Chilly temperatures and pouring rain didnâ€™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: â€œCompact 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' â€“ 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.

Oftentimes car shoppers come into our dealership and head straight to our preowned inventory simply because they assume their budget wonâ€™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.Â

In Nissanâ€™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 â€œwafts its eau du voiture nouveau toward budget-conscious shoppers, luring them away from the preowned lot to the main showroom.â€

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.Â

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.Â

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 Kicksâ€™ 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 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 carâ€™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
Tags:

(Posted on Jun 11, 2018 at 12:33AM by Lee Byard)

Itâ€™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 isnâ€™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 weâ€™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 Jukeâ€™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.
