We had our Nissan vehicle serviced last week. While waiting, my wife checked out the Kicks and she was sold! This would be the ideal daily driver. We just have to sell a few internal organs so we can buy one.😅

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

How about emission test after the 3rd year of ownership? Are the kicks or other EVs exempted?

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.)

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…

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

VE the mid variant is the sweet spot

​@@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.

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.

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.

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

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.

For research purposes. Sino yung naka orange at 13:24?

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

Жыл бұрын

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.

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..

ok na sana anxiety mo sa Spare tire pag na Flat tire,

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

Жыл бұрын

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
