Discover the Nissan Kicks e-POWER Sakura / Formula E Edition — a special crossover that celebrates Nissan’s Formula E victory and racing heritage with a striking sakura-inspired design and innovative performance.
Nissan Philippines celebrated its motorsport legacy with the unveiling of the Nissan Kicks e-POWER Sakura / Formula E Edition, a stunning tribute that combines high-performance inspiration, Japanese cultural symbolism, and innovative design. This exclusive crossover represents both a nod to Nissan’s global racing success and a showcase of its commitment to electric mobility.
The special edition Kicks e-POWER was created in celebration of Nissan’s recent Formula E Season 11 Championship victory, led by driver Oliver Rowland. It stands as a powerful reminder of Nissan’s enduring passion for innovation, speed, and precision, values that continue to define the brand’s DNA.
Following its debut at the Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM) Tour in Bonifacio Global City last September 12–14, the Kicks e-POWER Sakura / Formula E Edition has captivated car enthusiasts with its bold styling and symbolic details. This exclusive unit will continue touring key locations across Metro Manila, allowing more Filipinos to experience Nissan’s legacy in motion.
Every inch of the Kicks e-POWER Sakura tells a story of racing excellence. Its design takes cues from Nissan’s Formula E machines, featuring aerodynamic panels, sleek contour lines, and a distinctive performance strip that highlights its sporty profile. One of its most iconic features is the number 23 emblazoned on the hood and doors — a tribute to Nissan’s identity, as “Ni” and “San” form the brand’s name in Japanese. The number has long been associated with Nissan’s most legendary race cars, from Super GT to the cutting-edge Formula E lineup.
The model’s performance-inspired aesthetics are further enhanced by its upgraded Momo Revenge MBKPOL wheels (19x8.5, 5H PCD 114, Offset +40) paired with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires (245/40 R19), made possible through Nissan’s collaboration with Concept One. These additions give the vehicle a sportier and more dynamic stance.
“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. “The Kicks e-POWER Sakura is a visual tribute to our motorsport legacy. It represents how the same mindset that drives us to win championships also powers the quality and spirit of the cars we create for our customers.”
The Sakura-inspired livery is perhaps the most striking aspect of this edition. Wrapped in a blend of racing red and sakura pink, the design draws from Japan’s cherry blossom season, a fleeting yet powerful symbol of renewal, beauty, and cultural pride. The flowing sakura graphics from the hood to the rear quarter panel contrast gracefully with the vehicle’s sporty and aggressive silhouette, capturing the perfect balance between elegance and performance.
Those who take a closer look will notice intricate Easter eggs within the design, subtle references to Nissan’s electric racing achievements, Formula E liveries, and Japanese artistry. These thoughtful details highlight Nissan’s ability to merge tradition with innovation, creating a vehicle that tells a story of both heritage and future vision.
Catch the Nissan Kicks e-POWER Sakura / Formula E Edition as it continues its tour around the Philippines. This special model not only celebrates Nissan’s racing triumphs but also offers a glimpse into the brand’s forward-thinking approach to electrified mobility, where innovation meets emotion, and every drive tells a story.
