Nissan Kicks for Export from Dubai

The Nissan Kicks is one of the cheapest ways to put a modern crossover on a ship, and the reason is the engine. At around 1.6 litres it sits in the lowest band of almost every duty schedule assessed on displacement, which on a car already priced near the bottom of our catalogue means the landed cost stays low even in markets where import charges are punishing. That is the whole commercial case and it is a strong one. The complication is the name: Nissan has sold two quite different things as a Kicks in different parts of the world, one with an ordinary petrol engine and one with a series-hybrid drivetrain, and the paperwork needs to say which you bought. Dubai stock spans 2017 to 2025. This page covers the specification, the drivetrain question, buying and shipping, the export steps, tiers, paperwork and destinations.

Vehicle specifications

The Kicks is a compact five-seat crossover with a transverse four-cylinder petrol engine driving the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission. Gulf cars typically run around 1.6 litres. It is a front-wheel-drive car throughout — there is no all-wheel-drive version — with raised ride height and crossover styling over what is mechanically a small hatchback platform. Equipment on later cars runs to a touchscreen with smartphone mirroring, a surround-view camera and a driver-assistance package, and the SV and higher trims add a good deal over the base car.

Two things to confirm against the VIN before you agree a price. First, the drivetrain: some markets receive a series-hybrid version marketed as e-POWER, in which the petrol engine acts as a generator and only the electric motor drives the wheels. Gulf stock is generally the conventional petrol car, but the two are taxed, serviced and registered differently, so confirm which one you are buying rather than assuming from the badge. Second, the trim level, since the equipment gap between the base car and an SV is wide and the exterior barely shows it.

Nissan Kicks Export Dubai: logistics and buying process

On OneClickDrive you deal directly with the seller. To buy a Nissan Kicks for export from Dubai, browse the live listings, filter by model year, trim and mileage, then contact Dubai's Nissan Kicks export dealers by phone, WhatsApp or callback. There is no agent in between and no commission added. Confirm the drivetrain, the trim, the model year, the mileage, the service history and the VIN, and ask for current photographs rather than stock images.

Two checks matter on an affordable car that has covered real distance. First, on the CVT gearbox, ask whether the transmission fluid has been serviced on schedule — neglect here is the expensive failure on this drivetrain and it shows in neither a photograph nor a short drive. Second, ask about previous use, because a proportion of this stock has done rental or fleet duty at high mileage. That is not a problem in itself on a car this simple, but the service and accident history matter considerably more than the odometer reading alone.

Shipping is as straightforward as it gets. The Kicks is a small, light, conventional car with no drive battery on the petrol versions, so none of the dangerous-goods rules that complicate electric shipping apply and it takes up little space. Roll-on roll-off is the economical route and suits this price bracket well; container shipping is worth considering mainly if you are moving several at once, since more than one will fit. Once you agree a price, the seller or their freight forwarder arranges the booking, the customs filing and the bill of lading.

Step by step: choose your model year, drivetrain and trim; confirm colour, interior and equipment; receive an export quotation covering shipping and documentation; secure the booking with a verified payment option; then take delivery worldwide by sea or overland. The dealer handles everything from inspection to export documentation and customs clearance.

Export process and requirements

For a used car registered in the UAE, clear any fines, Salik or finance first, with a bank No-Objection Certificate where the car was financed. The RTA then de-registers it and issues temporary export plates and the Export Certificate, which cancels the local registration and replaces the registration card, the Mulkiya. The export is declared to Dubai Customs, and GCC destinations need a Vehicle Clearance Certificate to register on arrival. Most Kicks stock takes this route.

The engine size is the reason to buy this car, and it deserves stating plainly. At around 1.6 litres the Kicks falls into the lowest or second-lowest band of virtually every duty schedule assessed on displacement. On a vehicle already near the bottom of our price range, that combination is what makes it viable in markets where import charges would rule out a larger crossover entirely. Confirm the capacity on the invoice so the low band is applied rather than assumed. Against that, the age limit is the binding constraint here: stock reaches back to 2017, and markets refusing imports beyond five or eight years will exclude exactly the cheapest cars on the page. Establish your cut-off before you shortlist, then filter the model years to match.

Available export models and pricing

The Nissan Kicks export price in Dubai depends on model year, trim, mileage and condition, so the live listings always show current prices as stock turns over. The cheapest Nissan Kicks export from Dubai is generally an earlier car with higher mileage, and the entry point here is among the lowest in the catalogue — which is exactly why the age limit deserves checking before the price does. Later cars in SV and higher trims sit above them, and the newest model years command a premium in markets with strict age rules. If you want to export Nissan Kicks Dubai stock in volume rather than a single car, tell the seller the model year and trim up front; stock is deep enough here for a batch, and a consistent specification simplifies registration at the other end.

Required export documentation

For a used car registered in the UAE: the original registration card or Mulkiya, the RTA Export Certificate and temporary export plates, a bank NOC if the car was financed, clearance of fines and Salik, and insurance for the export plates valid for about 14 days. This is the usual route on this model.

For both: the buyer's passport or Emirates ID and the seller's ID on a used transfer, the sale invoice showing the price and VIN, the Dubai Customs export declaration, a VCC for GCC destinations, and a Bill of Lading. Check two details here: that the engine capacity is stated, because the low duty band is the entire economic case for this car and a document that omits it leaves the rate to the officer's discretion; and that the drivetrain is named, conventional petrol or hybrid, since the two are treated differently and registered differently in the markets that receive both. Confirm the model year against the VIN, since the age limit is calculated from it. Keep originals and copies, and check the drive-side and Certificate of Conformity rules.

Key locations and hubs

• RTA Tasjeel and Al Aweer centres: de-registration, export plates and the Export Certificate.
• Dubai Customs: the export declaration and VCC.
• Jebel Ali Port, JAFZA: the main sea gateway, and the RoRo route that suits this price bracket.
• Overland borders: Al Ghuwaifat for Saudi Arabia, and the Hatta or Oman crossings for GCC road exports.

Popular export destinations for the Nissan Kicks

Affordable crossovers go almost everywhere, and the low duty band widens the map further than the price alone would. Across East and West Africa the Kicks works as private transport and as a ride-hailing vehicle, with steady demand from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Zambia and Senegal, and Nissan's parts coverage is broad enough that servicing is rarely the obstacle. North Africa follows, particularly Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Libya. The GCC and wider Middle East is the most straightforward route and moves overland easily to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iraq and Jordan, with a VCC required. South and Central Asia buy consistently, especially where duty is banded steeply on engine size — Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan among them. In nearly every case the age limit rather than the duty is what decides the purchase, so confirm the exact model year against the VIN first.
