Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) has announced that the Nissan Kicks e-Power is now open for booking in Malaysia at an estimated price of below RM130,000, ahead of its launch next month, most possibly at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2024. ETCM also says the vehicle has achieved a full five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating.
VL and VLT variants will be offered in Malaysia, both powered solely by a single electric motor at the front producing 129 PS and 280 Nm of torque. It’s hooked up to a 82 PS/103 Nm HR12DE 1.2 litre naturally-aspirated three-cylinder that only serves as a generator for the motor and the 2.06 kWh battery, with no mechanical connection to the wheels.
The Kicks e-Power is capable of sprinting from zero to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds. ‘In-gear’ acceleration is also strong, the car able to get from 100 to 120 km/h in four seconds flat. Fuel consumption is rated at 21.7 km per litre, resulting in a claimed total range of up to 900 km with the 41 litre fuel tank. You get a choice of Normal, Sport and Eco drive modes, plus a one-pedal e-Pedal Step mode.
