(posted on conceptcarz.com) It is offered in front-wheel drive only.Dramatic design with signature Nissan features The 2020 Kicks presents an expressive sense of style and substance with a wheel-oriented stance and Nissan signature design features viewed from every angle. Among those established design signatures are Nissan's V-Motion grille, available LED headlights and 'floating roof' with a 'wrap-around visor' look to the windscreen and side glass. The wide C-pillar is 'hidden' with a black finish that blends into the tailgate glass, helping give the floating roof a distinctive and eye-catching appeal.These themes are augmented by a number of dynamic styling features, such as the bold wheel arch fenders and the rising character line on the bodysides that accentuate the car's crossover stance and inherent strength. This high waistline contributes to a sense of security and well-being for passengers, especially those in the rear – yet still allows excellent outward visibility for all. In addition, the dark lower body trim magnifies the body height, emphasizing the high ground clearance and helping resist scrapes.Available exterior features include standard Intelligent Auto Headlights with adjustable sensitivity and timing (including twilight and wiper activation) and rear wiper – along with available LED low beam headlights with LED signature accents, fog lights, roof rails, heated outside mirrors with integrated turn signals and rear roof spoiler.The 2020 Kicks is offered in a range of seven exterior colors: Brilliant Silver Metallic, Gun Metallic, Super Black, Cayenne Red Metallic, Fresh Powder, Aspen White TriCoat (premium color) and Deep Blue Pearl.Five two-tone paint schemes are also available: Super Black/Aspen White TriCoat, Monarch Orange Metallic/Gun Metallic, Super Black/Monarch Orange Metallic, Super Black/Cayenne Red Metallic and Fresh Powder TriCoat/Deep Blue Pearl. Kicks was the first of now three Nissan models offering the dramatic two-tone treatment, along with the Nissan LEAF and the all-new for 2020 Nissan Sentra.Smart interior, personalized technologies Inside, the Kicks story is one of quality and contemporary design in a cabin full of the innovative features expected by its tech-hungry target audience. The interior provides ample passenger space throughout the cabin, including best-in-class2 front seat legroom. Kicks also offers a total of 53.1 cu/ft of usable cargo space.Kick's modern and simple 'gliding wing' instrument panel design is dominated by a centrally mounted 7.0-inch full color display housing a comprehensive infotainment system. Kicks offers NissanConnect® featuring Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ as standard equipment on SV and SR grades.For the ultimate audio experience, the Kicks SR Premium Package includes the class- exclusive3 Bose® Personal® Plus sound system. Part of the Bose® Small Vehicle Series, it delivers a superior, driver-focused listening experience using just eight speakers and proprietary Bose® signal processing to provide what Bose® calls '360 degrees of immersive sound.' Key to its dynamic sound are a pair of lightweight 2.5-inch Bose® ÚltraNearfield™ neodymium speakers located inside the Kicks' driver's seat head restraint.The system also includes compact 6.5-inch Bose® Super65™ speakers in each front door, cross-firing 1.0-inch tweeters in each A-pillar and 5.25-inch wide-range speakers in each rear door. A Bose® PersonalSpace Control feature is built into the infotainment system's audio settings, providing adjustable listening options from front-focused sound to a wider, more enveloping experience. The system also includes a digital amplifier with six channels of custom equalization and digital system processing.Among the other on-board technology, Kicks features an available Intelligent Around View® Monitor4, which uses four on-board cameras to present a virtual composite 360-degree
