Kicks vs Captur vs Duster vs Creta

The New Nissan Kicks Against the Hyundai Creta, Renault Duster and Renault Captur

The new Nissan Kicks is here and it will be aiming to go against vehicles like the Hyundai Creta, Renault Duster and the Renault Captur. We compare the specs of these cars on paper and here is where the Kicks stands. For this comparison, we shall consider the top of the line diesel engines of each car, let us start with the engines and performance figures.

Kicks vs Captur vs Duster vs Creta

Nissan Kicks Renault Captur Renault Duster Hyundai Creta
Engine capacity 1.5-litre 1.5-litre 1.5-litre 1.6-litre
Power figure 108 hp 108 hp 108 hp 126 hp
Peak torque 245 Nm 240 Nm 245 Nm 260 Nm
Transmission 6-speed manual -6-speed manual -6-speed manual
-5-speed AMT
-6-speed manual
-6-speed automatic

The Creta seems to be the winner here with a larger engine but the torque figures are almost at par with the others. The Kicks, unfortunately, misses out on an automatic gearbox. The Duster offers an AMT but the Creta uses a proper torque converter which is much better than an AMT gearbox. Now let us compare the dimensions of the cars.
