Last week, Nissan Kicks was unveiled in India. Ahead of its launch in early 2019, reports say that it will get a 360-degree camera. Here is the video of the camera working in the Kicks.
Nissan Kicks India-spec was recently unveiled. We got a look of its exteriors only, which looks identical to the global-spec Kicks. The launch of the SUV is going to happen in the early months of 2019. While the testing and spying of the Kicks is increasing, reports say that it might get a 360-degree camera. This feature is usually found in high-end cars and not in a car that might be priced between Rs 10-15 Lakhs. If the Kicks gets this feature, it will stand out of the crowd very effectively.

As we see the video, the touchscreen display is divided into two parts. The left-hand part gives an aerial view of the car while the right-hand one is the rear parking camera. Along with it, you can see coloured guidelines which adjust according to the movement of the steering wheel. When you pull the gear in reverse, automatically these two views will pop up on the infotainment screen.

You can manually change the view of the camera as well. As shown in the video, with the help of a button, both the sections of the screen can be utilized for either side view or front view. In the video, after the aerial view, you can see the user switching to the left-hand view of the car.
Nissan Kicks will not have the same set of the infotainment system from the video. The Kicks will get a 8-inch touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto, Mirror Link and Apple CarPlay.
