The Truth behind Nissan Kicks e Power Ownership from the Kick Club Philippines

I hope Nissan brings the 7-seater X-trail E-power to the Philippines as well

[@JTan74]

The Nissan Kicks e-Power is on top of my list of cars to replace my 12 year old diesel Innova (which still runs well), but the future is EV. Lacking charging infrastructure, the e-Power is the most feasible for me.

[@Wilmost433]

Kicks is fun to drive, spacious and fuel efficient. Downsides: 1. Kunting lubak lang parang pupotok na yung shock 2. Aircon is bad if I compare it to my Nissan Navara. Naka 2 replacements na compressor (under warranty) pero di talaga kaya pag galing naka park na bilad sa araw 3. Headlight illumination is poor even on high beam

[@Makeeman]

It was nice meeting you at the First meetup sir! :) interviewing real owners really gives people a fresh perspective on what a vehicle is all about. Thank you! And more power to your channel! :)

[@SoJooCars]

Thanks, you too! Salamat!

[@_drose_]

for the succeeding episode of The Truth Behind (TTB), yep! let’s call it that :) if you are able to interview an owner with higher mileage, can you touch on the maintenance side? it could give us a more wholistic view of owning the specific car. but, this is a great start. this kind of segment will surely be a hit. big brain 🎉

[@SoJooCars]

I am not sure if the general audience want this :D

[@melanieyanes4390]

is there a possibility that it can be converted to plug-in hybrid?

[@samsrilanka]

I drove a nissan kicks non e-drive, just petrol model for 15,000miles (it was about 12,000 miles when I received). Fuel efficiency 30 miles per gallon. Acceleration and torque great. But after 20,000 miles on ODO the transmission isn’t as responsive as they used to be (oil changes and routine maintenance done as advised, every 5000 miles.)

[@JoseBarrientos-o8s]

As a Nissan owner since 90s, both the legendary forgotten Nissan Sport Sedan the B13 Sunny/Sentra then the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy / Nissan Sentra N16, my N16 now is clocking near 600,000km and the B13 with over 800,000km, I do also want the Almera N18 facelift but the e-power is also interesting, and at the same time I don't wanna leave the Manual Transmission behind, I wish the kicks has the clutch even though its an EV…

[@jepoystaines]

Nice vlog. Battery life degrades overtime. What happens to the fuel efficiency 10 years down the road? Cheers

[@SoJooCars]

Battery usually degrades like our phones, but the degrade is quite minimal like 20% degrading after 10 years

[@GiuseppeHormigos]

i dont think it is accurate to compare it with phones. first 2 or 3 years of the phone, the cycle (discharge then charge) happens once a day. With the kicks thi happens multiple times a day. probably around 5 to 10 times a day

[@ashtonvinceco5480]

​@@GiuseppeHormigos it has more charge cycles since it doesn't fully charge which is better for the battery health.

[@berlannerepoyo8380]

​@@GiuseppeHormigosUnless you use the EV only function it will not cycle the battery many times a day. The ICE will contribute more power to the motor instead of the battery at highway speeds. It will only turn off the engine and purely run on the battery if the battery is charged enough at low load scenarios like heavy traffic or complete standstill.

[@olegarioclemente6132]

Hi yes they have promoted it heavily but where are the stocks. I’ve been waiting to get mine since I was among the very first to get a reservation at the recent PIMS. They said this event has a different waiting list, but will be assisted by the dealers. Kindly tell this to Mr Hoyos. I called their Nissan customer hotline but I have not received any reply coz they a 3rd party contractual employee so they need to relay the message to Nissan officials, it’s been months no reply showing no concern. Or am I a victim of dealer agents and dealers giving priority to their favoured clients? I hope this reaches Mr Hoyos. Thank you.

[@SoJooCars]

You might want to join the club in facebook amd discuss it there since the club is now officially recognized by Nissan Philippines

[@KGL101293]

How's the battery in the long run?

[@CONVID-xy4ur]

Ill be honest we have a VL kicks, i am not as amazed, we only get 12.8km/liter, there are times when it gets 26km/liter when i use it, but it is usually when its longer drives. Not short stop go. As a whole my ave is 13 wich i hope gets better, so far 400km pa lang. My 2014 vw jetta tdi can do 12-16 in the city, so it isnt mind blowing. Speed wala ako masabi mabilis. Later on i stop using e pedal stop because if your not gentle it gets dizzy because if u let gas go to soon, it brakes too hard and gives me headache. So if anybody has a brtter way to use it. Also let me know.

[@MrKockabilly]

It's always exciting how the owners talk about the fuel efficiency of the kicks and I believe them. However, since efficiency is a financial aspect, might as well include an info on how long the battery would last (at least on the average and normal use) and how much to replace it (data should be available from Nissan) so that a more objective calculation could be made.

[@sologamingvideos1539]

full battery and full tank up to 900 kms.

[@janharold]

Might be good to add questions that answers what they don't like about their cars as it is something that only real owners can answer, this way, the content will be more valuable for us viewers. Also, (might be just me) I would suggest a tighter shot as people in the background can be distracting.

A lot faster when you join the club's discussion kahit not a unit owner yet I believe.

[@GiuseppeHormigos]

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

[@wetsocksrichdad1928]

1) Five years warranty for the whole e-power system as per Nissan ph website. 10years for the battery as per Nissan Thailand 2) Battery is charged at 80% capacity. According to Nissan battery degradation is at 1-2% per year. AC and other Electronics gets is power from the traditional car battery not from the E-power battery 3) Kicks E-power has been in Singapore Japan etc for the past 2 years. Best if you join the FB Groups related to Nissan Kicks SG and Kicks Club PH . Due the simplicity of the Series hybrid of Kicks it can push down the price compared to Toyota's Prius using Parrallel Hybrid which has a more complicated drive train thus the higher pricetag

[@zodiacfml]

this is terrible value with a 2 KWH battery, just get a gas powered Crossover similar to the Kicks. if you can wait, there is a legislation for 0% tariff tax on EVs only to be signed by the President. in other words, cheaper EVs to come that will be cheaper than hybrids.

[@wetsocksrichdad1928]

@@zodiacfml so can you recommend a crossover with 136hp and 280n/m torque? on an average of 20km/l fuel economy ?

[@gregrodrigueziii8075]

its as costly as replacing a CVT transmission. so it all place out just the same , with kicks having a better drive. In general, the life span of the battery is the same life span of the car, 15 years. so it depends now on how owner take care of their car

[@SirPuge]

Gusto ko talaga to for my next car.. God's willing.. Pero I think hindi talaga sya dapat tinatawag na hybrid.. If this is hybrid, we might as well call tesla a hybrid too.. This gets charged via built in generator using gasoline but gas is not used to power the engine.. Tesla gets charged via wall outlet which electric gets generated from a combination of gasoline, geothermal, hydro, etc..

[@Gats8479]

Hopefully kick Nissan had made a fully EV soon.

[@spooldohc]

Nice content. I think the big elephant in the room is the significant replacement cost of the e-power batteries that is due 3-5 years of using it (half a million pesos yata). It will outweigh the fuel savings cost. The sales rep told me that costing will possibly be lower should more units be coming in. But the e-power technology has been in the market for long so kind of doubtful about it. Can you confirm this Sir? Really want to get the kicks but this is a deal-breaker for me.

[@phil_ang]

I am not sure where you got the info about the 3 to 5 years battery life but this is not true. Typical battery life is around 8 to 10 years similar to hybrids from Toyota. Since the battery is smaller in capacity, replacement costs will be much lower compared to a car that has parallel hybrid technology which uses a larger capacity battery.
