Nissan Kicks Safety Features

The Safety Shield 360 warns drivers of potential hazards and takes steps to avoid them in some cases. It consists of the following driver assists:

Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection warns you audio-visually if you are about to hit a person or another vehicle. If you do not respond appropriately, it can apply braking to minimize or prevent an accident.

Rear Intelligent Emergency Braking does the same thing for the rear, such as when you are backing into a parking spot.

Rear Cross-Traffic Alert tells you if a car is crossing your rearward path as you reverse out of a parking spot.

Blind Spot Warning lets you know of vehicles that have entered your blind zone. Lane Departure Warning tells you if you are drifting across the highway and have not engaged a turn signal.

High Beam Assist switches from high beam to low when it discovers that a vehicle is ahead.

Intelligent Cruise Control keeps you at a safe distance from the vehicle ahead by automatically adjusting your speed.

The Intelligent Around View® Monitor presents a virtual 360-degree view of your surroundings to make tight manoeuvres easier.

Driving and Performance

Moving this Nissan crossover forward is a 1.6-litre Dual Overhead Cam 16-valve 4-cylinder that produces 122 horsepower at 6,300 RPM.
