Nissan Kicks is equipped with Nissan's third-generation HR15 1.5L engine. Below are the detailed specifications of the Nissan Kicks: Vehicle Dimensions: The body dimensions are 4295mm in length, 1760mm in width, 1588mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2620mm. Engine: This engine series incorporates multiple new technologies to enhance emission and fuel consumption performance, such as cylinder bore plasma spray technology, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) technology, electric continuous variable valve lift control technology, and variable intake system. This 1.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 124 horsepower and a maximum torque of 147 N·m. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT (continuously variable transmission), with multi-point fuel injection for all models. All variants meet the China 6B emission standards.
As a Nissan Kicks owner, I find its HR16DE 1.6L naturally aspirated engine quite reliable. It delivers smooth daily commutes with around 128 horsepower, achieving 7-8L/100km fuel consumption in urban areas using regular 92-octane gasoline, which saves me a lot. The engine responds quickly without turbo lag, making it ideal for city traffic. Maintenance costs are affordable—just periodic oil and filter changes for a few hundred yuan. I enjoy weekend drives with friends; it handles slopes effortlessly with good noise insulation. With over two years of trouble-free ownership, I highly recommend this cost-effective compact SUV to potential buyers.
