New-generation Nissan Kicks debuts in Argentina: trims, specs and pricing

The new-generation Nissan Kicks, launched earlier in Brazil, has now arrived in Argentina—and there the headline isn’t the styling or the engine, it’s the price. The crossover is imported from Brazil and offered in three trims: Sense, Advance, and Exclusive.

Technically, there’s little to surprise: the same 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbo with direct injection and a dual-clutch transmission, shared with the related Renault Kardian. For Argentina it’s set up to run on gasoline only, so output is capped at 120 hp.

This is where it gets interesting: every trim, once converted, lands north of 37,000 US dollars. The base Kicks Sense starts at roughly 37,150 dollars and, even at entry level, brings 17-inch wheels, full LED lighting, a 7-inch digital cluster, climate control, and the Nissan Connect infotainment system with a 12.3-inch display, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and USB-C. The safety suite lists adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, a camera and rear sensors, TPMS, ESP/TC, ISOFIX mounts, and six airbags.

The mid-spec Advance is priced at about 40,660 dollars: it adds wireless charging, remote start, and a handful of everyday conveniences. The range-topping Exclusive—around 42,000 dollars—leans on the wow factor with a panoramic roof, 19-inch wheels, rain and light sensors, power-folding mirrors, ambient lighting, a 12.3-inch digital panel, and leatherette trim. The package clearly aims to justify the ask, yet the price tag is bound to dominate the discussion.
