The only reviewer that’s both entertaining & covers what most buyers really want to know.

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!

@@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

Binge watching on this channel coz im buying myself a car, im claiming it!!! Ill work hard as hell to get that car! 2023 gonna be my year 🙏

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.

Just took one out for a test drive a few hours ago. It drives like a dream and has lots of bells and whistles. The wife is in love with it. What bothers me is the fact that it has no spare tire. Instead, Nissan just threw in a tire inflator. So if an unfortunate encounter on the road end with a long gash on my tire instead of a little puncture, I'm dead in the water.

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.

The ads make me stand away for a while. 😂

my favorite car review channel in the philippines :-)

They have the same technology in Nissan Note & they are heavily in demand in our country. The rising fuel prices have inflated them like hell. But damn they are good vehicles. It gives 25-30 km/l fuel average and this is the figure for the previous gen. The new one improves even on that. The power delivery is smooth & it actually is rapid like an EV. Nissan definitely knows that future without fuel is still way far in developing countries & also for long drives

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.

Its been a while since I was entertained by a promotional ad 😆👌

Basically it's an EV with a generator, best of both worlds! The fuel consumption is really good! The only car that I've tried that did 700kms+ from full to basically almost empty(blinking) is the Suzuki Celerio which is a compact car and it has a 35L tank.

the range and the battery life is equally exhilarating

hahaha that additional " you need new tires " then pulls out a pocket knife hahahaha I just lost it there

Can't wait to get my hands on this bad boy, good job Nissan!

Funny and nice advertising touch with the Aguila windshield. Especially the tire! Next pls! 😀

gotta be the best ad

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

My question is, how would this fare on the Philippine climate where you can experience floods? Is there any component of the e-power located in the wheels?

Nice review. If the Note comes to Philippines, I would like to know your thoughts on that car.

Do I have to plug it in to charge and in longer drive that is when the gas engine turns on to just charge the battery, or it is totally dependent to the energy produce by the gas via battery.?

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

What I wanted to know was how long do the lithium batteries last and how much does it cost to replace them.

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?

Hi thank you for the review, I'm planing to buy it on Mexico but I have some doubts about it, some of the guys that review cars in Mexico said that going uphill is the worst does not pass 90 km/hr, but in city works just fine, I wonder about your experience going uphill?

Hi Caco, great review, as always. I probably missed it, but how much gas did you consume on your trip? Thanks.

Nice review sir “The Philippinest” got me😅😅😅 the holes and rought got new subscribers.., Here it makes me think to get one of this!!!

I wonder how long would be the battery life, and how much would it cost incase you would need to replace it.

Starting to save money for some ev someday. Nice start from nissan. This is the future. Embrace it

Hello sir Caco. Did nissan specified when to change the oil for the engine?

That hammer smash to the windshield at the start sunk my heart, lol.

There’s a Kicks in line right behind me right now at the Matnog port. Looks like they did the Bicol drive as well…and then some.

How's the battery cooled? Is it still the same as the leaf na passively cooled or active cooled na?

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

How long does it run until it uses the engine to charge the batteries again? Assuming it's fully charge and on the highway and city.

when do you replace the batteries? is it every 3 or 5 years? does it need oil change? what are the usual PMS?

we also did a test drive! i love this :) thanks for sharing !!

Best Auto Glass Advert ever

How’s the maintenance of cars with battery? Can a normal carshop like Rapide can support its PMS after warranty or were stuck with casa maintenance?

really like this man funny but informative

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

Good review. Question on economy. What is the gas tank size? What range can you expect to get per tank of gas? Size of the battery? Thx

Can you make a review about Toyota's Hybrid system vs Nissan's E-power cause I wanna know which is better. If anyone can comment down below their comparisons, feel free to do so

Question is, how much are the batteries going to cost when you need to replace them?

This is really good. Eyeing for something like this for our family wheel. How far does it go between engine battery charge? (i guess, what i want to know is how far can the battery go on a single full charge from the engine?)..

This is the future of engines. When we perfect synthetic fuels, EVs like this will be the best way to make use of it.

"....a very very good compromise to those questions" well said to wrap it up with Kicks. And again, a well defined review! Meron lang ako sa mga reviews ninyo, my retirement funds might not be wise to spend this much. Will be looking at your second hand cars, just in a few years na lang...

A very nice review Caco..I hope you review BYD EV and PHeV vehicles..

Just a question, when you are on the B mode, does the brake lights also turns on, i think that's going to be a bit of a safety hazard, if you are following a Kicks, you don't know that the car is breaking or slowing down since you can just let go of the pedal and did not step on the breaks....

how about the power when driving uphill?

I test drove one today here in the province. The e-pedal is a new experience coming from driving manual and cvt cars. I barely touched the brakes and that would be when I parked the car and while waiting to cross the intersection.

Hi, if the gas motor just functions as generator, then why 1.2 instead if 1.0? Hinde ba mas matipid if 1.0 lang?
