2023 Nissan Kicks Review | Behind the Wheel

The cat’s out of the bag. Nissan Philippines is officially launching the Kicks subcompact crossover. Its main draw is Nissan’s e-POWER technology, which combines an internal combustion engine (ICE), a small battery pack, and an electric motor. This isn’t just another hybrid, however, as the tech is evidently unique enough to potentially make an impact in the local market.

This is just the sort of vehicle that is needed in the Philippines! With so little infrastructure for pure electric vehicles, it makes sense to have one that simply uses an ICE to power up the batteries, and therefore eliminate the problem of range anxiety! Hats off to Nissan for this one! Maraming maraming salamat po sa'yo sa iyong vlog!

How much is the battery replacement after 5 year? It would offset the fuel consumption savings

[@mahoganygamefarm730]

Ph is not ready for EV's, hybrid market and the likes. It is not cost effective owning one....

[@josephcadiao5751]

@@lucky889s9 That’s an IF and also applicable to ICE car’s transmission if it breaks down using your logic

[@lucky889s9]

@@josephcadiao5751 you own hybrid yet? Wait till it costs you silly when you need to replace the battery, after the warranty expires. My camry costs almost $4000 to replace with labor and taxes ICE transmission? That's what people say when they too lazy and cheap to have transmission serviced regularly. With ICE, the money you save for 5 years is real. With hybrid, the fuel money saving is actually used to replace the battery after 5 years. On top of that, you still have to do regulars: oil, filter, radiator, belt, etc. Going EV is more logical, hybrid not

[@josephcadiao5751]

​@@lucky889s9 I did not buy the kicks for fuel consumption, it's about the simplicity of the system. If I wanted to save money I'll go for a Raize. You're talking as if ICE parts won't ever break down. Also, toyota's hybrid is way different and is a redundant system.

[@tepbeltran4367]

Last Sunday, I test drove one. At that time I had no idea what the e-power means but when the dealer explainex how it works, I understood that this car would most definitely be fuel efficient. I love the responsiveness of the car in terms of acceleration and deceleration and the suspension is excellent too. Been thinking of getting one ever since.

[@alexsandergarcia9627]

I tried a few days ago and would like to share my experiences about it. (deep breaths, medyo mahaba to) 1. The instantaneous torque is REALLY INSTANT. Nakakatuwa talaga idrive. I do always drive economically pero I never had this much fun sa pagddrive 2. When the engine is off, the cabin feels different as we're used to the car having some shake when moving and the absence of the engine noise on low speed acceleration is a game changer (NVH can still be improved though) When the engine turns on, YOU WILL KNOW IT kasi may jerky feeling (hindi super but similar with the jerkiness when a car starts). 3. I wasn't able to get the fuel efficiency as I am not sure why they disabled the fuel efficiency monitor in the car through software. All I see is 10km/L and never changes. IT SHOULD CHANGE! Optimistic ako dito kasi alam ko na city dweller talaga ang mga ganitong klaseng sasakyan so if I'm buying the car for the fuel efficiency, is it not ok to know this? (sa ibang car reviews ng nissan they hide this thing. and I even saw one reviewer (sa ibang car naman ito pero same brand) na mayroon pang tape sa ibabaw nun. Why? ) 4. The Autohold works like as if you are engaging the EPB manually. There is a slight delay between (maybe 2 seconds) between the car halting to zero and engaging the EPB. Our car engages it INSTANTLY but this car doesn't. Same goes with the disengaging of the autohold. when you tap on the gas pedal it waits for around 2 seconds (kasi nga para kang nag press down ng EPB which really has a delay kasi EPB lang ata ang gamit nito sa autohold, hindi yung pagmaintain ng brake pressure.) I am not sure if on other cars, autohold works like this? or it works like our car? (ito yung parang pinaka ayaw ko dito) 5. Steering weight is light. nice for many newbies 6. 360 camera is passable. I think Coolray has a better image quality for the 360 camera. 7. Sarap upuan nung zero gravity seats. 8. On direct sun, you might want to use a tint. kasi walang air vent sa likod. Nainitan mga kasama ko. (puno to ah) (people say nissan has cold AC?) pero to be fair, hindi rin ako sure kung dahil hindi namin minax yung aircon or what. On our car, naka 25c ang setting namin sa AC pero comfortable naman yung peeps. 9. One pedal driving will reduce your brake pads wear by a LOT. especially kung naka sport mode ka. on other modes, less aggressive sya. 10. Regenerative braking is going to give you free ride but by how much? I do not know yet because I only had a brief moment with the car. Addendum: Despite the pros and cons, should we still consider it? YES. it is still on our short list of items but we just want to test the fuel efficiency numbers as that usually happens on standardized test, not on actual roads and actual use case and our driving habits. EDIT: added addendum and other points.

