| ![]() Mental pricing. I saw it yesterday & IMHO it deserves to be priced just at par with Tata Nexon. And even then I'd say Tata servicing is better because they have AMC plans. Any management that's keen on doing honest long term business would sort out fair ownership plans with Extended Warranty & AMCs, so that the customers joy of ownership isn't marred with quality & maintenance issues.

This is typical case of "Half knowledge is dangerous". With no more details available as of now apart from the 11Rs/km subscription thing, a lot of prospective buyers might prefer waiting rather than paying down-right for the car. Hope this does not back fire. | |

| ![]() Diesel + Automatic is the combination that most customers look for in these pseudo suvs. I wonder why the manufacturers keep ignoring the setup? Atleast the petrol automatic should have been offered from day one. |

| ![]() Looks like a failure to me as a product, lot of key elements are missed out. In my opinion its another Capture in making. |

However, you should consider the fact that the engine, gearbox and steering setup is directly taken from the Captur (You should note that all Renault cars have the indicators on the left). Even the ugly volume control buttons behind the steering are the same. ![]() Nissan has only invested in the packaging of this product, and ignored all other aspects, including the driving experience. | |

When A company is selling only 200-300 cars sales (nissan brand only) and launches a product which has almost no edge in any of the areas such as Feature set, Aftersales Service, Geographical Reach, Brand Value, Resale Values, Engine Specs, Mileage, Comfort or even Global-Prestige-of-the-Product and still prices it Head-on against a well-Entrenched Opponent (H-Creta) ; it reeks of mind boggling incompetence, lack of understanding of market and total apathy from the top Bros of Nissan India Team. I wouldn't touch this product with a Barge Pole even for test drive. I just feel sad to see an impending demise of another global automaker in India.

| ![]() Autocar India(Renuka) interviews Thomas Kuehl(President - Nissan India) & Peyman Kargar(SVP Africa, Middle East & India) about the SUV's value proposition, the company's dealership network and the new car subscription model, at the Kicks launch event. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Nissan and Renault should learn how to price a product correctly from TATA! I do not see any point to go for a Kicks instead of the Harrier/S-cross/Creta or Ecosport. If i want a petrol, will settle with the Ecosport or the Creta. They are just bringing back their age old Duster with new shapes and new names. First the Captur, now the Kicks. Selling 'old wine in new bottle' with an increase in price tag wont save them.

| ![]() Somehow this launch seems to suggest that Nissan does not want to sell higher variant cars and wants to be happy selling the middle XV variant the most. To be fair, the XV does seem to have most of the important features and seems to be priced quite well as well. For me it seems to be a nice alternative to the now boring Creta and does seem to be a better car over all. Nissan cars in general are also reliable and hardy, but as mentioned earlier, service seems to be a big concern along with Nissan's sustainability in India.

May be 1 lac price lower, trim by trim in comparison to Creta would have brought the smile in you. -Abhishek. | |

Just like although the Nissan Kicks has got atleast a few very very relevant ergonomic flaws (as pointed by fellow members here), yet you seem to believe it's a segment above Nexon. Quote:

Doesn't it matter that regular usage would maybe possibly require specific warranty terms & some decent maintenance ? Quote:

Chill my dear fellow. You dissected my post much more than it warranted. I reiterate, shed a lac trim by trim as compared to Creta which it aims (considering sub par ownership /A.S.S. experience and brand pull) and I can vouch the very same customers, who decide which segment a car belongs, would buy this in lots .
