As consumers, we love having the ability to personalize our belongings â€“ from purses, phones and tablets to our homes, clothing and shoes, nothing is off limits these days. And Nissan is embracing this trend by offering a special customization website known as their Color Studio for the all-new Kicks crossover SUV.

The Color Studio brings personalization to the compact crossover segment, allowing Kicks shoppers and owners the ability to modify 12 curated accessories from a selection of five colors â€“ vibrant whites, blacks, reds, oranges and blues.

Want to snazz up the exterior? Easy! You can swap out the color of the front lip finisher, the rear spoiler, front and rear door handle covers, the rear bumper accent, and more. If youâ€™d like for the interior to reflect your unique style, you can also customize the color of the rearview mirror cover, door sill protector, air vent rings, or floor mats. Cool, right? Nissan thinks so too.Â

"As an affordable compact crossover, Kicks is designed to fit the needs of singles or couples looking for style, personal technology, smart functionality and advanced safety features," said Mike Soutter, VP, Aftersales, Nissan North America, Inc., in a press release. "The Kicks Color Studio adds an affordable way to further personalize the new Kicks, giving buyers the choice of adding just a few or the complete package of factory-backed Color Studio accessories."

The 2018 Kicks will soon be offered in three well-equipped trims (S, SV and SR) with pricing well-below the $20K mark. To pre-book your test drive in an all-new model, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan today.

Value proves forgotten among the crossover market. Kirkland drivers roam dealer aisles, searching for savings; but their efforts are always in vain. Every platform is burdened with high costs and low incentives.

The 2018 Kicks will change that.

According to CNET, the 2018 Kicks will yield strong value - with its base model costing approximately $18,000! This is $2,000 less than its Juke predecessor; and it provides drivers with the rewards they crave. Nissan has bolstered this platform with both a low entry cost and a suite of advanced standard features, ensuring that compromise is a thing of the past.

Among the included technologies are:

Safety - automated headlamps respond to low-visibility conditions, utilizing LED bulbs to cut through the dark; while the all-wheel brakes will seamlessly engage, using ABS precision to detect an impending collision. A rearview camera further enhances driver protection, delivering high-definition streaming and gridline route tracking.

Infotainment - the 2018 Kicks comes with a seven-inch LCD display screen. This provides easy access to the NissanConnect suite (which offers custom applications, including Pandora, iHeartRadio, and Yelp) and wireless Bluetooth links.

Power - beneath the Kicksâ€™ hood rests a four-cylinder engine, which yields 125 HP and 115 lb.-ft of torque. This anchors the entire fleet and ensures a smooth FWD performance.

With the release of the new Kicks Nissan provides drivers with undeniable value - delivering a budget-friendly crossover that wonâ€™t sacrifice capability. To learn more contact our team today.

2018 nissan kicks for sale in seattle wa

Looking to get your â€œkicksâ€ along Route 66 this summer? Well, now you can in Nissanâ€™s newest crossover to hit its line-up. Unveiling later this spring, the 2018 Kicks will take the place of the now-defunct Juke, promising Seattle area drivers practicality and fuel efficiency with more conventional styling.

The 2018 Kicks will be offered in three well-equipped trims (S, SV and SR) with pricing beginning at $18,965. All models will feature front-wheel drive only, which is ideal for urban drivers, and come with the same 125-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 115 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission is also standard across the board, which is rated for 33 mpg combined and fetches better fuel economy than the Jukeâ€™s 29 mpg combined.

One of the greatest advantages of the all-new Kicks is its capacity. In an article by Cars.com, the reviewer was very impressed by the interior layout and backseat leg- and head-room of the small crossover, which is often hard to find in this segment. The Kicks also boasts loads of cargo space behind the back seat â€“ 25.3 cu. ft. to be exact, which beats out other popular models, like the Toyota C-HRâ€™s 19 cu. ft. or the retired Jukeâ€™s 10.5 cu. ft.

Canâ€™t wait to go for a test drive? Neither can we! To pre-book your appointment in an all-new Kicks, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan today.

2018 Nissan Kicks Delivers Strong Economy In Seattle

The competition is fierce - with crossovers warring at the pump, trying to secure the highest MPG ratios. They know that drivers will no longer abide inefficient engines, and they seek to push the boundaries of economy with every mile.

They neednâ€™t bother. This battle is already decided.

According to the NY Daily News, the 2018 Kicks (Nissanâ€™s latest crossover platform) will deliver class-leading economy - with its combined MPG ratio anticipated to reach 33. This places it far above the competition, with even the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3 only able to generate a 31 rating.

