    Nissan confirmed production for its Kicks crossover in January this year, and has begun testing the car on a Nissan Note’s body. Heavily camouflaged test mules of the production car have now been spotted in Brazil which seem to be wearing the actual production body. 
     
    Based on the company’s V-platform that underpins cars like the Micra and Sunny sold in India, the Kicks will be slotted below the Juke crossover. It will be powered 1.6-litre flex-fuel engine, which runs on a blend of petrol and 20-25 percent ethanol. This engine is built at the company’s plant in Resende, Brazil, which is also likely to be the manufacturing facility for the car.
