Select from a vibrant palette of seven exterior colors, such as Night Blue, Gun Metallic, Storm White, Black Star, Radiant Red, Monarch Orange, and Brilliant Silver, to match your style and personality.

Embrace the future of eco-friendly driving with the new Nissan Kicks e-Power – a compelling choice for those who care about the environment. Experience the next generation of electric mobility.

The 2nd Generation e-POWER, developed by Nissan under the concept of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, brings an exciting and heart-pounding experience to the forefront. This innovative system continues to utilize electric motors for propulsion, while employing a small internal combustion engine to act as a power generator, ensuring a seamless flow of high-power electricity into the lithium-ion battery. This means you can enjoy the benefits of electric driving without worrying about external charging or hunting for charging stations.

Within the 2nd Generation e-POWER system, Nissan has combined the inverter and electric motor into a single unit, reducing the inverter’s size by 40% and its weight by 30%. Moreover, the lithium-ion battery capacity has increased to 2.06 kWh, making the engine work less frequently to generate electricity. This leads to reduced vibrations and noise during engine startup.

The internal combustion engine in the e-POWER system operates at its most efficient range to produce electricity, while delivering exceptional fuel efficiency. It retains the HR12DE 1.2-liter 3-cylinder DOHC engine, serving as the electricity generator for crucial components like the inverter and electric motor. These components provide a peak power output of 136 PS and a maximum torque of 280 Nm, complemented by the 2.06 kWh lithium-ion battery comprising 4 modules with a total of 96 cells. This setup ensures smooth acceleration, a quiet ride, and highly efficient fuel economy, with up to 23.8 kilometers per liter in terms of fuel efficiency and an impressive 26.3 kilometers per liter for city driving.

New Technological Advancements:

Equipped with a 2.06 kWh battery, providing continuous power and increased torque for a more exhilarating and powerful acceleration.

The electric motor operates silently and introduces the enhanced “e-Pedal step” smart acceleration technology, allowing for both acceleration and deceleration with a single pedal press, offering a smoother driving experience.

Fresh Look:

Sporting a modern design, the debut of the Autech model brings a sporty, stylish exterior that appeals to the taste of the new generation.

Inside the cabin, luxury is elevated with a central console and a redesigned electric gear shift, complemented by premium materials and unique interior touches. The black roof, along with exterior metallic silver accents, adds an extra layer of luxury to the Autech model.

Safety and Convenience:

The comprehensive 360° Safety Shield technology ensures all-around safety, providing peace of mind on the road.

Stay connected with ease using Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, enhancing your driving experience. The new central console is designed to seamlessly integrate with the driver’s ergonomics, and the adjustable seats cater to all driving needs.

Normal Mode: This mode offers excellent acceleration and feels like driving a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle. It includes the D mode for regular driving and the B mode that enhances regenerative braking, reducing brake usage and increasing the recharging of the electric power.

Sport Mode: For improved driving performance, this mode enhances acceleration and responsiveness, making your driving experience even more thrilling.

ECO Mode: Focusing on a smoother driving experience, the ECO mode optimizes the e-POWER system to reduce energy consumption. It ensures the highest efficiency in fuel and electric energy usage, making it an eco-friendly choice.

EV Mode: This mode transforms the vehicle into an all-electric drive, utilizing the remaining energy stored in the battery. The engine remains inactive until the battery’s charge drops to a low level, providing a quiet and efficient driving experience.

The “e-Pedal Step” intelligent acceleration technology works in synergy with Sport MODE and ECO MODE (both in D and B positions). When you release the accelerator pedal, the vehicle gently decelerates, with the speed decreasing to as low as 5 km/h (depending on load and road conditions). This enhances convenience and ease of driving in various situations, such as maintaining safe following distances, navigating downhill slopes, and navigating community areas. It also adds confidence to your driving experience with smooth speed reduction when approaching curves. Moreover, the “e-Pedal Step” technology allows the vehicle to recharge the battery when slowing down or releasing the accelerator pedal, enhancing the driving range.
