2025 Nissan Kicks e-Power Malaysian review – too little, too late, or true-blue EV with zero range anxiety?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Nissan Kicks e-Power. Ahead of the B-SUV’s launch next month (after what has seemed like an eternity) at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2024, we’ve given you a full gallery and specs. Now that we’ve taken the car on a trip to Melaka and back courtesy of Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM), it’s time to go deep.

Let’s start with size. The Kicks’ 4,290-mm length and 1,760-mm width place it between the Perodua Ativa and the Proton X50 in the horizontal sense, but its 1,605-mm height makes it as tall as the X50 and slightly taller than the Chery Omoda 5 and Honda HR-V. No beating the 1,635-mm tall boy Ativa, though. The Kicks’ 2,615-mm wheelbase just about equals the HR-V; in other words, between the X50 and O5.

Honey, I expanded the Almera? Quite – sharp edges all around, V-Motion face and squinting LED headlamps. I particularly like the side profile, with its ‘floating roof’, upswept C-pillar kink that’s sharper than the Almera’s, and the deep swage lines along the doors. Together with the connected LED tail lamps, roof rails and 17-inch five-spoke alloys wrapped in 205/55 Yokohama BluEarths, the Kicks is a sight for my sore eyes at least.

It’s Almera-like inside, too. You’ll recognise the flat-bottomed steering wheel (rake- and reach-adjustable), padded dashboard with contrasting-colour opportunities (brown here), eight-inch touchscreen, half-analogue-half-digital instrument cluster, circular air vents and single-zone auto air-con control panel, but of course here you get a stubby e-Power-specific gear lever, an electronic parking brake with auto hold, Drive Mode button and an EV mode switch.

It’s a nice place to be – I do like the brown bits, which you’ll also find on the door cards and seats courtesy of the range-topping VLT, although mine could be an unpopular opinion given Malaysians’ penchant for all-black interiors. The tops of the dashboard and door cards are hard plastic, but the brown padded bits go some way towards elevating the atmosphere. Auto up/down window only for the driver, though.

In a time when car interiors are looking more and more like cinemas, the half-analogue-half-digital instrument cluster does unfortunately look old hat. The seven-inch unit’s graphics are fine, legible and fairly modern-looking, but completely at odds with the big traditional speedo and its trip reset knob poking out of the glass, which reminds you of the Kicks’ age.

Fighting back the years are the very-intuitive touchscreen (with wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto) and digital rear-view mirror (VLT only) – you turn the latter on simply by flicking the lever beneath, just as you do to dim a conventional mirror. This is a B-segment-first in Malaysia.

I find it a boon – the view is very wide-angle and won’t be blocked by D-pillars, rear passengers’ heads and tall items in the boot. Even in heavy rain, although you would still need to operate the back wiper from time to time, you will see better than with a conventional mirror on the whole.

The manually-adjustable Zero Gravity front seats, while a little narrow on the thighs, are very supportive and comfortable. Also narrow is the centre console, being just wide enough to house dual cupholders (with two ‘floor’ settings to fit big and small cups) lengthwise. It follows that the armrest box is also narrow, and opening it reveals a shallow cubby that could probably only take a bi-fold wallet and some keys at best.

Back seat space is acceptable – no centre armrest nor rear air-con vents, but you do get two USB-A charging ports. The boot swallows a very respectable 423 litres; if you need more, the back seats fold 60:40, but the load floor is not flat and there’s quite a big protrusion on the floor where the seats split. Under the boot floor you’ll find a tyre repair kit instead of a spare tyre.

This is the facelifted first-gen Kicks that launched in Thailand over four years ago (you read that right and it’s not the new second-gen, no RHD nor e-Power for that yet), although Malaysia now gets the second-gen e-Power powertrain (updated for Japan, Thailand and Singapore in 2022), which increases the battery’s capacity from 1.57 to 2.06 kWh and the number of cells from 80 to 96.

