One of the most important aspects is the engine performance of the car we are buying because the durability of our car depends on this point and also it decides how much our car can endure.

- The partnership with Renault also offers a good deal of HR 13 DDT four cylinder engine.
- Another important part to look at is the drivability of the car the 20-80 Kmph in third gear and 40-100 Kmph in fourth gear is completed in 9.41 second and 12.51 second which is pretty good figures as the engine is so powerful because of the high torque rate and more than abundant power.
Handling and ride
Another important point to look at is the handling of the car. Considering the harsh road condition at some places in India this is extremely crucial to think about this point.
- But the kicks is apparently equipped with 210 mm high ground clearance features which solves this problem and the car can move with ease in any type of road. To prove this point this car is tested in the monsoon latched ground of Mumbai and the car passed the test with flying colors.
- The car also has a good stability in directions the car stays in line and can switch back easily without any effort.
- The car tyre is also good in grip and comes with progressive brakes which means the car can be stop in any kind of emergency without any difficulty.
Interior of the car
The interior of the car remained almost same that means the interior still equipped with clutter free ergonomic cabin.
- The car comes with the same old features as the duster, there is a touch screen of eight inches, with the same old climate control, window switches but the leather used in the seat adds a touch of class and premium look inside the car.
- Also the interior is spacious with enough leg room and head room and also 400 litre boot space enough to keep our stuffs for the weekend trips.

- The car comes with basic safety measures like four airbags , speed warning, seat belts, 360 degree camera with parking sensor traction control, management for vehicle stability , adjustable headrest, hill start assist etc.
Conclusion

Comparing with duster this car is more costly but it is more affordable if compare to the KIA seltos a car with various feature but not that powerful compared to the kicks. Overall the Nissan kicks is good enough car to buy considering the really powerful engine which is the most important point and also the car come with enough features to satisfy the buyers. The only flaw in this car is the dealer’s service which is informed to be inconsistent and irregular in there service. Other than that this car is a goof buy for this festive season.
