2018 nissan kicks for sale in kirkland tacoma seattle washingtonChilly temperatures and pouring rain didn’t dampen the 2018 Nissan Kicks at the 26th annual Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) Texas Truck Rodeo. Rather, the newly launched vehicle rose to the occasion and drove off with not one, but two awards: “Compact CUV of Texas" and "Best Value."
 
"Making its debut appearance at the Texas Truck Rodeo, we are thrilled to have the all-new Nissan Kicks named 'Best Value' and 'Compact CUV of Texas' – a category loaded with competition," said Dan Mohnke, Senior VP, Sales and Marketing & Operations, Nissan Division U.S. in a press release. "With its dramatic styling, personal technology, intelligent safety, efficient powertrain and strong value positioning, Kicks is a natural choice in the great state of Texas."
 
Unveiled earlier this spring, the 2018 Kicks has become a customer favorite with its practicality, fuel efficiency and cool styling. It is offered in three well-equipped grades (S, SV and SR) and boasts a 125-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood, which makes 115 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission and front-wheel drivetrain is standard and boasts an EPA-rating of 33 mpg combined.

Award season is upon us in the automotive industry and one of the biggest honors on the global scene is the World Car Awards. The contenders for the 2019 World Car of the Year were just announced at the 2018 Paris Motor Show and we are thrilled to announce that the all-new Nissan Kicks made the cut!
 
The Kicks was recently launched as a replacement for the now-defunct Juke and is aimed at the value-seeking audience that’s in search of a unique ride that’s all their own. Since its release, it has made waves with automotive journalists and drivers alike, who hail the Kicks for its affordable purchase price, spirited performance, good looks, and roomy interior with 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space.
 
The Kicks is currently offered in three well-equipped grades (S, SV, SR) with pricing below the $20K mark. All models feature a front-wheel drivetrain with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, delivering 125 horsepower and 115 lb-ft of torque. All of this comes mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission, which is rated for 33 mpg combined. The Kicks Color Studio also allows owners the ability to modify the crossover by selecting vibrantly colored interior and exterior details.
 
 
Winners of the World Car Awards will be announced at the New York International Auto Show on Wednesday, April 17, 2019. In the meantime, you can learn more about this top contender by scheduling a test drive in a Kicks crossover with our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington.
new nissan kicks for sale in tacoma kirkland seattle washingtonOftentimes car shoppers come into our dealership and head straight to our preowned inventory simply because they assume their budget won’t be adequate enough for a new vehicle. And even though there is no shame in buying a quality used car or truck, it is nice for shoppers to have some choice. 
 
In Nissan’s line-up, that vehicle is the 2018 Kicks. The Car Connection recently reviewed this all-new platform and dubbed it the used car alternative that “wafts its eau du voiture nouveau toward budget-conscious shoppers, luring them away from the preowned lot to the main showroom.”
 
But, truthfully, the Kicks has more to offer than just its new car smell, zero mileage and full warranty. With a starting price under $20,000, drivers also benefit from its incredible performance and full suite of standard features. 
 
The 2018 Kicks runs on a 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder engine, which puts out 125 horsepower and 115 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission with a front-wheel drivetrain is also standard across the board, which is rated for 33 mpg combined. 
 
At the base level, the Kicks S will fetch you the latest in-car convenience and comfort features, which can be hard to find in used offerings. This includes a 7-inch touchscreen, Siri Eyes Free integration, three USB ports, and Bluetooth connectivity. A rearview camera further bolsters the Kicks’ equipment, along with a six-speaker audio system delivering premium sound. Safety features also include automatic headlights, hill start assist, and a forward collision warning system with automatic braking.
 
Before you settle for a preowned vehicle well-beyond its warranty period, consider test driving a new 2018 Kicks from Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington. Our team can help you select the trim level to suit your budget and review your financing options. Call us today to get started!
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 year’s final quarter.

Why is this calculation so important to Washington critics? The Kirkland team has the answer: they’re using it as a gauge for the Kicks’ 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 region’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.