Nissan says the second-gen e-Power powertrain is more compact, lighter and offers better performance. In the Kicks, which is the first e-Power model in Malaysia, a 1.2 litre three-cylinder engine acts purely as a generator to charge a 2.06 kWh battery that feeds a front-mounted 129 PS/280 Nm electric motor.

It’s a series hybrid in the same vein as the Perodua Ativa Hybrid, the Mazda MX-30 R-EV and the BMW i3 REx. Since the petrol engine never drives the wheels, it’s an EV where propulsion is concerned. It’s an EV with zero range anxiety, but not zero emissions. And no, you can’t plug it in to charge.

Unsurprisingly, the Kicks e-Power is very EV-like to drive – instant torque and silent progress. Around town, you really wouldn’t realise that the petrol engine has kicked in unless you’re keeping an eye on the instrument cluster – there are next to no vibrations despite it being a three-cylinder. You’d really have to perk up your ears to hear just a muted hum. Of course, the engine wake-up is more discernible when you’re waiting at the lights, but overall, refinement levels are very high.

I said it feels like an EV to drive, didn’t I? But it can also feel like an ICE vehicle at times – bear with me. You know when you give a CVT vehicle the beans, you hear the engine first before vehicle speed catches up? Well, it’s uncannily the opposite here. Floor it and the EV-like instant torque shoves you forward, but a split second later you hear the engine, and the revs correspond very closely to throttle position (like an ICE car) as it toils to charge the battery based on your right foot’s demand.

I must reiterate here that at no point is engine operation intrusive or rough in the slightest. This is without doubt the Kicks e-Power’s top strength – its quietness. Even at speed, I can only stop short of saying there’s zero road and wind noise, lest someone brings out a NASA-grade decibel meter to prove me wrong.

A 0-100 km/h time of 9.5 seconds is all well and good; what’s perhaps more impressive is its mid-range acceleration of 100-120 km/h in four seconds flat. Indeed, when you ask for more power at highway speeds, the Kicks e-Power simply complies, the speedo needle climbing relentlessly in a manner you wouldn’t expect from a 129 PS/280 Nm car.

Let’s talk modes. Besides Normal, there are Eco and Sport which influence throttle response and increase regen braking (Normal has the least amount of regen). Funnily enough, EV mode, which tells the engine not to wake up, can only be engaged when you’re in Eco or Sport, but because the battery is small, you’ll only manage at best 2.5 km of zero-emissions driving (and that’s if you do a constant 40 km/h and your battery is full) before the engine has to intervene.

Since the system always tries to keep the battery’s state of charge between 20% and 80%, how do you maximise EV-only driving? Well, there’s a hidden Charge mode, accessible by holding the EV mode switch for two seconds. The engine will then come alive and stay alive until it has fully charged the battery.

The ride is on the comfortable side of stiff, while handling, although the Kicks is light on its feet, is perhaps par for the course. The e-Pedal Step is unlike the Leaf’s in that the car will slow to a creep instead of coming to a complete stop when you get off the throttle.

Standard safety equipment includes seven airbags, AEB and Intelligent Driver Alertness – the top VLT spec adds adaptive cruise control (VL gets normal cruise control), a 360 camera, blind spot warning and rear cross traffic alert. Warranties? Five years/100,000 km for the vehicle and eight years/160,000 km for the battery, ECU, inverter and electric motor.

What about running costs? ETCM actually showed us a comparison (above), of warranties, servicing costs and battery replacement costs between the Kicks and its T- and H-brand competitors (which obviously refer to the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid and the Honda HR-V e:HEV currently on sale in Malaysia).

All three have five-year vehicle warranties, but the Kicks’ is limited to 100,000 km while the Toyota’s and Honda’s are unlimited mileage. In terms of the warranty on EV components, the Kicks’ eight years equal or better the other two, but is limited to 160,000 km as opposed to T’s and H’s unlimited mileage.

The Kicks’ 2.1-kWh battery is also the largest capacity of the trio, and based on ETCM’s internal survey, the second-cheapest to replace at RM9,000 per unit. Finally, servicing costs – up to 100,000 km, the Nissan has 10 paid service intervals costing RM3,624 in total. This is RM264.10 cheaper than the Honda (also 10 paid service intervals) and RM1,440.70 cheaper than the Toyota (12 paid service intervals).

