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

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.
