Instant torque, smooth acceleration, and zero need for plug-in charging. Whether you’re navigating the city streets or embarking on a weekend adventure, the KICKS promises a dynamic drive, delivering an impressive 21.7 km/l fuel efficiency. With a full tank, drivers can journey up to 900 km – perfect for the eco-conscious explorer.

The KICKS e-POWER isn’t just about performance; it makes a bold style statement too. Its sleek design boasts Nissan’s signature v-motion grille, floating roof, and striking LED lights. Inside, it’s all about comfort and connectivity, with zero-gravity seats, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a driver-centric digital display. Tailored for every driving mood, the KICKS offers four modes – eco, sport, standard, and EV. Plus, the innovative e-pedal step simplifies city driving, allowing you to control speed with just one pedal.

Safety You Can Trust
Safety meets sophistication with a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating. The KICKS is equipped with advanced features like Intelligent Driver Alertness, Blind Spot Warning, and Intelligent Emergency Braking. The groundbreaking Intelligent Rear-View Mirror ensures optimal visibility, even with a fully loaded boot.

Affordable Innovation
Priced from RM113,800, the KICKS e-POWER brings cutting-edge technology within reach. Early birds will enjoy additional perks, including a RM5,000 rebate and an extended 10-year warranty on EV components.