2025 Nissan Kicks e-Power Malaysian review – too little, too late, or true-blue EV with zero range anxiety?

Nissan touts an NEDC figure of 21.7 km/l and a max range of 900 km on a 41-litre tank of petrol. From PJ to Melaka, 16 cars covered 231 km solely on trunk roads and were rebrimmed at the destination. The drive was quite spirited with a fair bit of overtaking, and the median car used 13.99 litres of petrol, yielding 16.5 km/l. It was half-B-road, half-highway on the way back, and although we did not rebrim the cars this time, my readout hovered around 15 km/l in spite of a good turn of speed on the highway.

All in all, it’s not going to be a breeze for ETCM’s first all-new model in four years. Even before we single out the hybrid rivals (upcoming Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid RM140k estimated, Honda HR-V e:HEV RM142k, Haval H6 HEV RM140k), the B-SUV market is a very red ocean, with some C-SUVs eating into the pie as well (Proton X70 RM99k-127k, Chery Tiggo 7 RM124k, Jaecoo J7 2WD RM139k).

And these are all CKD. Our Nissan Kicks e-Power is going to come CBU from Thailand. But who knows – if ETCM can somehow get the all-important pricing right, this car could just be the viable quiet, comfortable and good-looking alternative the market needs.

Comments

  • AI-generated Summary ✨

    Comments largely view the 2025 Nissan Kicks e-Power as outdated, with many criticizing it for being a previous-generation model launched too late in Malaysia while other ASEAN countries received newer versions earlier. The pricing is seen as too high, with opinions that it should be priced below RM100K to be competitive. Many feel the model's tech, although good, is lagging behind more recent hybrid offerings from Toyota and others. There is disappointment over Nissan Malaysia’s strategy, with concerns about the brand's declining relevance nationally and globally. Several commenters recommend waiting for the next-generation Kicks or other hybrid models, arguing the current offering does not meet modern standards or value expectations. Overall, sentiments suggest the car is a poor buy at its current price, and the launch is considered too little, too late.

  • DonkeyKong on Nov 16, 2024 at 7:18 pm

    14-15km/l real-world fuel economy, this means that the Corolla Cross Hybrid, HRV e:HEV and the (somewhat overpowered) Haval H6 Hybrid can all deliver better fuel economy than this car while having more interior space.

    Being CBU Thailand, the Kicks will lose out in terms of price too.

    Honestly anyone will find it hard to justify this purchase when comparing between the other options in the market.

      Nah these Japanese brands totally different tech from Nissan ePower. If you don’t know how it works, shut the fxxk up. Nissan ePower gasoline engine is just a generator to charge the battery and power up the car. The drivetrain and propulsion is completely electrical which means your car can drive at high RPM without straining the vehicle. Nissan ePower is much more powerful and innovative than what you think. They are completely different from parallel hybrid from other motor makers. Please study before commenting.

      exactly. everyone knows this Kicks model is from 2016. The newer 2025 Kicks is much nicer. Why would Malaysians have to pay premium to get a car from 2016. Cannot brain this.

      My guess it’s likely MYR 120k range. Which is way overpriced! Under 100k can consider for this old tech la. The newer 2024 model is far superior and better in every sense to this model. Oh, maybe in 10 years we will then get the current 2024 model. By then, everyone else have moved on to something better. That’s practically how TCM marketing is. Old school old tech and pricey.

      Blame it our excessive taxation and AP requirement for fully imported models even if it’s from Thailand. Badawi actually abolish these requirements under ASEAN free trade agreement but Najib reimposed it back to enrich the elites and enslave the rest in debt. We are the worse in ASEAN when it comes to car models.

      the tech is not as good as even Toyota/Daihatsu’s 2020 tech, which is the eSmart hybrid system (which is exactly similar to nissan’s ePower tech, using series hybrid).

      Toyota/Daihatsu achieved theoritical 31km/L with real-world 26km/L with a similar setup.