[@santosh911]

I agree with the commentator. Nissan really has chosen the best bridge between a full EV and an ICE car. And it's affordability and lack of range limitation are both a big part of this. Very appropriate review. BTW, I'm from the opposite side of the world in Trinidad, yet the issues are exactly the same.

We only have this in a straight 1.6 liter gas engine model in the US, meant to take over the Nissan Juke's place. There's always the Nissan Leaf if you want an EV. But this e-power Kicks is a great compromise between EV and ICE.

[@johndoe-nt]

This is the "EV" that the oil companies dream of.

[@lholialnajibhajan1801]

Mr. Caco, you got me when you said "200km more to go, to drive, (unbelievable gibbering), THAT'S UNFAIR". Now I know I'll have to pass-by the nearest Nissan dealer hahahaha

[@ericbien2983]

Battery life span? Is the savings on gas will be reasonable enough to pay when the time battery needs to be replaced?

[@GreggTrinidad]

Dear Caco, one query, I think your consumption with the e power system is simply your liter cost/kw then kw cost/km. Basically, the ICE serves as a genset for the batteries and genset production usually cost a lot more than Meralco. It would have been better and more economical to have added a plug-in option. For its real mileage, by just computing the tank cost per trip will not be accurate as you have to get the initial cost of the battery charge in liter cost/kw plus the tank cost considering also the cost of the residual charge in the battery after the trip. In my experience, gensets are not efficient. just my two cents to be more accurate in cost per kilometer of this system... :)

[@krishjasonramos1617]

Does not make economic sense to add a plugin due to the small battery. Battery size is only 2.13kwh and a max charge(i think 80% - reduced to extend life of battery) can go for an approxiamte distance of 3.5km. so unless the car has a bigger battery, plugins are out. In the same essence, getting fuel economy the way caco and team did is a bit accurate, ther were probably only missing out in computing that extra 3.5km

[@Mhike177]

The idea on this is zero range anxiety. You do know the power plant that helps power up your car are also generated by petrol right? Just cuz you don’t see it during the drive, you will see it on your electric bill or maybe credit card when charging somewhere else away from home. Why not cut the middle man and not worry about hoping that there will be a plug somewhere along the way in long distance driving? Which EVs can’t really do in places without the charging infrastructure. Not to mention there is no need to wait and waste time while charging a vehicle. As soon as you refill, you’re ready to go like always. The pros on this Nissan car definitely outweighs the cons since it solves all the EV problems, which perhaps is the biggest factor why many don’t want to go EV other than the price.

[@aidzearceo9768]

I think the most important question here is how long before we see any battery charge deterioration and if needed how much will it cost to have the battery replaced? Since the car basically runs on an electric motor, is it safe to assume that if the battery no longer charges or deteriorates to the point that range is affected, the car no longer runs even with an internal combustion engine found under the hood.

[@citiusaltiusfortius141]

Same question. If the battery dies, would you end up in the middle of the road with a dead car? How long will the measly battery sustain the electric motor given our roads, flood and horrible traffic? How much does it cost to replace the battery pack and how often? Lastly, any word on the technology used by Nissan to cool the battery, given its position below the front seats?

[@kakabitan]

@@citiusaltiusfortius141 Yes. Your car will instantly die because it rely 100% on the batteries. Unlike Toyota Hybrids, the car will still run even with dead battery.

[@NicoAG_]

Same question here, just like cellphones, car battery efficiency deteriorates over time, for how long can we enjoy this before changing the battery altogether and for how much?

[@NicoAG_]

@@kakabitan you have a point there, since the gas engine doesn't contribute to the car moving it forward, it is the reason why it is affordable.

[@arvinsheet]

Not sure if it's just me but having a gas engine in it overwhelmingly defeats its purpose. We've seen fuel-powered cars do 20km/L already so not really sure what this car is trying to prove.

[@kakabitan]

not yet tested in the city but for reference, the Toyota hybrid cross can do 15-17 on the city and 22 on the highway. Hyrbrids mileage on the Highway are the same as the ICE cars but it will be a different Scenario in City Driving. On a rush hour period I only get 9-10 km/l on a 3 cyclinder Celerio that's why I'm planning to buy a Cross hybrid instead.

Hi sir, i have 2 questions..1. Any idea about how many liters to fully charge the battery? 2. How many kilometers a fully charge battery can travel? Thanks in advance

[@VeeVeerawat]

1. Normally it never fully charge the battery. It's kind of 'top up' the battery while being used by the electric motor. The engine turns on and off every now and then just like any hybrid car. 2. It has a tiny 2KWh battery which in EV mode can go about 3.5 KM before the engine turn on. This is a 'series hybrid' car and not EV like what Nissan marketing wants you to believe.

