Big things do indeed come in small packages. With the release of the 2018 Kicks SV Nissan proves that power no longer belongs to the hulking crossover market. Instead this utilitarian hatchback can deliver potent performance, allowing Seattle drivers to fuse each day with the handling they crave.


According to The Drive, the new Kicks SV yields impressive power. Beneath its hood purrs a 1.6L DOHC four-cylinder engine - which generates 125 HP (at 5,800 RPMs) and 115 lb.-ft of torque (at 4,000 RPMs). A 16-valve design produces superior intake levels, allowing air to move efficiently through the block; while a dual injector system sends steady bursts of fuel and maintains the performance-band. An XTronic Continuously Variable Transmission bolsters every sequence, smoothly gliding to optimum gear ratios; and electric-assisted steering strengthens each response, enabling operators to quickly navigate even the sharpest turns.

The 2018 Kicks proves dynamic, with critics noting a 0 to 60 time of approximately nine seconds. This - when combined with the car’s low curb weight (2654 pounds) - ensures a skid-pad acceleration of 0.56g and lets drivers fly down the highway.

Want to experience robust hatchback performance? Visit our dealership today to take a test-drive in the new Kicks - and don’t hesitate to request further specs and financing information as well.

It’s been a season spent at the pump - with every adventure stalled by your crossover’s low economy and greedy engine. Each hour seems to bring yet another station stop; and you’ve grown far too accustomed to watching the fuel gauge fall.

Isn’t it time for a change?


According to Truck Trend, the 2018 Kicks SR proves a balm for the efficiency-weary. Anchored by a responsive 1.6L DOHC four-cylinder engine, this Nissan hatchback promises top-tier performance (generating 31 MPGs in the city and 36 MPGs on the highway). To achieve these ratios it combines a series of smart mobility functions, ensuring that drivers spend their time on the road and not at the pump.

A dual injector system controls fuel distribution for the Kicks, allotting every drop in response to the real-time metrics of the performance-band. Continuously variable valve timing enhances air intake, maintaining optimal powertrain temperatures (and reducing overall resource demands); while an XTronic automatic transmission instantly identifies the most efficient gear ratios and eliminates costly downshifting. To further bolster success, the 2018 Kicks SR features hill start assistance - which lessens engine strain on high inclines and helps to counter the need for excess gasoline.

Through this, Nissan’s hatchback promises a combined MPG ratio of 33 - ensuring class-leading results all season-long. To learn more visit our dealership today!

The seasons offer no reprieve - with bursts of spring rain transitioning into brutal summer heat, foggy fall days becoming a sleet-filled winter. Each month brings a new challenge to contend with, and too often does your crossover prove ill-equipped for the journey. It simply wasn’t engineered for Washington weather.

The 2018 Kicks SR was.


According to NorthJersey.com, the new Nissan Kicks is ready for each mile - with its fascia tailored for the ever-fickle Pacific climate. Power side-view mirrors boast heated lenses, allowing them to sluice away condensation and counter the cold. Intelligent Auto headlamps react intuitively to changing conditions, offering wider beam patterns in low-light environments; while LED bulbs anchor the front and prove perfect for foggy mornings. A rear roof spoiler lessens the impact of all gusts, smoothly diverting currents to reduce friction and enhance economy (experience 31 MPGs in the city and 36 MPGs on the highway); and the inclusion of a chrome grille lends durability to the platform.

To further impress, the 2018 Kicks SR also boasts an Intelligent Around View monitor - with cameras placed in strategic positions along the front, sides, and rear. This affords drivers a 360-degree perspective of the surrounding environment, alerting them immediately to potentially dangerous conditions (such as black ice).

The new Kicks is ready for every Sumner adventure - and all types of weather. To learn more about this hatchback contact our team today!

2018 nissan kicks for sale in seattle waThe all-new 2018 Nissan Kicks recently hit showrooms across North America, which means that automotive journalists have been clamoring for test drives as a way to review the subcompact SUV. One of those publications is Consumer Reports – they recently reviewed the mid-range SV trim and, boy, did they love it. 
 
They hailed the vehicle for its value, especially for urban drivers and those in warmer states who don’t need the enhanced traction of all-wheel drive. Pricing starts at just $17,990 for the base S, $19,690 for the SV and $20,290 for the SR. For new car shoppers on a budget, you can’t beat that.
 
The 2018 Kicks also scored top marks with Consumer Reports for its spacious interior. Even though the body of the subcompact SUV is diminutive, the Kicks’ upright styling creates a roomy rear seat with good knee and headroom space (33.2 inches and 38.5 inches, respectively). Cargo capacity is generous too with up to 53.1 cubic feet of storage with the rear row folded down. On the road, the cabin is quiet and relaxing with less road and wind noise than most of its rivals – something highway commuters can appreciate.
 
If you’ve been anxious to test drive the all-new 2018 Kicks, contact Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, to book your appointment today.

When shopping for a subcompact SUV, the market of makes and model is vast. With so much choice, it can be hard to hone-in (let alone test drive) all of the options that fit your budget and needs. 
 
The 2018 Nissan Kicks promises to simplify your decision. It was recently named a top 10 pick by the US News and World Report, which hailed the all-new vehicle for its low base price, excellent fuel economy and comprehensive list of standard features.
 
 
The 2018 Kicks is available in three well-loaded trims (S, SV and SR) with a starting price of $18,965. All models are equipped with front-wheel drive and a 125-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 115 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission is also included across the board, which is rated for 31 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. 
 
