transmission. Still in the development phase, the new SUV should hit the market in 2026 and should fight directly with the Pulse Fiat trio, Renault Kardian and Volkswagen Tera.
