A manufacturer in the automotive world shaking hands with manufacturers in other industries is normal. But this collaboration between Nissan and New Balance could result in new business, which isn’t uncommon with the Nissan Kicks 327 that everyone is seeing right now.

The Nissan Kicks 327 Edition is a collaborative design project between two well-known manufacturers.  The purpose is to create activities and promote the products of both brands in the eyes of Japanese customers.

The specialty of these kicks can already be seen from the outside by wrapping the entire vehicle. It’s the same pattern as the face of New Balance’s most popular shoe, the 327. It might look like a giant shoe.

Therefore, in order not to make the car look too much like a boot while the right side of the car still uses the white N logo pattern, like the original boot. But the right side of the car will change to make a graphic of the car’s logo with the sub-model’s full name instead, which is “Kicks e-Power x 4WD.”

But even if I said I didn’t want it to be too similar but in the end , this particular kicks . It also comes with a roof hood designed to have shoelace-like parts. And the upper edge of the shoe is added anyway

Of course, in terms of other technical details of the car. It had absolutely no modifications either. It had a 3-cylinder petrol engine, code HR12DE, with a volume of 1,198 cc, which still produced a maximum power of 79 PS at 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 103 Nm at 4,800 rpm. , but it is not used to drive the car wheel set.

Since this is the duty of the electric motor,

The maximum power of 136 PS and maximum torque of 280 Nm are used to drive the front wheels.

And because the car is an all-wheel drive model, it has another electric motor that produces a maximum power of 68 horsepower (PS) at 4,775 – 10,259 rpm and a maximum torque of 100 Nm at 0 – 4,775 rpm, where the battery equals suspension and brakes. And the wheels are all the same.

The Nissan Kicks Edition 327 will be on display at the Nissan Crossing Innovation Center located in Ginza, Tokyo, for Japanese customers to take photos and upload to Twitter. For participating in the “Catch the Kicks” activity , the first prize is a Nissan Kicks e-Power 4WD vehicle. Give it to lucky customers. But there is no confirmation that it Kicks this special edition or not?
