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.

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!
