2020 Nissan Kicks

[uls]

if this can generate stable 20kilomters per liter whether traffic or mabilis eh pwede. Pero kung 20KPL pag mablis lang eh sayang pera.

mag full electric na lang para hindi gaano complicated makina. May pinakita sa news ilan EV na nakita ko kahit baha hindi tumitirik

full electric

tapos gasoline generator pang charge

hehe

Tesla owner carries a generator around 😢 - YouTube

agree, although
(from local reviews)

Kicks - 18km/l
Cross - 25km/l

if both cars travel for 100kms, the difference will only be PhP 116 (gas at PhP 75 per liter)

my question is, how bad can it go for the Kicks?

I've seen reviews of the Cross mentioning 18km/l on a bad day.

I did read about the Corolla hybrid twins fuel efficiency drops in prolonged stop and go traffic. When the battery has no time to charge fuel economy can drop to less than 14km/L, like even as low as 11km/L or 10km/L.

I did read about the Corolla hybrid twins not performing too well in prolonged stop and go traffic. When the battery has no time to charge fuel economy can drop to less than 14km/L.

yes. pero that one is in its worst case scenario (low-batt)

same with the Kicks, mag low-batt din sya where the engine will work harder.

[Walter]

Hybrids are generally not so efficient on long drives ...

[glntVR]

From what I know, Toyota Hybrid has a slight edge in terms of economy but the big difference is in power/torque
where the Kicks has better power & more enjoyable driving feel. Got to drive both and the C. Cross Hybrid was
slow and noisy when floored.

[glntVR]

Just hope niether the ICE nor the electric motors fail on you.

Magka problem yung isa, hindi ka na aandar.

After seeing foreign reviews from 2020, parang reklamo nila is yung off/on ng ICE. Very audible daw.

That refers to the previous e-POWER. According to Nissan, this was improved in the 2022 version of e-POWER.
Engine start/stop frequency is less and it's timed when the car is running so it's masked by background noise.

Was able to drive the Kicks and it was fairly quiet. NVH is quite good around the City, engine start/stop was fairly
smooth. Haven't tried it in the highway though.

Pero sa kicks, naka set yung engine to run at its most efficient rpm... kung maganda yung power delivery nung genset ma charge nya ng ayos yung batt..

Sa hybrid kasi, yung engine mismo ang mag propel sa car pag na consume na yung batt

Overall width means this is a big car, wider than Ford Territory.
Hopefully, this is just the width from side mirror.

Probably a typo. According to the Nissan Thailand website, the Kicks e-Power is 1760mm wide.

Kicks is a subcompact crossover/SUV roughly the same size as a Geely Coolray.

[kagalingan]

Magkakataloh sa tipid ng fuel. Kung magawa nito effortless 20KPL eh pwede iconsider basta hindi mahal PMS.

kasi other cars normal na at 40 to 60kph kaya 12 to 14kpl sa short road quezon avenue yan. Pero commonwealth kaya hangang 16 to 18 pero concious apak.

Maganda pricing ni nissan dito sa e-pow peeo sino gusto mag guinea pig???

Kung ibagsak ng 1.4milyones yung BYD dolphin eh game na ako for my first E.V

My guess is the e-Power's very small battery + gasoline engine combo is probably much cheaper than the BYD Dolphin's much bigger battery pack. This is why Nissan can price the Kicks low.

ganyan similar answer ng Toyota dati kung bakit mas gusto nila hybrid.
(sorry, di ko na i-search yung source ko)

kesa daw maglagay sila ng isang malaking battery sa isang EV. hati hatiin na lang nila yung battery para mas madaming hybrid makinabang.

[ice15]

From Tito James.

A kick in the right direction

From my own personal experience, anywhere from 30-35 kms a liter in the city depending on how careful you are with the e pedal step. But it’s very safe to say 20kms per liter is a very realistic figure for those who aren’t paying attention to economy, especially after I was able to get 25kms a liter with 4 people and their luggage on board all the way to Bicol.

Hybrids make sense (now) for markets that still don't have proper EV charging station networks.

The years leading to 2035 will be very different though, this is when many manufacturers will drop ICE-dependent vehicles since many car-producing countries will ban the sale of ICE vehicles. This includes the European Union, Thailand, Canada, and it looks likes South Korea pledged to join the ban too.

From Tito James.

A kick in the right direction

For something for city driving, around 20kpl is a great figure to "get" on your regular commute/drive in the city.

To compare though, Deakin states on their end, they got city FC to "hover" around 25kmpl for highway driving. Not sure it the 30-35kpl in "city conditions" is all assumption since it was a media drive.

Because on the other end of the spectrum, Auto Industriya states in their latest article on the same media drive that they got 16kmpl in the city, and 20kmpl in the highway. Again, getting 16kmpl in the city is respectable. But I am curious what is the more "realistic" range. 30-35kmpl seems to be a hyper milers projection, which is not norm. I hope when they do get actual hands on with the vehicles, they also record average speed for their city driving conditions, and highway conditions to get a "Better" sense of the efficiency.

But it is great to see it is only recommended to use 91RON. No misinformation there as it is in the official brochures. And is it Zero G Seats just for the front, or both front and back seats?

[ice15]

^agree... 16km/l in the City is not bad. I heard the Cross normally gets 18-20km/l in the city.

20km/l in the highway for me is normal, I can do that with my Honda City... pero super effort

[111prez]

kicks VL first impressions ...

[ice15]

Cup holder situation is bad.
No rear vents, rear center arm rest.

100K difference over the Cross

really tough decision.

[Walter]

AG4 is correct ... the engine DOES provide power directly to the electric motor when needed ... we're getting the 2nd gen e-power ...
