RM115,900–RM143,900
Overview
The Nissan Kicks e-Power is a P15-generation B-segment SUV launched in Malaysia in 2024, with five seats and a 1.2-litre petrol-hybrid/REV drivetrain. It suits buyers who want small-SUV practicality and electric-car-style running without planning around charging stops. The range starts from RM113,800.
For 2026, the Malaysian Kicks e-Power carries on unchanged as the first-generation P15 range, with VL and VLT variants. The 2026 facelift news is for Thailand, where the P15 gets Kait styling, ProPILOT and a 136 PS/280 Nm e-motor from RM96k. In Malaysia, the latest local showroom update is the Impul Edition styling package: RM8,500 for a bodykit and 18-inch alloys.

Which variant to buy
The range has two variants: VL at RM113,800 and VLT at RM121,800. Both get the same 1,198 cc petrol-hybrid/REV drivetrain, 82 hp output, eCVT automatic and five-seat layout, so the RM8,000 gap does not buy a different powertrain or extra seats. Most buyers should start with VL. Pay for VLT only if its trim and equipment list has items you specifically want.

Key specs
across the range — availability varies by variant
The Kicks e-Power arrives after a long wait, and its price puts it well above the Perodua Ativa, Aruz and Traz, and above the Mitsubishi Xforce; it only undercuts the Honda HR-V and Chery O5 by a small margin at base level. The appeal is the petrol-backed electric-drive idea in a manageable body: 4,290 mm long, 1,760 mm wide and 1,605 mm tall.
same class, similar money
The Nissan Kicks e-Power costs RM113,800 for the VL and RM121,800 for the VLT in Malaysia.
Buy the VL unless the VLT’s trim and equipment list has specific items you want. Both variants share the same 1,198 cc petrol-hybrid/REV drivetrain, 82 hp output, eCVT automatic and five-seat layout.
The Kicks e-Power is a Petrol Hybrid/REV, not a pure battery EV. Petrol is part of the system, but the pitch is electric-car-style running without the usual range-anxiety concern.
Not for Malaysia. The 2026 facelift news is for Thailand, with Kait styling, ProPILOT and a 136 PS/280 Nm e-motor. The Malaysian P15 range continues with VL and VLT.
