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.

Nissan has announced that the initial batch of 2018 Kicks has come out of their Rio de Janeiro industrial complex and are now being transported to neighboring Argentina. The 933 units mark some of the first shipping anywhere in the world. They begin wider global production ahead of the modelâ€™s introduction to Seattle and North America showrooms in June of next year.â€¨â€¨

The Kicks is a fantastic new compact crossover set to shake up the market. It comes packed with a 1.6L four-cylinder motor offering 125 horses and 115-lb.-ft. of torque. The efficiency of the engine is astoundingâ€”the EPA estimates youâ€™ll receive an unbelievable 33 miles per gallon combined. And the Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) is smoother than any automatic youâ€™ve ever driven.â€¨â€¨

The exterior has a lot going for it, too. The now customary V-Motion Nissan grille is used to striking effect, while the headlamps are elongated and boomerang-shaped. This provides a thrilling look. LED technology is available both on the front and rear lights. Additionally, the inclusion of the eye-popping floating roof means there are a total of seven body colors and five two-tone designs offered.

At the Los Angeles Auto Show yesterday, the 2018 Kicks made its North American debut. The automobile is the latest in Nissanâ€™s award-winning crossover and SUV lineup and looks to add to that segmentâ€™s record sales.

Due to arrive at dealerships including Kirkland Nissan beginning in June 2018, theÂ Kicks is an all-new crossover set to shake up the automotive world thanks in large part to its incredible in-cabin technology. Thereâ€™s a 7-inch full-color dashboard display that is both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatible. Standard on all trims is a back-up camera, Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. A grand total of seven airbags further ups the ante when it comes to safety. Also, upper-trim variants include the class-exclusive Bose Personal Plus sound system, which boasts dual 2.5-inch UltraNearfield neodymium speakers nestled within the driverâ€™s headrest. Swanky!

The Kicks S, KicksSV, and Kicks SR models will bolster Nissanâ€™s SUV lineup, acting as a gateway to the rest of the automakerâ€™s similar offeringsâ€”the Rogue, Pathfinder, Armada, and Murano.
