The recently previewed 2024 Nissan Kicks e-Power will officially launch in December, marking the arrival of Nissan's first e-Power model in Malaysia β which is claimed to effectively combine the benefits of battery electric vehicle (BEV) driving with the convenience of an internal combustion engine.
The Kicks e-Power will stand out in the compact SUV market by delivering responsive, electric-like performance without the need for external charging. At the heart of e-Power technology is an electric motor that solely powers the wheels, providing instant torque and seamless acceleration to a BEV.

Unlike other BEV models, the Kicks e-Power eliminates range anxiety by using a small gasoline engine that charges the battery as you drive. This setup reduces tailpipe emissions while ensuring optimal fuel efficiency, making it an ideal choice for city drivers looking to minimize their carbon footprint.
Nissanβs approach aligns with its Arc Business Plan, aiming to balance conventional internal combustion engines (ICE), hybrids, and BEVs in markets worldwide as part of the transition to a carbon-neutral future.
As the internal combustion engine of the e-Power system only generates electrical energy and operates under fixed conditions, it can consistently achieve a high level of thermal efficiency which improves overall fuel efficiency while reducing tailpipe emissions and COΒ² output.
In the ongoing development of next-generation Nissan e-Power systems, a global milestone in engine thermal efficiency was achieved during testing β a technological breakthrough with the potential to significantly improve fuel efficiency and to further reduce COΒ² outputs of forthcoming e-Power systems.
In anticipation of the Kicks e-Power launch, Edaran Tan Chong Malaysia has rolled out the βApa E?β campaign. This interactive initiative encourages Malaysians to learn more about e-Power through a dedicated webpage and an engaging βApa E?β quiz on Nissan Malaysia's website, where participants can win exclusive Nissan merchandise.
Additionally, Nissan will hold βApa E?β roadshows across Malaysia in November, offering hands-on experiences with its innovative e-Power technology.
