Nissan has been selling the Kicks in several markets around the world and now the Japanese maker now wants some action in the Thai B-segment. And now the 2020 Nissan Kicks facelift has finally made its launch debut in Thailand, not only that, Thailand is the first country to produce Nissan's e-POWER technology after Japan and one of the first to launch it, providing a technical bridge for Thai customers towards EV adoption - consuming less energy, with better fuel economy, yet strong performance and acceleration.The all-new Nissan Kicks e-POWER technology features an EM57 electric motor, generator, and inverter that generates electricity from its 1.2 liters DOHC 12-valve three-cylinder engine. The e-POWER system offers a maximum power of 95 kilowatts (kW) (129 bhp), a maximum flat-torque of 260 Nm, and a lithium-ion battery—all delivering a driving experience similar to an EV. The 1.57 kWh lithium-ion battery in the all-new Nissan Kicks e-POWER has four modules that provide smooth acceleration, quiet rides, and increased fuel efficiency.The Kicks e-POWER also features four driving modes: Normal, S, Eco, and EV. In Normal, the car produces excellent acceleration off the line and stopping power (lifting off the acceleration pedal) that is on par with the braking of its conventional gasoline-powered counterparts. In S, the car accelerates even quicker with enhanced stopping power. In Eco, the car goes into gasoline-saving mode by regulating the battery power. EV mode uses stored battery electric power only, allowing a quiet drive experience without the petrol engine operating.The impressive model features 14 best-in-class Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies, including Intelligent Driving features offered on the all-new Nissan Kicks e-POWER. Other includes Intelligent Cruise Control, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection and Intelligent Rear View Mirror. Safety, security, and driver convenience features are another strong point on the all-new Nissan Kicks. Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Brake Force Distribution System, and Brake Assist are standard on all models, along with six SRS airbags.The all-new Nissan Kicks e-POWER also gets an updated design language. Among those established designs, signatures are Nissan's bold V-Motion grille, boomerang headlights, and taillights, and the "floating roof" with a 'wrap-around visor' from the windscreen to side glass. The wide C-pillar is 'hidden' with a black finish that blends into the tailgate glass, while the floating roof has also been exaggerated, giving it a distinctive and eye-catching appeal.Other exterior design features incorporate standard LED headlamps with Boomerang LED Signature Turning Lights, LED Daytime Running Lights, follow-me-home headlights, along with LED Rear Combination Lights. The new design features wide and longer exterior dimensions using Nissan's Emotional Geometry design language, while enhancing the all-new Kicks' interior space.The all-new Nissan Kicks e-POWER interior was created to accommodate a new instrument panel, infotainment screen, steering wheel, and seats. The passenger cabin features high-quality design and refinement, including the modern and simple "Gliding Wing" instrument panel design that is dominated by a centrally mounted 7.0-inch full-color display housing a comprehensive infotainment system.The all-new Nissan Kicks also offers a solid two-tone black and orange interior color motif that is exclusively available on the VL model. Intelligent Integration elements are powered by Nissan Connect, a multi-infotainment system with 8-inch touchscreen Color Display Audio (AIVI).
