    Considering that the Kicks e-Power is nearly the size of the Corolla Cross, the pricing seems to be very competitive. Let's hope the features are the same as, or at least close enough, to the hybrid Corolla Cross (which has Toyota Safety Sense).

    What we know for sure is that the Kicks will likely have better acceleration and torque (at 0 rpm, too). That alone makes it poised to be a disruptor in the market if the listed prices are to be believed.

    as per TopGear

    The VL and VE also get Nissan Intelligent Mobility features like the around-view monitor, forward collision warning, emergency braking, and driver attention alert. The top-spec VL gets automatic headlights, leather seats, six speakers, and front foglights.
    so yes, that's very competitive.

    I guess Kicks will also have an electronic parking brake

    I'm hoping this pushes Toyota PH to release a Corolla Cross with a 360 camera

    Partial specs sheet of the 2023 Kicks e-Power just released from Yugatech (of all places):

    Just a moment...


    EDIT: Here's another specs sheet and pricing article:

    Is it true? This unit has no transmission since the motor directly drives the wheel?
    So no CVT/AT?

    1 reduction gear para sa electric motor. Parang sa mga Tamiya siguro.

    So peace of mind since no JATCO CVT components then.

    Yes. Simplified setup. Hybrid na less components, at weight penalty. Bakit kaya hindi ito naisipan dati? Matagal na din ganitong concept sa diesel electric trains.

    It's purely driven by the electric motor. So no revving of the engine here.

    I'm more interested sa X-Trail e-Power. Kicks is smol car and is old, been around 2016 pa. Expect an all-new model relatively soon.

    agree... If this is the P15 means our units comes from China, I wonder how long will Nissan keep this platform
