Malaysia Autoshow 2024: Nissan showcases the Kicks e-Power SUV

KUALA LUMPUR: Nissan Malaysia first teased the Kicks e-Power in its Chinese New Year greeting clip back in 2022. Now, almost two years later, the Japanese automaker brought this electrified SUV to the Malaysian Autoshow in 2024.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When will the Nissan Kicks e-Power launch in Malaysia?

    There is no information yet available on the Nissan Kicks e-Power launch in Malaysia.
  • What is Nissan e-Power technology?

    The Nissan e-Power technology is a unique electric-drive powertrain that combines a gasoline engine with a motor. Unlike conventional hybrid setups, the engine generates electricity, and the electric motor drives the wheels.
  • The model on display is the facelifted version of the first-gen Kicks that made its global debut in 2020, not the second-gen Kicks recently unveiled in the US. It is equipped with the brand’s e-Power technology, which combines a 1.2-litre DOHC 12-valve three-cylinder engine and a front-mounted electric motor. Together, the system generates a maximum power of 136 PS and a peak torque of 280 Nm.

    Also, part of the drivetrain is a 1.57 kWh battery pack positioned under the front seats. The four selectable driving modes are - EV, Normal, Sport, and Eco.

    If we talk about fuel efficiency, the Nissan Kicks e-Power is said to consume 2.2-litre per 100 kilometres.

    The SUV is 4,290 mm long, 1,760 mm wide, and 1,610 mm tall and has a 2,615 mm wheelbase. The ground clearance and minimum turning radius are 182 mm and 5.100 mm, respectively.

    In terms of aesthetics, the Nissan Kicks e-Power has a young and sporty appearance. Key highlights include a V-motion front grille and boomerang-shaped LED headlights, LED tail lights, and 17-inch wheels. The cabin comes equipped with an 8-inch infotainment unit with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity options, a 7-inch TFT digital metre cluster, Zero-Gravity seats, and an e-Pedal Step.

    While the Nissan Kicks e-Power preview at the MAS 2024 hints at its soon arrival in Malaysia, the automaker remained tight-lipped on the matter. However, if it sees the light of day, the Nissan electrified SUV will directly compete against the Honda HR-V e:HEV RS and the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid in the local market.
