The Nissan Kicks e-Power 1.2 VL (2023) redefines compact crossover driving with a unique series-hybrid system that blends electric-motor torque with petrol efficiency. This car delivers instant, smooth acceleration without ever needing a plug, making it a smart choice for modern Filipino roads.
Under the skin, the Nissan Kicks e-Power uses a 1.2-litre inline-4 naturally aspirated engine (1198cc, DOHC 12-valve) solely as a generator for the electric motor. The motor produces 136 PS and a robust 280 Nm of torque, channeled through an Automatic Single Speed Gear Reduction to the front wheels. This setup gives you the responsive, quiet feel of an EV with the convenience of a petrol car, all while promising impressive stop-and-go refinement.
