      El Kait fabricado en Brasil podría ser en realidad solo la antigua Kicks Play disfrazada.

      Debería estar impulsado por el mismo motor de cuatro cilindros y 1,6 litros que la Kicks Play.

      Nissan planea fabricar el Kait y lo exportará a más de 20 mercados.

      La creciente gama de SUV de Nissan pronto recibirá una nueva incorporación. La marca confirmó durante el Japan Mobility Show en Tokio que fabricará un nuevo modelo en su planta de Río de Janeiro, Brasil, conocido como Kait. Este modelo estará destinado principalmente a América Latina, pero se venderá en varios otros mercados globales.

      Se ha publicado una sola imagen teaser del nuevo modelo. Adelanta el portón trasero del Kait y nos ofrece un vislumbre de las luces traseras LED. Nissan señala que es el segundo modelo anunciado como parte de la inversión de 540 millones de dólares en Brasil y que se venderá junto a otros modelos en América Latina como el Magnate, Kicks, X-Trail y Pathfinder.

      Curiosamente, aunque la parte trasera del Kait parece única, los informes indican que en realidad no será un modelo totalmente nuevo.

      Se ha sugerido que el Kait será simplemente una versión rediseñada de la Kicks de primera generación que existe desde 2016 y que recientemente fue renombrada como Kicks Play para dejar espacio a la Kicks de segunda generación en la gama de Nissan.

      En ciertos mercados, como Brasil, la marca japonesa vende tanto la Kicks totalmente nueva como la antigua Kicks Play, y parece que el Kait funcionará como una versión actualizada de esta última.

      Si este fuera el caso, entonces el Kait compartirá la misma plataforma que la Kicks Play y probablemente tendrá dimensiones muy similares, incluida la misma distancia entre ejes de 103 pulgadas (2.620 mm). El Kait probablemente conservará las mismas opciones de motor que la Kicks Play.

      Esto significa que debería ofrecerse con un motor atmosférico de cuatro cilindros y 1,6 litros diseñado para funcionar con gasolina o etanol, muy extendido en Brasil. Acoplada a este motor habrá una transmisión CVT que mueve las ruedas delanteras.

      Nissan no ha dicho cuándo se presentará el Kait. Sin embargo, se confirmó que será exportado desde Brasil a más de 20 países.

Despite the positive outlook, Barra signaled potential reductions, stating, “it is now clear that near-term EV adoption will be lower than planned. That is why we are reassessing our EV capacity and manufacturing footprint.” Nevertheless, she emphasized that “electric vehicles remain our North Star,” despite new investments in internal combustion engine vehicles.
