Nissan Kicks 概念車款

於最近舉行的 2014 聖保羅國際車展上，日本汽車廠商 Nissan 繼上两年的 EXTREM 后再次在展上公佈了全新的概念車款 Kicks。該款以進軍南美新興汽車市場作為目標的概念車款是由 Nissan 日本與加州的設計中心總部聯手設計打造，在強表現 SUV的基礎上加入了高性能轎車的設計元素。如此的融合為車身帶來了流線型的光滑外觀，配上了全弧形的擋風玻璃，19寸鋁合金輪框，V 字形柵格，充滿菱角設計的包圍以及橙色車頂等配置。對此 Nissan 的設計總監 Mamoru Aoki 也說道：

Brazil has a mix of people and cultures that blends a range of styles, flavors and tastes. In developing the Kicks concept, we sought to create a design that is both aspirational yet attainable –- a vehicle that is rugged enough to handle the reality of Brazilian back roads, but that is sporty, sophisticated, and business-like with year-round utility… Where the stance of the Nissan Frontier pickup might be compared to a power lifter and the Nissan GT-R to a world-class sprinter, the Kicks concept is more like a Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter –- coiled for action and precise in every movement.
