The Kicks, launched in Japan last June, was also named one of the "6 Best Cars of the Year" by RJC.
The Kicks’ advanced e-Power system was
chosen for its powerful, responsive ride as well as the high level of
quietness, achieved by reducing the frequency of engine operation at low
speeds compared with previous e-Power systems. The Kicks was named a
top model overall due to its acceleration, design and exhilarating
performance.
Nissan’s e-Power technology offers fully electric
motor drive. The wheels are driven exclusively by an electric motor,
while a gasoline engine charges the car’s high-output battery, running
at optimal speeds to ensure fuel efficiency.
The Kicks is Nissan’s third model with e-Power, following the Note e-Power and Serena e-Power.
