Nissan’s All-New Sub-Compact SUV, The Kicks e-POWER In Philippines

The all-new Nissan Kicks e-POWER has officially launched in the Philippines, furthering Nissan's electrification leadership in the country.

Comes in threes, the top variant e-POWER VL tags at PHP 1,509,000 (MYR 120,677), the e-POWER VE at PHP 1,309,000 (MYR 104,683), and the e-POWER EL at PHP 1,209,000 (MYR 96,685).

These prices are with a 5-year or 150,000 km warranty period covering the vehicle, e-POWER system and the battery.

Nissan Philippines’ president, Juan Manuel Hoyos, expressed, "Launching the all-new Nissan Kicks e-POWER in the country is one of the most significant moves in bringing EV adoption closer to the Filipino motorist, and taking the Philippines towards full electric mobility. We believe that this vehicle will be a game-changer in the market by providing an EV-like drive with compromising fuel-efficiency and cost of ownership. We want to get to a stage where sustainability and carbon neutrality is not just a goal, but a reality that every person can live with our technology."

Built on Nissan's innovative DNA, all three variants boast a fully electric motor that delivers 134 HP (136 PS) of power and 280 Nm of torque. 

At the same time, its 1.2-litre DOHC 12-valve, three-cylinder engine is used solely to charge the battery while running at an optimal speed, improving fuel efficiency in different driving situations.

Further adding to its amazing fuel efficiency, the all-new Kicks e-POWER is also equipped with regenerative braking.

Based on UNR101 fuel efficiency testing, the vehicle runs 22 km/l to 25km/l for different driving and traffic conditions. 

This consumption is twice as efficient compared with other conventional internal combustion engines (ICE) in the same segment. 

With a total fuel tank capacity of 41 litres, it offers a potential driving range of up to 900 to 1,000 km in just one full tank.

Plus, the new e-Pedal Step feature also enables easier and more comfortable driving, having only to use the accelerator pedal to speed up or slow down. The brake pedal is still present.

Exterior-wise, the all-new Kicks e-POWER exudes a sporty look with its sleek, black, double V-Motion grilles, LED signature rear, head and front fog lights, and a silver-toned roof rail.

Bold exterior colours heighten Nissan's signature style on this sub-compact SUV. It comes in Premium Corona Orange, Cayenne Red, Pearl White, Gun Metallic, Riptide Blue and Brilliant Silver. 

Inside, it gets a 7-inch colour TFT display meter with the power meter, battery gauge, drive range, and fuel gauge set in an easy-to-read layout, and an infotainment system that's easily within reach. 

Speaking of which, the VL and VE variants feature Nissan's 8-inch advanced touchscreen display that supports Apple Carplay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth.

Then, its Zero Gravity Seats provide both comfort and style, as does the D-shaped leather steering wheel and the Electronic Parking Brake switch with auto hold function.

Safety-wise, all three variants come with the standard Hill Start Assist, while the e-POWER VL and e-POWER VE have the Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Emergency Braking, Vehicle Dynamic Control, and the Driver Attention Alert features. 

Additionally, the flagship VL variant also comes with an Intelligent Around View Monitor that is equipped with Moving Object Detection. 

Other features include keyless entry with the Intelligent Key and push button engine start-stop systems.

Overall, in a true mix of style and substance, the all-new Nissan Kicks e-POWER fits the wide range of needs of motorists who want power and efficiency, smart functionality and a signature look all in a single vehicle.
