Nissan recently presented its Kait SUV, which was actually a restyling of the old Kicks.

In Brazil, the mechanics were kept the same. However, this same Kait, with the same design, was presented by Nissan in Thailand with the e-Power system, which is a small combustion engine, 1.2 aspirated, which turns an alternator, which charges a battery, which provides electrical energy for the engine to drive the wheels. That is, it runs electrically, but the electric energy comes from a small combustion engine.

But this Nissan e-Power system will come to Brazil later this year, aboard its X-Trail SUV, which has already been sold here, but has been missing for a while.
