Nissan had a tough last few years due to low sales and no inspiring products. Fortunately, Nissan was able to recover from this drought due to the Magnite. The Magnite has revived the brand in India with its affordable pricing and features. Now Nissan will be looking to carry forward this momentum. The next product from Nissan will be the facelifted Kicks. The Kicks is a decent product but is not able to compete with the Hyundai Creta And Kia Seltos. The facelifted Kicks can help it to bring good sales. In today’s article, we will see this upcoming SUV from Nissan.
