The Nissan Kicks e-Power 1.2 EL (2023) is a small hybrid crossover SUV that redefines everyday driving in the Philippines with its innovative e-Power system and smart feature set. This car blends the instant torque of an electric motor with the convenience of a petrol engine, offering a uniquely responsive and efficient ride.
Under the hood, a 1.2-liter inline-4 naturally aspirated engine works as a generator to power an electric motor that delivers 136 PS and 280 Nm of torque directly to the front wheels via an automatic single-speed gear reduction transmission. The result is smooth, immediate acceleration without the need for a conventional gearbox. Combined with a 41-liter fuel tank and MacPherson strut front suspension, the Kicks e-Power is perfectly tuned for Philippine roads.
