My impressions on the Nissan Kicks

[@saturdayfunmachine]

I enjoyed this video very much and you have a very approachable narration style. Keep it up!

[@lexurious2227]

Very practical in this day and age. Kudos to you Nissan!

[@vincecasugbo]

the technology behind this car is incredible! well explained sir

[@alanagbayani4899]

Nice and very detailed explanation on battery engine consumption.

[@denniskuwait6819]

Thank you Sir for you POV on this car,I am following all your reviews. Congratulations and more Power

[@jessiedelantar4710]

900 kilometers/full tank. Wow npaka tipid. Ganda explanation sir..

[@AnoNymous-qx4tf]

My friend has a 2017 Nissan E-Power Note in Japan, first gen e power and until now battery is still working at 97% performance. The battery's performance goes down to 90% after 12-15 years if you use your car on a daily basis.

[@raffycapati]

How much does the replacement battery cost?

[@AnoNymous-qx4tf]

@@raffycapati Some says p150k-180k... but price goes down after 10-15 years.. no need to worry about it. Perhaps, it might even go down to p50k after 10 years.

[@doaniejamesbuenavides9923]

So the porpose ng engine generator is to charge the battery

[@clarencetortal4820]

Thanks for sharing sir.. very nice👍🏽

[@braderlouie1081]

Amazing content, thanks for sharing your observations and informed us on how this vehicle work, can't wait for your driving impressions, due to fuel increases, this is definitely a compelling choice 👍👍

[@olanidol]

Awesome video sir Levi..very informative...

[@rollydiaz4123]

Another consideration also should be the maintenance costs. Is it cheaper than the regular car with the traditional combuation engine? How much is the cost difference as well as the frequency of visits to the casa?

[@cocoylopez8031]

Nissan recommends 2x a year.

[@catablworld4250]

for electric car, ideally its maintenance cost is 25k per 5 years.... yes per 5yrs...

[@kopiseaf.5835]

[@f4f471]

Mr. Levi, Based on the Power numbers, this will be Faster than Corolla Cross ? Thank you for the review, another professional job well done.

[@ridewithlevi6418]

Based on number, yes.. but you dont just look on the numbers, you have also to consider the transmission

[@jetro888]

I've test driven the Corolla Cross and is a new owner of the Kicks. The Kicks is both faster and more powerful than the Corolla Cross by a lot...it's not even close. I am sure you will have fun seeing that for yourself 😊

[@carloacetre677]

@@ridewithlevi6418 Have test driven the Kicks and my brother owns a Cross Hybrid. Performance gap is wildly in favor of the Nissan.

[@tonychua4667]

[@KenshinHimura23]

Sana ginawa ng PHEV para mas efficient. You can plug it sa bahay mo pag gabi para pag ginamit mo hindi kailangan gumana agad ang makina para irecharge ang battery. 20k/l is already achieved by modern gasoline engined compact cars such as the latest Honda City. Main advantage nito for me is the power you get from the electric motor.

[@KenshinHimura23]

@@krishjasonramos1617 I mentioned advantage ni Kicks is power you get from electric motor. Also PHEV does not mean plug-in only, it's plug-in electric hybrid, combination of both. Check mitsubishi outlander phev as an example.. As for the battery size, they can improve it in exchange for smaller gasoline engine, anyway it is used solely for charging naman.

[@KenshinHimura23]

@@krishjasonramos1617 Time will come costs of battery production will surely drop down because of increased EV adoption.. CA will ban ice cars starting in 2035, this will surely increase competition in lithium battery production as early as this decade. So we can't really say that Nissan will increase price drastically in its future iteration of kicks. My point is, PHEV is a better technology and I hope Nissan could apply their take on this in the future especially on their compact cars.

[@KenshinHimura23]

@@krishjasonramos1617 Just wait for lithium battery production competition to increase, this will surely bring the price to drop again. This also happened in Solar panels but look at the price now. Anyhow, for now I will stay with ICE vehicle. Until such time that EV technology is so reliable and as easy to maintain and the price difference to a comparable ICE vehicle almost negligible.

[@cedricorge8006]

[@ponkeenini5099]

sayang di pa nila nilagyan ng optional AC charging

[@leokatigbak6102]

Oo nga, it would be more versatile kung may wall charging capability.

[@bientamangan7796]

Maganda to sana lahat ng manufacturer mag labas na rin ng mga kanilang e power vehicle. Patay naman mga talyer na chambahan mag kumpuni na puro labor lang habol, di ko sinasabi lahat pero pag mga ganyan na sasakyan mababawasan sila ng mga gagawin hehehe

[@nickbarnes5802]

in my opinion we cannot compare the corolla cross and kicks because the latter is an ev while the other is a hybrid they are two different system

[@jetro888]

Both are hybrids. No matter what they call it, the simple definition of a hybrid for me is both internal combustion engine (ICE) and Electric Motor are present under the hood. The big difference is in the implementation. Corolla cross - both the ICE and the Electric Motor drives the wheels and the ICE is the main driver with the electric motor acting as an alternate. The ICE has 2 jobs, drive the wheels and recharge the EV battery. Kicks - only the electric motor drives the wheels, hence the torque is very high and delivery is instant as is the characteristic of an EV. The ICE’s only job is to charge the EV battery.

[@nickbarnes5802]

@@jetro888 kicks is an ev that why nissan says experience electric its a self charging ev not hybrid, instead of plugging in it like other evs kicks has the engine charge its battery

[@r1tol251]

@@jetro888 well, your simple definition is completely wrong hehehehe..

[@jetro888]

@@r1tol251 how so? Can the Kicks run without the ICE? Answer is no. The Kicks wheel is driven by the electric motor yes but the motor needs the alternator and the battery.... and the battery is charged by the ICE via the alternator . So...technically ...the Kicks e power is a hybrid just different implementation VS Corolla Cross hybrid ...or prius. Don't be confused by Nissan's marketing. The Nissan Kicks is an EV in that the Electric Motor alone drives the wheel...but it is still an hybrid (still needs gas, still has both gas ICE and Electric Motor to operate). The Leaf, all Teslas, BYD Dolphin are all EVs, the nissan leaf is a unique EV in that it still is a hybrid.

Will release it next Friday

[@abetguerzon1939]

sir hindi ba masyado complicated ung engine design nya if ever magkaron ng mga trouble ung engine and it will need some repairs? ung battery nya is located sa ilalim? is it completely sealed? just in case mapadaan sa mga baha.. problem kc since new engine design at may masira then wala ka option kung hndi dalhin lng sya sa nissan mismo.. so for sure mahal ang service repairs.. then engine cleaning din hndi bsta bsta cguro kaso the way i see it dami pade singitan ng dumi ung makina which makes it hard to clean. Overall nice review sir. thank you.

[@augustnathanielmacandog4532]

As far as I know po. The combustion engine is from Almera and Electric motor is from the Leaf. Based on other reviewer, parts and maintenance will not be an issue daw po. :-)

[@ridewithlevi6418]

That’s my concern, yung maintenance, you will depend on the casa for repairs. Sealed naman yung battery but iwasan lang na malubog sa water

[@augustnathanielmacandog4532]

[@michaelgoodman9508]

May nakausap po ako sir Levi na nissan agent patungkol sa battery packs, kapag nasira daw po ang battery beyond warranty na, ang presyo ng battery is half the price of the entire vehicle, probably half ng purchase price ng vehicle na nabili. At hindi puwede i recta yung gasoline to engine if battery fails according to the agent. The technology is good but unless money is of no concern once the battery breaks down........😞
