Chevrolet Tracker and Nissan Kicks Receive Important Updates in 2025, with New 1.0 Turbo Engines, More Technology, and Visual Changes

The compact SUV segment in Brazil is set to get two important updates in 2025. Chevrolet Tracker and Nissan Kicks arrive with visual updates, turbocharged engines, and more technology.

Both are among the best-selling models in the category and are now preparing to maintain relevance in an increasingly competitive market.

New Tracker: More Power and Hybrid Version on the Way

The Chevrolet Tracker will be the first to debut. Scheduled to arrive in the first half of the year, GM’s SUV will undergo a facelift and also receive an all-new flex hybrid version.

New Kicks

The second generation of the Nissan Kicks is also debuting this year and is already being produced at the Resende factory in Rio de Janeiro.

The new model features profound design changes, to the point of surprising those who see the SUV for the first time.

The front boasts a slatted grille that cuts through the headlight and separates the set of LED daytime running lights. At the rear, the inverted “L” shaped taillights are positioned just below the glass of the trunk lid.

Internally, the new Kicks will have a dashboard with two integrated screens, both measuring 12 inches. The model will use the 1.0 three-cylinder turbo engine with direct injection from Horse, the same engine that powers the Renault Kardian.

In its original version, the HR10DDT engine produces 110 hp and 20.4 kgfm with gasoline.

With flex technology in the Kardian, the number increases to 120 hp and 125 hp with ethanol. Nissan has yet to reveal the official figures for the Kicks, but the engine is expected to undergo adjustments.

The new engine will be produced in Resende with the same components from Horse, and it is anticipated to have its own identity within Nissan’s lineup.

The automaker is also expected to use a different transmission than the automated one from the Kardian. Nissan is known for the good performance of its CVT transmission, which may indicate its application in the new SUV.

Competition Between Two Giants of the Segment

In addition to the new engine, the Kicks has also grown in size. The SUV now measures 4.37 meters in length, 2.66 m in wheelbase, 1.80 m in width, and 1.63 m in height.

The dimensions bring the model closer to medium SUVs, such as the Jeep Compass. The price of the new Kicks is expected to range between R$ 150,000 and R$ 180,000.

With these changes, both the Tracker and Kicks promise to shake up the Brazilian compact SUV market. The debuts are expected to happen in the first half of 2024, marking a new phase for two of the best-selling models in the country.

Competition Between Two Giants of the Segment

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.

GAC Aion UT lands in Brazil for R$ 135,990 as the most affordable electric car in the country with over 200 hp, surpasses BYD Dolphin in size, features a 360 camera, and offers up to 310 km of range to challenge Chinese rivals.

Mitsubishi confirms the triumphant return of a car beloved by Brazilians that was discontinued after almost 40 years, based on the Triton, 4×4, and targets rival Toyota Land Cruiser in a plan of 13 SUVs.

With a twin-cylinder engine of 49.6 hp and a range exceeding 400 km, the new Honda NX500 2027 debuts with a 5” TFT panel, Showa suspension, HSTC torque control, dual-channel ABS, and unlimited mileage warranty.