How will it deliver such impressive results? The NY Daily News explains that Nissan emphasizes finely-tuned performance. Its 1.6L DOHC engine pairs continuous variable valve timing with an advanced 16-valve design - increasing overall air intake levels to optimize revs. The FWDâ€™s mounting position promotes a lower curb weight (2,489 pounds), which requires less power to propel the car forward; while the XTronic automatic transmission provides crisp responses, nimbly shifting between each gear ratio to eliminate clutch strain. All of these elements greatly reduce the amount of fuel needed per mile, and they enable the Kicks to more efficiently distribute its resources.

This promises a best-in-class MPG rating - with Seattle drivers now able to devote themselves to four-cylinder fun, rather than standing at the pump. Take advantage of this Juke-inspired platform's spirited performance (125 HP, 115 lb.-ft of torque) with every press of the pedal.

2018 Nissan Kicks Promises Ample Standard Features In Seattle
Tags:

(Posted on Apr 22, 2018 at 12:56AM by Lee Byard)

Standard is an unflattering word. When spoken by drivers it conjures images of lackluster specs and mediocre performance - the middling options slapped onto a chassis. This should change, however, with the release of the 2018 Kicks.

Nissan is injecting new energy into the standard feature concept - and Seattle drivers will soon find themselves experiencing premium technology on entry-level trims.

According to the NY Daily News, the 2018 Kicks (which will serve as the successor to the much-beloved Juke) is on its way - and itâ€™s bringing a comprehensive suite of standard features. No longer will drivers have to piece together advanced options through packages and aftermarket add-ons. Instead theyâ€™ll find themselves greeted by top-tier functionality, including:

Bluetooth - utilize integrated links to power both smartphones and the NissanConnect console (which delivers access to voice-activated apps and navigation software). This ensures that drivers experience no hot-spot lags and can always engage with their devices.

USB Inputs - three ports are provided, offering seamless content uploading from tablets, music players, and other compatible devices. These are placed in both the front and the rear to allow for full passenger convenience.

Rearview Camera - take advantage of real-time streaming and high-definition pixels, with this function providing comprehensive environmental scanning (courtesy of the radar sensors placed along the bumper).

Automatic Emergency Braking - intuitive front-mounted scanners survey the terrain, using extensive 3D mapping to note both uncertain traffic patterns and unsafe terrains. If an obstacle is sensed, these systems will release a forward collision warning through the NissanConnect monitor and then gently engage the ABS to reduce the chance of impact.

With the inclusion of these features, the 2018 Kicks offers superior technology with every purchase. To learn more contact us today!

The statistic proves staggering - with critics staring at a collection of numbers, expressions poleaxed and thoughts perplexed. The 2018 Kicks (which will serve as the successor to the Juke when it arrives in Seattle this fall) secures one sale every 10 minutes in Latin America. This delivered approximately 58,000 total units in 2017; and it should yield a similar number by this yearâ€™s final quarter.

Why is this calculation so important to Washington critics? The Kirkland team has the answer: theyâ€™re using it as a gauge for the Kicksâ€™ stateside success.

According to Web Wire, the 2018 Kicks has generated massive numbers in Latin America (particularly in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile). This platform averages 6.5 sales every hour - ranking it among the regionâ€™s top performers. Drivers have responded to its bold style and peppy powertrain, with demand rising every month.

That demand should follow the Kicks to Washington when it makes it debut later this year. Boasting a 1.6L 16-valve four-cylinder engine, this Juke replacement yields a sprightly 125 HP and 115 lb.-ft of torque. An XTronic transmission provides crisp handling, while electronic stability and traction control anchors the FWD (ensuring nimble handling around every curve). A twist-beam suspension promises all-terrain responses, blending shock absorbers with stabilizer bars; and all-season tires adapt to any road with ease.

The 2018 Kicks delivers premium everyday performance - making it perfect for Seattle commuters and back-trail thrill-seekers alike. To learn more about this crossover contact our team.

March 20th marked the first day of spring - a season of rebirth and regrowth. But, it's also the season when the highly-anticipated 2018 Nissan Kicks will hit dealership lots. First unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the Kicks drummed up a great deal of excitement from subcompact SUV fans, especially since this new vehicle is set to replace the now defunct (and somewhat polarizing) Nissan Juke. Models will be available for test driving as soon as June 2018.

