Nissan Philippines is flaunting its winning DNA with a design masterpiece: the Nissan Kicks e-POWER Sakura / Formula E Edition. This concept crossover isn’t just a car; it’s a moving trophy, created to celebrate Nissan’s massive achievement—the Formula E Season 11 championship win, clinched by driver Oliver Rowland. Blending high-performance racing inspiration with deep Japanese cultural symbolism, this Kicks e-POWER is pure visual storytelling.
Fresh from its showstopping debut at the Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM) Tour in BGC, this special Kicks e-POWER unit is a direct expression of Nissan’s commitment to innovation and style. It’s set to tour the metro, bringing a slice of the brand’s racing legacy directly to more Filipinos.
Where Racing Heritage and Culture Converge
Every detail on this unique Kicks e-POWER screams motorsports. It features aggressive, Formula E-inspired accents, from aerodynamic contrast panels to a sleek performance strip along its profile. The centerpiece of its racing identity is the prominent number 23 displayed on the hood and side doors. For Nissan, 23 is practically a badge of honor—the Japanese syllables “Ni” (2) and “San” (3) form the brand’s name, cementing it as an icon on Nissan race cars, from Super GT legends to the cutting-edge Formula E machine.
To enhance its powerful stance, the Kicks e-POWER Sakura rocks updated rims in partnership with Concept One, fitted with aggressive Momo Revenge MBKPOL wheels (19×8.5) and Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires (245/40 R19), giving the everyday crossover a track-ready look.
The truly striking element is the livery itself. Wrapped in a dynamic combination of racing red and soft sakura pink, the design draws inspiration from Japan’s fleeting yet powerful cherry blossom season. The blooming sakura graphics that sweep from the hood to the rear quarter panel are a poetic nod to Japanese identity, providing a stunning contrast to the car’s aggressive, electric performance core. Enthusiasts who look closely will even find clever Easter eggs referencing Nissan’s electric racing milestones and iconic liveries.
“Our victory in Formula E is a reflection of Nissan’s commitment to performance, precision, and resilience, values that define every vehicle we make,” said Masao Tsutsumi, President of Nissan Philippines. He added that the Kicks e-POWER Sakura is their way of showing how the championship-winning mindset drives the quality and spirit of every car they bring to the road.
