2 Answers
Nissan Kicks is equipped with Nissan's third-generation HR15 1.5L engine. Below are the specific details of the Nissan Kicks: Vehicle dimensions: The body dimensions are 4295 mm in length, 1760 mm in width, and 1588 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2620 mm. Engine: This series of engines incorporates various new technologies to enhance emission and fuel consumption performance, such as cylinder bore 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, and meets the China VI-B emission standards.
My Nissan Kicks is equipped with the HR16DE engine, a 1.6L naturally aspirated one, and it feels quite smooth to drive. For daily commuting in the city, the fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, which is much more economical compared to those high-displacement cars. The engine noise is also minimal, especially on highways, making the cabin very quiet and reducing fatigue on long drives. However, it's important to note that the key to maintaining this engine lies in timely oil changes and air filter replacements. I usually perform minor maintenance every 5,000 kilometers to ensure a longer engine life and avoid costly part replacements later on. Overall, the HR16DE is an economical and practical choice, providing sufficient power for daily use, making it ideal for ordinary people like us who mainly use it for commuting.