The Nissan Kicks will be anchored by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, which will produce 125 horsepower and 115 lb-ft of torque. Aided by a smooth and efficient Xtronic transmission, the Kicks is expected to achieve fuel economy ratings near 33 mpg combined. It will be offered in front-wheel drive only, which will help keep its efficiency ratings on the higher end.

The 2018 Nissan Kicks will be offered in three well-equipped trims - the S, SV and SR. Among the list of standard features found on theÂ base grade are Automatic Emergency Braking, a Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, three USB ports, roof rails and Intelligent Auto Headlights with adjustable sensitivity and timing (including twilight and wiper activation).

Inside, the Kicks promises a quality interior boasting a futuristic design, complete with a cabin full of the innovative features expected by its tech-hungry target audience. All trim levels will feature a 7-inch color infotainment system, along with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for added connectivity. Blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning and an around-view monitor are also standard.

With the passing of the Nissan Juke, Seattle drivers find themselves bereft - floating aimlessly through a world that offers no quirky styling or peppy power. Their beloved crossover is gone.

May we recommend a replacement?

Soon Nissan will unveil its 2018 Kicks SR - the successor to the Juke. This platform should help to heal the crossover wounds and provide the upgrades Seattle drivers crave.

As Car and Driver explains, the 2018 Kicks SR will offer families the performance they deserve - with both its fascia and cabin tailored to impress. Nissan has fused this platform with a series of enhancements, including:

Exterior

Though not as whimsical as its Juke predecessor, the 2018 Kicks will still please. A chrome grille will define the front, with LED headlamps drawing attention to the powerful fenders. 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels will deliver five-spoke styling, and fog lights will offer boldly-bezeled designs. Body-colored bumpers will ensure a seamless effect, complementing the eight available shades (including Brilliant Silver and Aspen White).

Interior

Inside the SR drivers will discover multiple convenience features. Wireless Bluetooth links will pair with USB ports to provide endless content, while automatic climate controls will maintain optimum temperatures. A 360-degree camera will anchor the new safety suite, streaming real-time feeds to the Around View monitor and releasing a series of audio cues when obstacles (including pedestrians or passing cars) are detected.

The 2018 Kicks SR will prove a worthy successor to the Juke - and we canâ€™t wait to see it on the Seattle streets.

A 7-inch touchscreen frames the central console, offering high-definition access to wireless Bluetooth links and the Connect app suite (stream content from your favorite sites, including Facebook and Pandora). A BOSE audio shakes the cabin, with its speakers embedded directly into the seats to ensure quality sound; while SiriusXM radio promises access to thousands of channels.

The 2018 Kicks also boasts smartphone convenience - with Nissan fusing it with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto software. This allows users to instantly sync their devices with the Connect console, integrating their contact lists, music files, and more.

Seattle Benefits From 15 Years of Nissan Design Europe Success
Tags:

new nissan kicks news seattle washington new nissan kicks news renton washington all-new nissan kicks news seattle washington nissan 2018 news renton washington new nissan vehicle news seattle washington

Back in 2003, Nissan Design Europe opened their doors in London following the repurposing of a graffiti-covered transport depot. Despite that rather inauspicious start, the studio has become a world-class innovation hub thatâ€™s pleased to start its 15th year in operation at its current home. Moreover, itâ€™s celebrating the fact that itâ€™s been responsible for some of the Japanese automakerâ€™s most progressive and popular car models.

Nissan Design Europeâ€™s prowess over the past decade and a half has been primarily exhibited through the manufacturerâ€™s crossovers. The studio first birthed the Qashqai concept in 2003, which later gave way to the â€œlittle brother,â€ the Juke. However, of interest to 2018 model year shoppers is the way that latter vehicle has led to the introduction of the fantastic new Kicks SUV.

The 2018 Kicks benefits from the dual focus on practicality and emotion that highlighted many of Nissan Design Europeâ€™s creations, including the Juke. The new vehicle offers a sensational floating roof aestheticÂ and positively aggressive boomerang-shaped front and rear LED lamps. Additionally, the signature V-Motion grille exudes all the style and character customers have come to expect in recent years.

â€¨â€¨However, theÂ Kicks also boasts the practicality of fine engineeringâ€”namely, a 1.6L four-cylinder that cranks out 125 HP and 115-lb.-ft. of torque. Fuel economy is also fantastic at an average of 33 MPG combined, and operation is smooth sailing thanks to the Xtronic continuously variable transmission.

Ring us at Kirkland Nissan at your convenience to discuss the upcoming Kicks, on sale this June!
