Nissan KIX Announced

 Nissan KIX Announced
Nissan KIX / Nissan

Another product of Nissan/ Mitsubishi co-operation

It’s not K.I.X. but KIX, as in “kicks” and it’s due for Japanese release at the end of October. The KIX is Nissan-badged but is supplied to Nissan by Mitsubishi under agreement. The two companies co-operate on certain levels, especially in LCV sector, and this being one of those levels. KIX is a rival of such legends as the Suzuki Jimny and will probably utilise the same engine as the Mitsubishi Pajero Mini, which is that 660cc, 64PS unit with a turbocharger and 88Nm. It’s not clear yet what type of drive will be in place (2WD, 4WD, both) and no announcement has been made regarding export to other markets either.

Yes, this looks like a Daihatsu Fourtrak of about 25 years ago. I struggle to comprehend this is a new release for Nissan.

It's good! It has the appeal of all great 4x4 from the '90s! Simplicity is the key!
