This video feels like Nissan is desperate to persuade the market in order to keep up with the Sealion 6. The only advantage the Nissan Kicks has over the Sealion 6 is that you don’t have to wait in line to get a unit.
The quietness of the engine due to its efficiency or absence and its replacement with a running motor only accentuates the level of the fit and finish of the car. I will never believe the Kicks is or could be a quiet car because it is undeniably entry level with ho-hum fit and finish and plastic trim quality. Squeaks, and lots of them, are to be expected. Road noise, tire noise actually get heavily amplified. So let’s stop kidding ourselves about this being a quiet car.
the only thing going for it is that the gas engine runs at the ideal RPM. can we even call the engine a range extender? (i dont know). can't plug in to charge. hella small battery at 2kwh (7 times smaller than Mini EVs) sell it at sub 1M maybe maybe it'll be a good buy?
Is that a Rex Navarette homage at the very beginning? That aside, aside from the brand name, I don't see any other advantage this one has over the BYD Sealion 6. Heck, even the battery technology/manufacturer!

So stick to facts only Good thing were in youtube and i dont see your real name as i might consider restricting your movement in the sealion 6 group for making argumments that can harm the image of sealion 6 owners
It's inability to do plug-in charging is the only downside this car has. I have the new Sealion 6 that can do more or less 1~2km per %. To be able to charge for free or at your home for 90% of the driving you will do daily is so convenient and will save you fuel in the long run. And that's not counting the blistering list of features you get on top of that.
The sealion 6 is a parallel hev whereas the kicks is a series hev. For the kicks to have a plugin option it must have a minimum 12kwh battery size to accommodate plugin charging. This would translate to higher cost which would defeat the purpose of nissan's target and the e powers you see wouldnt be priced competitively today in global markets Phevs generally are as expensive already as a full ev/bev. One of the exception being the sealion 6, ac mobility did admit that their margins are not big given their intention to transition the market to bevs hence why sealion 6 is priced very competitively. If you notice erevs/revs mostly in China are priced at a minimum $35k equivalent. And as mentioned most phevs priced at the price of a bev whereas the sealion 6 being an outlier

@@jdrs729 The difference between hybrid and electric cars comes down to how the car is powered.

Since its classified as an EV. You can essentially park it in EV designated parking slots in Malls right? ( The ones with chargers ) Knowing that you dont need the charger just the parking slot.
I mean you can, but like it doesn't have a charger so it kinda defeats the purpose and by that you take up space for an actual EV which most likely would need charging. As someone who owns a Kicks its tempting especially if the parking is full, but I just suck it up and be like, real EV owners would need this more than I do. I'll just stick to the regular parking spots or the PWD parking since I am a PWD.
No. Even evs/bevs/phevs only park there for charging only. It is a charging station not a parking station Once full you must move your car for courtesy
@@wEaKlY27 correct. Tho by law all public parking must have 5% dedicated parking to evs. Evs meaning all types of evs. Bev, phev, hev. This doesnt mean they have to be charging stations.

@@kentstructures4388 so whats a series hybrid then? If youre not satisfied with the hybrid term they can be considered as an erev/rev which is the exact same system just without plugin option

The last 3 months have been terribly hot. The last 4 summers too. Japanese car makers NEED to take responsibility for the cars they make!!!!!!!
Its a hybrid. Hev. Not a mild hybrid. A mild hybrid cannot propel the car alone via electric. Whereas a hev/phev can propel the car alone via electric Bev- full electric battery powered only regardless wherever the battery sources it powers via plugin
