Overview

The Nissan Kicks e-Power is a five-seat B-segment SUV launched in 2024, using a 1,198 cc petrol hybrid/REV powertrain, front-wheel drive and an eCVT automatic. It suits drivers after a compact SUV with this powertrain format rather than a conventional petrol-only option. Prices start from RM113,800.

Kicks e-Power in 2026 — what's new

Malaysia’s P15 Kicks e-Power carries into 2026 unchanged in VL and VLT form. A facelift arrives in Thailand for 2026, retaining a 1.2-litre petrol unit and adding a 136 PS, 280 Nm e-motor specification plus ProPILOT, with Thai pricing from RM96,000. That facelift is a Thailand-market development; the Malaysian range remains the two-variant P15 line-up.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should choose the VL at RM113,800. It gets the same 1,198 cc petrol hybrid/REV layout, 218 hp, front-wheel drive, eCVT automatic transmission and five-seat cabin as the VLT. The VLT costs RM121,800, creating a RM10,000 gap without any stated mechanical gain. On paper, you are paying for VLT trim rather than drivetrain hardware, so pay more only after confirming that its equipment list includes features you will use.
