Nissan PH Electrifies PIMS with Full Model Lineup and Test Drives

Taking a cue from the motor show’s theme "Mobility + Humanity: Innovating for the Common Good," Nissan’s exhibit focuses on the all-new Nissan Kicks e-POWER, which is front and center at its booth in the 8th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS). Attendees have the chance to experience its powerful, fully electric motor-driven system by doing a test drive at the World Trade Center outdoor test area.

"Coming together for the first time in a while to celebrate innovation for the common good makes this event all the more significant," says Nissan Philippines President Juan Manuel Hoyos. "Like this year's PIMS, Nissan Philippines also strives to provide innovations and technologies that put the needs of the Filipino motorist at the forefront. Events like this undoubtedly raise awareness for this cause, and we're glad to see it happening on an industry-wide scale."

The Nissan LEAF's sustainability was also given the spotlight. An outdoor display was set up to feature the vehicle being charged via solar panels, in order to provide power to the entire Nissan booth through its V2L or vehicle-to-load capabilities. This technology can also be used in emergencies such as blackouts and disasters. The visitors witnessed how the Nissan LEAF's EV technology is ready to empower and serve communities as to how it can help address social concerns like ecotourism, energy management, environment, and disaster relief.

Nissan's latest offering in the MPV segment, the Livina, is also featured at the motor show. Being one of the biggest segments in the country, Nissan sought to provide an MPV option that put together its signature innovation with the vehicle needs of young and modern families who seek a practical and comfortable ride.

Those who will visit the booth this weekend will also see the Terra with its bolder design, unmatched comfort, and strengthened road power, along with the Navara which is ​smarter, tougher, with unique, aggressive design elements, and is infused with Nissan Intelligent Mobility tech. The Patrol was also present at the Nissan booth. It embodies Nissan's 70 years of legendary SUV heritage with its enhanced safety features and a class-leading design.

Lastly, the legendary Nissan icon, the GTR, was present to further build up the excitement with its performance and speed. All of these exciting vehicles are available for viewing.

"The continued growth of Nissan is attributed to our increased focus on safer, smarter and more sustainable mobility and we are happy to share our full vehicle line-up that highlights all of that," remarks Hoyos. "We're excited to be here alongside our fellow manufacturers, and see the work that the industry is doing to create a better world through electrified and innovative vehicles," he states.
