Nissan has officially launched the second-generation, all-new Nissan Kicks in its home market of Japan. This completely redesigned compact SUV combines an aggressive, modernized aesthetic with a massive leap forward in powertrain technology, specifically tailored for Japanese roads.
Unlike variants sold in other global regions, the Japan-market Kicks relies exclusively on Nissan’s signature e-POWER hybrid technology. Instead of driving the wheels directly, the onboard gasoline engine acts purely as a generator, supplying electricity to high-output electric motors. This unique setup delivers the instant torque, seamless acceleration, and whisper-quiet operation of a fully battery-electric vehicle without the need to plug in.
Furthermore, Nissan has addressed key customer demands by introducing an electric 4WD layout to the Japanese lineup, providing superior traction and confidence during snowy winters or wet mountain drives.
Key Specs & Standard Features
- Powertrain: 3rd-Gen e-POWER Series Hybrid (1.2L 3-cylinder engine paired with high-output electric motor)
- Drivetrain Options: 2WD (Front-Wheel Drive) or Electric 4WD (dual-motor setup)
- Fuel Efficiency: Up to 23.0 km/L (WLTC standard) for 2WD models
