Nissan Motor (Thailand) Co. has started local production of Kicks models, using its e-Power technology, the first production base for e-Power vehicles outside Japan.
According to the company, the Kicks comes in four models, starting at 889,000 baht (27,000 USD). Nissan began taking orders on May 15 with delivery scheduled from June.
Manufacturing of the vehicles at a plant in Samut Prakan province, southeast of Bangkok, is part of the automaker's 10.96 billion baht investment to enhance hybrid car production in Thailand.
