Kicks owner here, you guys had the best review of the Nissan kicks. You explained the technical aspects perfectly. The gas consumption isn't as good as claimed but it's still pretty good, especially if you take into account how quick it is. I do agree with you criticism that it would have been better if they included a plug in option but at the price point (considering that the cheapest PHEV costs almost 1M more) who am I to complain. I've Been driving it for a month now and I think nissan has a winner here

The reason why we can not charge the battery of the Kicks in our homes before using the car later is that one full charge of the Kick's battery will last only for 20 kilometers. That is why Nissan didn't install a charging port. But I suppose if you'll upgrade the battery by at least 20 times the capacity, that would be perhaps have some reason to install a charging port!

The moment I see Vince doing the review I instantly hit the like button.

Bought it and currently enjoying the excellent fuel efficiency! 14 km/l sa HEAVY TRAFFIC pa lang! then yung instant torque grabe yung hatak talaga

sobrang sulit manood sa channel na to. was considering between raize or kicks but after this review, super sold na ako sa kicks. thanks sir!! keep putting up quality reviews 💪

Well done yung review ! ganda ng clips at infographics ! tasteful din yung mga joke inserts ! definitley one of the most detailed car reviewer in PH

I think the no Charger negative is not really an issue, since the battery is quite small about 2kwh (may typo rin pala) so it's really not worth charging since it'll give you what? about 5 km of range and that's nothing on the large scheme of things

Yung about sa shifter, actually same ng Prius shifter yan sa 2021 Kicks model (hindi na to narealease sa PH, exclusive sa Japan) Sobrang recommended tong car na to esp for city driving and meron pa 1-pedal driving na hindi nabanggit sa video ata. Sobrang bawas stress sa stop and go traffic tapos wala pang-engine vibration na nagkkick-in tuwing aandar.

Reading data and watching other blogs, to preserve or lengthen lithium ion battery life avoiding to overcharging and/or have it drained is key. Since the gas engine charges the battery when it needs it, this system is advantageous in respect to the former.

The instant max torque is number 1 reason I may get this soon.

Thank u for reviewing the entry level model. Its more beneficial to most buyer for sure. Keep it up!

This sounds delightful actually. I have a regular 2021 Kickx SR, and I love it. But this sounds even better.

My concern as a potential buyer would be what kind of support do owners get for the battery in case there is an issue or failure, how quick can they be exchanged, are replacements even stored in the country or do they need to be ordered?

Nissan Kicks baby! Unit ko model 2019. Kahit 1.6 lang ang engine pero sumisipa! 3 years na pero di ako pinapahiya sa arangkada. Tipid pa sa petrol.

So far the cleanest review of nissan kick🎉❤.thank you

LOL one of the best part in the kicks is the gear shift that means to say you haven't drive it long enough the one thing that u will hate is the person who is reviewing at vlog usually doesn't know anything cause u cant really know anything unless you drove it more than 1 month! i have it more than a month still i cant say i know all! don't just read the book specs but u need to experience it!

Electric is the future! I like what nissan did with this one. I just hope the maintenance isnt too much.

no range anxiety but how about the anxiety of not having a spare tire 😅

I like how you discuss and present those things. I'm planning to buy one myself but there are two main things that bugs me: 1) the lack of spare tire, and 2) the realization that eventually the battery will eventually die. For the tire issue, my solution would be the same as yours, I'll buy a spare. But I guess I'll end up bringing it only on occasional long trips, or very important trips. For the battery concerns, sure Nissan has a 10-year warranty, but that would be vague. Would that only cover direct damage? Would that cover a loss of 20% capacity, or 50%, etc? Also would have been very valuable if the cost of battery replacement is discussed because it would be nonsense to talk about efficiency (or savings) if there are no hard numbers (even estimate) about the major expense that certainly would have to be eventually incurred down the road. Thanks

eto gusto ko kay Vince ung malalaman mo talaga ung totoo.

Thank you for your honest review!

Tingin ko di no need na yung charger since maliit lang yung battery. Actually mas ok siguro kung gagawing literal na generator/charger na pede gamitin pag brownout or pag may camping

17:39 Wow! Impressive launch! I want one!! :D

Best review of this Kicks variant by far! Great job Vince😊

Not too sure if the lack of plug-in charging is a negative. I mean isn't that the whole point of the car, to not require wall/socket charging? The peace of mind comes from knowing that as long as you put regular fuel in it, it will not drop to 0%. You also lose the extra hassle of opening the trunk, pulling the long charging cable out ,walking to the charging socket, plugging it in and then then doing the reverse as you leave.

I think this car doesn't need to be equiped with charging at home, because the generator already there. fill gas and go. Adding another function of charging may adding more unneccesary price hike...

Thinking out loud, a 1.2L ICE seems overkill as a battery charger. If the 1.0L in the Almera is the smallest engine in Nissan's parts bin, then they could've used an NA version in the Kicks for even more fuel economy.

