One key feature of the Nissan Kicks is something Nissan calls the gliding wing dash. Kind of does look like a wing of some sort actually.
Aside from that we can see a two-tone color scheme which is nice, always like a separation.
Analog gauges with a screen that gives you your fuel readout and some other readouts.
Three-spoke steering wheel with a flat bottom (personal favorite part)
This site here gives quite a lot of info on the Nissan Kicks, so I'll leave the link below
The interior has a two-tone color scheme, with light brown used for the seats, the front face of the dash, and the insert that surrounds the pull handle on the door trims. The carpeting looks like felt, with a sculpted look and tight lights up front. The rear portion of the center console sits below the seats and features dual cup holders, a small storage cavity, and the hand brake. Farther up, the center console elevates to house the gear shifter and another storage pocket. The HVAC controls are positioned between the center stack and the center console and looks like a futuristic representation of the old-school, dual-knob radios of the past. The same color scheme is carried over in the rear seating area. It looks like the rear seats feature a 60-40 split, but there is also a rear deck behind the seats, which seems rather odd, given the CUV nature of the vehicle.
Voice commands are great, but the programming needed to recognize a variety of speech and phrases are daunting. Even my Google system doesn't recognize my voice sometimes.
Car makers are planning to integrate Andriod and Apple systems so down the road it will get better and scary. Services like Alexa will be very streamlined as long as you're using it in other aspects of your life.
Part of that should have to do with the system learning your voice so if you're willing to be patient through all of that odds are it will work just as intended or as you expected it to.
I'd be happy if automakers just fine tunes the how the infotainment systems perform non verbally, even now there are always problems cropping up and people would prefer those get an upgrade than voice recognition and control.
I believe that Nissan is aiming towards a younger audience with the Kick, and its great to see them putting some focus into the sound system. I really like the idea of having Bose speakers mounted directly into the headrests, and as an audiophile I'm eager to hear what they sound like.
