BANGKOK, Thailand: The Nissan Kicks e-Power recently showcased its electrified driving capability on a two-day, 650km drive from Hat Yai, Thailand, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Themed "Kickstart Fun Adventures with Kicks e-Power", the journey brought together media representatives from Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia.
The route from Hat Yai to the border town of Betong took participants through a mix of city streets and highways.
Along the way, a stop at the historic Tok Ku Chae Bridge provided a chance to take in breathtaking views of Hala-Bala Lake.
As they neared Betong, the terrain became more demanding, featuring a series of S-curves.
Participants on the trip noted that the advanced features of Nissan 360 Safety Shield kept the ride steady and secure.
After Betong, participants made a brief stop at Dataran Tasik Raban, a tranquil lakeside retreat within the UNESCO-listed Lenggong Valley.
On open stretches, advanced features like Intelligent Forward Collision Warning (IFCW) and Intelligent Emergency Braking (IEB) added confidence.
On the open road, participants experienced the quiet yet powerful acceleration of the Nissan Kicks e-Power’s electric motor drive.
In dense urban streets, thanks to the Intelligent Around View Monitor (IAVM) with Moving Object Detection (MOD), drivers benefited from a 360-degree view, making parking and low-speed maneuvers effortless.
Also, the e-Pedal Step eased driving and reduced fatigue by enabling single-pedal acceleration and deceleration.
Meanwhile, Eco and Sport driving modes offered the flexibility to maximize fuel efficiency or enhance responsiveness.
Nissan Asean and Thailand president Toshihiro Fujiki said, "At Nissan, our vision is to enrich people’s lives through innovative mobility solutions, with electrification at the core of our strategy. Backed by decades of EV (electric vehicle) expertise, the Kicks e-Power is a testament to this vision, offering a thrilling electrified driving experience.”
