Nissan Kicks Fuel Economy Tips Malaysia — Standard & e-Power
Standard HR16DE: real-world 9–11 L/100km city, 6.5–8 L/100km highway. Tips: correct tyre pressure, timely air filter, 0W-20 oil, avoid prolonged idling, use eco mode. e-Power: real-world 6–8 L/100km city (city efficiency is much better than standard because regen recovers braking energy), 7–9 L/100km highway (less advantage on highway as regen opportunities are fewer). e-Power tips: maximise regenerative braking by anticipating stops early, use B-mode for stronger regen, keep A/C at moderate setting to reduce HV battery draw, avoid aggressive acceleration which forces HR16DE into maximum generator mode.

Kicks Fuel Economy Tips
- Smooth acceleration and deceleration — CVT works best with gradual throttle inputs
- Maintain tyre pressure at manufacturer spec — 3–5% fuel saving
- Service regularly: clean air filter, fresh oil, and correctly adjusted wheel alignment reduce consumption
- Highway driving at 90–100 km/h: optimal fuel efficiency — avoid 120+ km/h for fuel savings