Standard equipment on the 2018 Kicks boasts a six-speaker stereo, two USB ports, Bluetooth, push-button start, and a 7-inch touch-screen infotainment system. However, if that’s not enough bells and whistles for you, you can also opt for the available eight-speaker Bose premium sound system and NissanConnect with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which allows you to easily connect your smartphone to the Kicks' infotainment system. Other optional features include automatic climate control, proximity key entry, remote start, satellite radio, a Rockford Fosgate audio system and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot.

Demand more from the hot-hatch market than convenience. Instead expect sport-inspired styling - with Nissan delivering the boldly designed 2018 Kicks SR. This platform (which serves as the successor to the Juke) will impress from every angle, proving a sleek addition to any summer adventure.


According to Kelley Blue Book, the 2018 Kicks injects a dynamic design into the compact market. A rear roof spoiler anchors the chassis, emphasizing the sculpted body (169-inches long, 69-inches wide, and 62-inches high) and wide C-Pillars. LED headlights wrap around the front and complement the lean fenders; while fog lamps punctuate the molded carbon-fiber skirting. 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels deliver a bright metallic burst; and an extensive color suite (which includes Cayenne Red and Monarch Orange) allows for complete customization, with single and dual paint trim packages available.

To further delight, the new Kicks SR also features a chic cabin - with racing-inspired seats delivering both contrast stitching and bucket styling. A leather-wrapped steering wheel yields supple textures, while the central console boasts the crisp LCD pixels of the Around View monitor. Even the most finicky fashionista will be thrilled.

Expect more from the highway experience. With the release of the 2018 Kicks SV, Nissan is bridging the gap between efficiency and comfort - pairing a lean hot-hatch body (169-inches long, 69-inches wide, and 62-inches high) with a suite of premium upgrades. Compromise is no longer a word within the Tacoma lexicon.


According to Kelley Blue Book, the 2018 Kicks proves a worthy successor to the Juke. Its compact form promises easy maneuverability and class-leading economy (31 MPGs in the city and 36 MPGs on the highway). More impressive, however, is the inclusion of the SV trim - which boasts a bevy of top-tier features.

Exterior

The 2018 Kicks now rests on 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, ensuring a sporty effect; while power side-view mirrors counter Tacoma’s fickle weather with their multi-level heating technologies. Wide-angle blind spot sensors further enhance the platform, assessing roadways and passing vehicles alike with radar precision.

Interior

An Intelligent Key system anchors this Juke-inspired platform, enabling drivers to control the engine, locking functions, and automatic climate controls with the press of a button. An integrated cargo cover waits in the expansive rear hatch (32.3 cu.-ft); and the media center has been fused with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, accommodating every smartphone download with ease.

The 2018 Kicks SV allows drivers to (finally) enjoy their highway commutes. To learn more about this Nissan hatchback contact our dealership today!

The downtown streets are ever-hectic - a surge of traffic and fickle stop-lights. You try to navigate the chaos, but too often does your hatchback prove ill-equipped for the task; and each commute is spent pressing nervously against the brake pedal.

Nissan believes you deserve an intuitive experience - with your car tailored for both maneuverability and safety. This is why it now offers the 2018 Kicks to Seattle drivers, ensuring that every downtown adventure proves positive.


According to CNET, the new Kicks is tailored for crowded streets. Its lean body - 169-inches long, 69-inches wide, and 62-inches high - weaves deftly through traffic. The short front track (59.8-inches) counters parking concerns, allowing drivers to slide seamlessly into even the tightest spaces; while a fascia-mounted stabilizer bar ensures precise cornering. The chassis is bolstered with both traction control and hill start assistance to promote superior handling, utilizing an independent strut suspension to create a balanced ride.

To further impress, this Juke successor also boasts a dynamic safety suite - which includes automatic emergency braking (the ABS is engaged when the car’s radar sensors detect frontal obstacles); rear cross-traffic alerts (side-mounted sensors interpret lane positions to determine whether a collision is imminent); and a 360-degree high-definition camera (wide-angle lenses are strategically positioned across the chassis and deliver real-time perspective feeds to the central media console). These systems work in tandem to bolster every press of the pedal.

The 2018 Kicks affords drivers a rare sense of confidence - allowing them to maneuver through every downtown street with ease. To learn more about this platform contact us today.

The 2018 Nissan Kicks Delivers Potent Power To Sumner

It’s an unassuming spec. You stare at the 2018 Kicks, knowing that beneath its hood rests a 1.6L four-cylinder engine. This seems a middling option for the hot hatch market; and you wonder how it could possibly replace the responsive (and now discontinued) Juke. This isn’t the upgrade you were promised.

We disagree - and so does CNET.

As the venerable news site explains, the 2018 Kicks will serve as the successor to the Juke. It will feature a four-cylinder engine, which (at first glance) seems less than thrilling. Performance ratios linger at 125 HP and 115 lb.-ft of torque, and Sumner drivers are already voicing their displeasure.

Give us a moment of silence and we’ll sway your opinion.


Though the Nissan Kicks features a smaller engine than its predecessor, it delivers superior performance - pairing natural-aspiration technology (which ensures a steady power-band, regulating both air intake and fuel distribution to maintain optimal levels) with a light design. The hatch boasts a slim frame of 2,369 pounds. Its distinct blend of alloy and carbon materials greatly lessens overall weight demands (the Juke’s entry-level model yielded 2,913 pounds); and this allows it to sail down every street. Its four-cylinder has been engineered for maneuverability, achieving a 0 to 60 rev of approximately 7.9 seconds.

The new Kicks - which is anchored by a seamless continuously variable transmission and a robust front-wheel-drive - promises dynamic handling on the highway; and it proves that spec sheets can indeed be deceiving.
