Nissan Philippines ushers in a new generation of its electrified subcompact SUV with the launch of the all-new Nissan Kicks e-POWER. First introduced in the Philippines in 2022, the Kicks brought Nissan’s unique e-POWER technology to the subcompact crossover segment, offering a distinct driving experience through its range-anxiety-free EV performance.
Four years after its Philippine introduction, the new Kicks builds on this foundation with Nissan’s proven e-POWER technology, with new features, and design updates that enhance its overall driving experience. The new Kicks brings these enhancements together to deliver a more confident, comfortable, and connected drive, while retaining the responsive performance that has become a defining part of the Kicks experience.
An EV with no range anxiety
At the heart of the Kicks is Nissan e-POWER, delivering a 100% electric motor-driven experience with 136ps and 280Nm of torque. Its self-charging system uses a 1.2-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine to charge the battery, while the electric motor exclusively drives the wheels. This setup delivers the responsive feel of electric performance, without requiring drivers to change their refueling habits.
Interior built for everyday life
Inside, the new Kicks is designed to make everyday journeys more pleasant and convenient for both drivers and passengers. Nissan’s Zero Gravity seats are designed to support a comfortable seating position, while anti-heat leather upholstery helps reduce heat buildup in warm conditions. For rear passengers, an optimized seatback angle and a rear armrest contribute to a more relaxed ride, while the 6-way power-adjustable driver’s seat allows drivers to find a more personalized driving position.
The cabin also features a 12.3-inch Display Audio system with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with NissanConnect Services with a three-year subscription, giving drivers more access to connectivity features while on the road.
Bold new exterior
The new Kicks features a refreshed exterior design that gives the subcompact SUV a more modern and expressive look. The updated front end combines Nissan’s signature V-Motion grille with a new lighting signature, while the triple-arrow Daytime Running Lights add a sharper visual identity.
At the rear, Nissan’s signature hexagon-shaped rear lamps reinforce the Kicks’ styling with a clean look that stands out day and night. Complementing the vehicle’s bold design are improved headlights that deliver wider and longer illumination, providing a clearer view of the road and enhancing visibility in low-light conditions.
Enhanced safety with Nissan ProPILOT
Advanced driver-assistance technology is also a key part of the All-New Nissan Kicks e-POWER, led by Nissan ProPILOT. Designed to help reduce driving stress, particularly on highways and longer journeys, the system assists with steering, acceleration, and braking through features such as Intelligent Lane Keep Assist (LKA), which helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane, and Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC), which helps maintain a preset speed and safe distance from the vehicle ahead. ProPILOT can also bring the vehicle to a stop and resume driving with its Traffic Jam Assist, helping make daily commutes and long drives more convenient.
The new Nissan Kicks e-POWER also comes with 12 additional safety and driver-assistance technologies, including:
- Leading Car Departure Notification (LCDN)
- Intelligent Forward Collision Warning (IFCW)
- Intelligent Forward Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection (IFEB)
- Blind Spot Warning with Blind Spot Intervention (BSW + BSI)
- Lane Departure Warning with Lane Departure Prevention (LDW + LDP)
- Rear Automatic Emergency Braking (RAEB)
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
- Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection (IAVM + MOD)
- High Beam Assist (HBA)
- Driver Attention Alert (DAA)
The launch further expands Nissan Philippines’ growing electrified vehicle lineup, joining the Nissan X-Trail e-POWER in bringing Nissan’s unique technology to more Filipino drivers. With the addition of the all-new Kicks, Nissan continues to give Filipino customers more opportunities to experience its approach to electrified mobility.
“The Philippines is an important market for Nissan, and we are grateful for the trust Filipino customers continue to place in our brand,” said Nissan Philippines President Yoshinori Kanazawa. “The all-new Nissan Kicks e-POWER represents a new chapter for a nameplate that has become familiar to Filipino drivers. We are excited to introduce this new generation and invite customers to discover the new Nissan Kicks that are made for those who are ready to explore and Live Daring.”
