The Nissan KICKS e-POWER sets a new standard in performance and efficiency, delivering an outstanding fuel economy of 21.7 km/L. With this remarkable efficiency, drivers can expect a range of up to 900 km on a full tank, making it an ideal choice for long-distance travellers and urban commuters alike. Under the hood, the KICKS is powered by Nissan’s advanced second-generation e-POWER system, offering a robust output of 129PS and an impressive 280Nm of torque. This system is paired with a 2.06 kWh lithium-ion battery, which supports smooth and powerful acceleration, reflecting the essence of an electric vehicle.
The KICKS e-POWER provides a versatile driving experience with four distinct modes: ECO, SPORT, STANDARD, and EV. These modes allow drivers to tailor their driving preferences to different road conditions and personal preferences. Adding to its innovative features, the e-Pedal Step system simplifies driving by enabling single-pedal operation. This system proves particularly useful in urban environments with frequent stop-and-go traffic or on winding roads where precision control is essential. Furthermore, the KICKS e-POWER reduces tailpipe emissions by 20% compared to similar internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, contributing significantly to a greener future.

Complementing these features, the vehicle’s robust body structure and seven airbags ensure a high level of protection for all occupants.