[@loydireyes5054]

@@VeeVeerawat ok lets assume that the range is 3.5km, what if the battery is still at max charge (80% up), then the vehicle begins to start the 3.5km journey in EV mode. Question is, what if the driver suddenly floors the e-pedal, then he should not hear any engine revolution yet because the ice should still be powered off while the battery is full?

[@VeeVeerawat]

@@loydireyes5054 Yes. In the "forced EV mode" , the engine doesn't turn on when there's enough juice in the battery. However, flooring the pedal deplete the battery faster and so shorten the range.

Got a few questions of which i have not got the answer after doing research. Since the car is driven solely by the electric motor and the battery and with a small lithium battery on board (i dont know how small but i thought i read in some non-PH post that it is less than 5kwh, can anyone confirm?), i see 3 concerns 1) The inverter/charger is stressed more vs the typical hybrid system (ICE + E-motor). What is the warranty of the inverter/charger? To add this also drives the AC and other electronics. 2) The small battery is cycled many times a day (more than a smartphone) so the life of the lithium battery is much shorter than a smartphone 3) The original Chevy Volt was using this type of hybrid and they did not continue, i am curious as to why and why Toyota still preferred the Prius type

[@zodiacfml]

21:50 can we stop saying this infrastructure thing which you copied from reviewers from other countries? in the Philippines, it is a chicken and egg thing for public charging. second, the longest drives in the Philippines doesn't stretch too long. third, national highways in the country are filled with residents and gas stations, a charging station is trivial. The main reason is sticker price of cars, like solar power for homes which is actually no brainer, very few gets one because of price and lack of knowledge

[@RolfDarylTio]

[@victoro6651]

I wonder what the battery price would be. I think that's the #3 gating factor why owners don't just buy an EV because some of the prices may "Kick" to around 50K pesos to over 400K pesos for an EV, sure the battery may last 7-10 years to some, but it still a cost of a motorbike (or pre-owned car) that could due in after 10years of use.

Same question. Although, it doesn't require the same PMS as an ICE. The oil change alone will be at around 1000 to 10000 a year depending on how the owner gets it done.

[@lucky889s9]

You still have to maintain like a regular car, change oil, filter, radiator etc. And also don't forget the expensive battery after 5 years. So all the money saved is used to replace the battery. Basically maintaining a hybrid is more expensive. Also for resale, the potential buyer will ask "have the battery been replace?". If not, then resale price will take further hit. When the time comes with cheaper prices, better jump directly to EV.

Wishing for the X-Trail e-Power to come to our shores.

Best review

[@rodencalupig299]

I'm sensing a comparo real soon (I hope)... say with the corolla cross hybrid?

[@notyoHmama]

Nice to see hybrid/EVs coming in. Hoping for full EVs from more brands and also ev infrastructures and government support. Late na tayo sa EV adaptation pero ready na nga ba tayo?? ✌️🤟🤟

[@AntiJEVsInPH]

thumbs down 👎 to japanese EVs( Toyota bZ, nissan ariya, etc), thumbs up 👍 for jorean EVs

[@raymonjeffredileto3684]

I hope Nisaan will bring also X-Trail E-Power here in the Philippines.

I just watched the 2020 Altis video review. It was mentioned you can get up to 30km/l. So technically the altis is more fuel efficient than the kicks based on stats mentioned.

[@michaeljohnjugar703]

'Up to' is different than real world driving. What they did here is real world driving with no concern for fuel eco. I think he mentioned it. The 20.3km/L driving of Nissan Kicks is not hypermiling level but a bit spirited. Check Nissan Note as it can get more than 33km/L.

Awesome looks of the Nissan kicks, the e power will have to sink in to me because of the many choices to go green or clean..

[@markjamesabordo192]

Passat,toureg,golf,arteon,tiguan,polo,taigo,sana yan ang mga model na available sa volkswagen ph. You can never go wrong with a german made volkswagen,not sure about china ones.

[@dantelaxamana1149]

Good... descriptive and honest. It's just right not to oversell the features... Thanks man.

[@stebopign]

at 1.5ish. id say that is not a bad price. if they can put a similar engine on an auv.. that auv could sell extremely well.

[@alesterpadua7884]

why does it need a big engine to charge the batteries though? Isn't a 800cc or 600cc enough? I mean the engine doesn't really power the whole car

[@CrossCuntyRic]

because the batteries can easily deplete given hard acceleration. an 800cc generator may not handle the extreme voltage requirements to recharge.

[@felixramos9241]

Well I guess Nissan already have the engine. It doesn't make sense to develop a new one when then can use the same common parts lying around.

[@gilbs72]

Dear Nissan, please bring the X-Trail ePower to our shores! Amen.

[@admplaysball]

Grabe!!! I tried test driving the Nissan Kicks and I should say its the best driving experience I’ve had!! Better than my Porsche Cayenne
