Presented last month in Thailand, the 2021 Kicks will be sold with the e-Power electrified powertrain, which uses an electric motor to drive the wheels. The motor takes its juice from a 1.57 kWh lithium-ion battery and is backed up by a 1.2-liter three-cylinder gasoline range extender.
Exterior, the compact SUV gets a bolder V-motion radiator grille, slim LED headlights, a sportier front bumper with prominent side intakes and integrated fog lamps, blacked-out A-pillars for the floating roof effect, and new tail lights with boomerang-shaped light graphics. There’s a total of 13 different exterior colours in Japan, including nine monotone colours and four two-tone options.
Inside, it features a new instrument panel design, with a 7-inch infotainment system offered as standard, or an 8-inch screen as an option. A new design for the steering wheel and a reworked centre console to accommodate the model-specific gear lever and powertrain controls.
