New 2020 Nissan Kicks Features and Specs

2020 Nissan Kicks Engine

As far as the engine is concerned, it would be BS6 compliant without a doubt. The engine is said to be the most powerful Turbo engine in its segment which has the cylinder coating technology borrowed from the Nissan GTR which ensures fuel efficiency and better performance. This engine also has the Dual Variable Timing System which helps reduce emissions and offer higher torque at low RPMs. The engine will churn out max power of 156 PPS and offer a peak torque of 254 Nm mated to both manual transmission gearbox and X-Tronic CVT transmission gearbox. Nissan claims the new CVT gearbox to be 40% more efficient than the existing CVTs in the market.