    I have a feeling there will be a lot of people criticizing Tan Chong Motor, the distributor for Nissan in Malaysia, for bringing the first-generation Nissan Kicks to our market in 2024. This is the same model that was first revealed back in 2016, with a facelift in 2020. By the time it hits our shores, it’s already a 4-year-old product (kind of outdated), right? Meanwhile, our neighbors Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam—all got updated versions of the Kicks back in 2020-2022. So why is Malaysia getting left behind?

    Fun fact: The second-generation Kicks just debuted in the U.S. in March 2024 for the 2025 model year. So why aren’t we getting that version? Why stick with the old one?

    It’s a tough question, and I totally get it. From a marketing standpoint, it might be that Nissan’s presence in Malaysia has taken a hit. It could be that the demand just isn’t there for newer models, which is totally understandable! Maybe the distributor thinks it’s safer to roll out an older model that people might be more familiar with. But that kind of thinking might be holding the brand back eventually, which would be a shame.

    I think it’s important to consider the whole approach, not just the product itself. I really hope Nissan’s leaders in Malaysia don’t keep playing it safe, because that could affect the brand’s future here. It might seem like a safe bet to go with an older model now, but what about the bigger picture?

    Guess what! The Nissan Kicks is actually assembled in Thailand! I’m really looking forward to the second-generation Kicks in RHD (right-hand drive), which I hope will be fully ready and properly completed before they announce it in Malaysia. I mean, why settle for an older model just to beat the competition to market? I think it would be better to take the time and get it right.

    I’m sure you agree that we don’t want Tan Chong Motor to rush this out and then have people complain that they got an outdated model that’s been available elsewhere for years! I think it’ll just lead to more bad press and bad word-of-mouth, which nobody wants! Sometimes it’s better to be patient and get the product launch right than to be first to market.

    At the end of the day, we all want new products, don’t we? But it’s still unclear whether this older Kicks will do well in the Malaysian market. Anyway, it all depends on whether people are willing to accept it. So, we’ll just have to wait and see how the sales figures turn out!

      Their automotive products are all laggards.
      Nissan Japan is on the verge of bankruptcy again.

      TCM has been burning this brand to the ground for at least 2 decades if not more. Poor marketing choices, uncompetitive pricing, poor model positioning in this market that has turned it into a 2 horse race between Toyota and Honda every single time. And I’ve had my share of all 3 brands (4 counting Mazda) over the years. I suppose when the grand old man at TC goes then the Japanese will be able to do something. It speaks volumes that they’ve not intervened thus far.

      you said so much, but the conclusion is, the Kicks that ETCM brings to us is still an outdated piece that was from many years ago. It is like trying to sell the samsung s22 in year 2024 as new tech. ETCM really thinks malaysians will not complaint??? Now the ONLY thing that can save this outdated model is pricing. If priced cheap, then malaysians will still consider buying it

      They continue to bring in old stuff.
      This distributor needs to go for us to see a more vibrant Nissan offering.

    Googled the 2025 USA Nissan Kicks and it is a light years ahead of this version we are getting. This version if launch in 2015 will be pisang goreng panas. But launching today it is fighting against so many better options and competitors.

      Yea, I’m not sure what ETCM is thinking.
      Selling a car from 2016 today (8 years old) is simply bad business decision. malaysia may not be 1st world country, but we aren’t stupid as we have so much choice to choose from. I last read this old car will be sold at 130k price range. I guess this car in Malaysia is DOA.

        It’s the latest model with e-POWER tho, and that’s the important thing.

      This time they’re bringing the latest e-POWER Kicks model tho, so they’re doing something right.

    Won’t be considering any Nissan vehicle in the near future. Been reading lots of negative of the company. It might not last long.

    like Kojima stated above, this is akin to selling an outdated Samsung S22 in 2024, who will buy??? Except if priced CHEAP then maybe can.

    TCM still clueless about what is going on.. This crap is outdated, the dashboard is outdated. We want X Trail and Qashqai, not this T-Rex thing! Stop making malaysian a dumping ground for outdated technology
