I bought one as my kid's first car. I'm surprised how light it is at 2700 lbs. It's 200 lbs lighter than a 2020 Corolla.

Also the bigger grill of the Kicks in the previous posts should be the 2021 Kicks here where I am.

The 2020 Kicks has a 1.6L I-4 with 122 HP. 0-60 mph comes at 10 seconds. I don't think the engine will be stressing the CVT that much. It won't see uphill mountain roads or even freeways either. It's strictly a city car and I think the Kicks will do fine.

The kid is helping pay for it and the insurance. It'll help build up her credit score.

Oh. I'm still suspicious with the CVT. I still think my choice (Mazda CX-3) would have been a better peace of mind.

I guess it's better she got the Kicks. If she got the CX-3, I'll be driving it too. He He.

i'm not really worried about the cvt for the next 200,000km or miles equivalent. those chicanos rebuilding them are pretty damn sharp.

in my neck of the woods, we don't have these trained techs or master mechs.

their camera-based aeb's are pretty damn good too.

How about the CVT built by the Chinese for Ford Territory?

No info on these chinese vehicles. Though It will have the same fluids as other cvts and oils. I hope the powertrain warranty is 10yrs like that of Koreans.

[papi smith]

Which Korean brands here offer that? The less known ones?

I think he is talking about Korean brands in the US specifically.
America's Best Warranty


The Korean brands here offer only 5 years. Kia with 160k kms mileage limit while Hyundai has unlimited mileage.

Looking back at my experiences with gas mileage vs longevity...... I prefer longevity. I hope I get at least, 10 years with the Nissan Kicks. My wife's Rogue is 7 years old. 3 more years to go.

My first 4 vehicles never even reached 10 years before I got rid of them. The first car I owned that lasted beyond 10 years was my 1995 Ford Contour SE (13 years). Then, my 2006 Hyundai Sonata lasted 14 years before I gave it away.

No stability control?

No stability control?

Didn't think the Kicks would suffer in the "moose test". That was surprising with how high it went on 2 wheels.

So, skinny tires, higher center of gravity and what am I missing? Would stability control have helped it prevent almost tipping over? Wasn't that more for sliding when braking during a turn but wouldn't really stop you from lifting? Not sure. Don't have a car with Stability Control

i think to some extent it would prevent a rollover as toyota managed to make the rav4 pass the moose test with an ESP update although there is still a limit to how much it could prevent a rollover as toyota also had to increase tire pressure for the hilux to make it pass the moose test.

I think US Kicks have ESC. My kid's Kicks takes a turn much better than my old 06 Sonata which had ESC.

The New 219 Nissan Kicks Available in Rockingham, NC

Also, as someone who actually was involved in a deer collision with my 06 Sonata, I was taught never to attempt that moose maneuver. Without guiding pylons, any car can potentially flip over when attempting to avoid an obstacle. There is no way to predict how people will actually react.

Nissan PH will launch e-Power hybrid with good pricing | Autoindustriya

While it has yet to be confirmed, we do know that it will not be the Note. That's because the five-door hatchback is only made in right-hand drive (RHD). This leaves us with the Kicks e-Power as the only possible model Nissan will reveal for the Philippines.

the electric motors power the wheels directly. It also has a 1.2-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine which only serves as a generator to the inverter and electric motors. Overall, the Kicks has 129 PS and 260 Nm of torque.

Walang lead acid battery, at CVT?
Mukhang okay na alternative sa Corolla Cross Hybrid.

E-power ang nasa space ng transmission. Simplified hybrid na mas approachable sa ordinary motorists sana.

Sa Thailand base model Kicks Epower nasa 760k THB vs 1250k THB ng Corolla Cross GRS HEV.

Curb Weight: 1,350 to 1,358 kg

Instantaneous max torque at 0 rpm. Hehe.

launching locally on August 2022 ....



if this is 1/2 the price of the Corolla Cross Hybrid, this should be interesting.

Siguro nasa 1.2M to 1.5M range.

Confirmed ba na walang 12V battery? Diba kahit all electric EV meron pa din 12V Battery?

It is intriguing lalo pag naging single speed transmission na itong Epower since walang kinalaman engine sa gulong expect to charge the battery. So it would be great pag nawala na CVT/AT Transmission sa maintenance na iisipin regularly.

Curious as well about the price. how close it would be to TOTL subcompact SUV Turbo (or non Turbo) ICE models ng other brands.
