Nissan begins international shipments of the Kait SUV
Nissan has initiated the Nissan Kait exports Brazil program, shipping the newly launched compact SUV from its Resende Industrial Complex in Rio de Janeiro. Paraguay becomes the first international market to receive the model, which has been available in the Brazilian market since December.
Compact SUV specifications and powertrain
The Kait measures 4.30 meters in length and features a 2.62-meter wheelbase, offering a trunk capacity of 432 liters. The SUV is powered by a 1.6-liter 16-valve engine paired with an XTRONIC CVT transmission. It is offered in six different versions designed to address varying customer preferences.
Export expansion strategy
The Nissan Kait exports Brazil initiative forms part of the automaker’s broader regional expansion strategy. The model will serve both the domestic Brazilian market and international destinations, with plans to ship the vehicle to more than 20 countries.
Investment program strengthens production capacity
The Kait represents the second SUV introduced under Nissan’s BRL 2.8 billion investment program in Brazil. The initiative included upgrades to manufacturing equipment, improvements in production processes, and the creation of around 400 new jobs at the Resende facility.
The Resende plant has already exported more than 100,000 vehicles, and the first SUV introduced under the same investment cycle was the updated Nissan Kicks launched in July of the previous year.