One good thing i appreciate is that you can on the aircon while engine is shut off

Nice and very detail review

Well explained thank you so much!

I'm worried about the no spare tire and the future maintenence for the battery after warranty period.

No spare tire makes me worry. Even if you want to buy one where would you keep it?

Question po: With flooded streets during rainy days, would wading through be a serious concern?

Nice review as it's not the top of the range

i just noticed the honda legend at around the 21:57 timestamp

How about during rainy seasons, we have some flood problems. Wading depth for Nissan Kicks? How about its electronic systems during rainy seasons. Thanks

Jaguar/Landrover Philippines launched the iPace about a year ahead of Nissan Leaf.

how about the maintenance for the combustion engine? do you need to have it changed oil every 5000km or 10000km? I know that electric motors don't need maintenance, but how about the engine?

nice review

Battery replacement price?

Sana taasan pa Center Console... much pretty sporty looks

The battery size is only 2.3 kWh. I wish it were bigger like 5 kWh or more and the ability as you said to top up at home.

Would have been nice if you can have the option of charging it directly to an electric outlet

Ano po fuel nung generator niya? Gasoline? Diesel?

I’m confused. The Nissan salesperson said the VE variant has at least a reverse camera while 360 camera is reserved for the VL variant. Can any other VE owners validate this?

Honda HR-V S or tbis Nissan Kicks E-Power VE? 🙂🏆

Charging option I guess was not included on purpose for marketing a next "better" model with that feature.

The width here in this review is 1760 mm while based on Nissan's website the width is 1960 mm. Can somebody clarify this? TIA

maselan kaya ang Kicks sa light to moderate flooding?

PHEV would raise the price significantly.

External charger is useless because the battery is just 2 kwh (BYD Dolphin is 45 kwh)

My question is about floods. Did they test this vehicle in a scenario wherein the car is stuck in a flooded road for 5 to 10 minutes about the height of its ground clearance and is no issue afterwards?

para saken mas OK ung tire repair kit nlng kesa reserbang gulong... madali lang naman mag repair ng butas na gulong, kesa mag baklas ng gulong... paano kung 2 gulong ang na flat? eh di useless rin ung reserba? kung may repair kit ka khit 4 na gulong pa ang mabutas magagawa mo db?

So if the engine isn't driving the car. Why is there a charge option for the batteries? Does that mean the engine gives the electric power for the electric motors incase you didn't activate the charge option?

I like that color. We don't have the e-power in the U.S., but we do get a spare tire.

my dream car. hope sooner they upgrade it in more capable offroad rally car like the mitsubishi expander cross

Hello have u tried uphill?

15:24 - The almighty Innova spotted

How long do the batteries last? Like how many charge cycles do they last?

How many golf bags can you fit in the back

I like some solar option than a plugin.

@5:47 "let me explain why" hindi na-cut ni editor lol

No review for the cost of replacement of lithium battery

Sounds great for the price point, although I wonder how it (and hybrids in general) are designed to handle Manila's flooding.

agree with you regading the lack of spare tire even a donut type. this a deal breaker for me. no foglights on the base model?

Doesn't need a spare tire because of the tubeless quality?

how about the battery lifespan and cost?

Whats is the recommended octane rating for this?

How many seconds it takes from 0-100km/hr? TIA

Wait, why can't Nissan source their Leaf from Japan? Mas malapit yung Japan kesa sa UK

nice high res audio

Still pricey for me. 😥 i wish the TOTL Kicks is only P1.3M. The VE and EL lack really good features. I might just buy an ICE vehicle for my next car that's under P1M and consider the diff as additional gas money. 😪 i do hope they make cars like this more affordable in the near future.

nice 😊

Is there a reverse camera?

it's e-power, not a hybrid that switch back and forth from electric to gas...

For sure, waiting time would be in months.

Bkit daw magsusubscribe pra magkaron ng 360 degree view monitor??? 🤔🤔🤔 ano po b yan may monthly bill prang postpaid 😂

The batteries would take huge toll in its lifespan cause of the continues charging and discharging.

There is no shifting done, so a mouse is enough!!!

Im confused. Other car review claim this is full ev but why are they saying it s a hybrid

Fuel consumption wise,i'll go with the raize.

no spare tire because the curb weight is already heavy 1,345kg. what you carry around is battery, engine, generator, synchronous motor and charger everywhere you go haha! it's a lot!

Its not a gear lever! It has no gears in the first place for heavens sake, know what you are talking about😂. Its just a switch like an on and off switch😂!

the no spare tire is a deal breaker, particularly on long drives on unfamiliar places

wasted

NO SPARE TIRE????? HELL NO!

Another useless review of Kicks e-power that doesn't say about the life expectancy and price of the batteries. Casa is saying 600k for the replacement?

Coolray better

How long is the battery warranty and how much is the replacement?
