Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
March 20th marked the first day of spring - a season of rebirth and regrowth. But, it's also the season when the highly-anticipated 2018 Nissan Kicks will hit dealership lots. First unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the Kicks drummed up a great deal of excitement from subcompact SUV fans, especially since this new vehicle is set to replace the now defunct (and somewhat polarizing) Nissan Juke. Models will be available for test driving as soon as June 2018.
 
 
The Nissan Kicks will be anchored by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, which will produce 125 horsepower and 115 lb-ft of torque. Aided by a smooth and efficient Xtronic transmission, the Kicks is expected to achieve fuel economy ratings near 33 mpg combined. It will be offered in front-wheel drive only, which will help keep its efficiency ratings on the higher end.
 
The 2018 Nissan Kicks will be offered in three well-equipped trims - the S, SV and SR. Among the list of standard features found on the base grade are Automatic Emergency Braking, a Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, three USB ports, roof rails and Intelligent Auto Headlights with adjustable sensitivity and timing (including twilight and wiper activation).
 
Inside, the Kicks promises a quality interior boasting a futuristic design, complete with a cabin full of the innovative features expected by its tech-hungry target audience. All trim levels will feature a 7-inch color infotainment system, along with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for added connectivity. Blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning and an around-view monitor are also standard.

First making its North American debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in late November, the 2018 Kicks is ready to take Seattle and the world by storm in spring 2018. Nissan is prepping the compact vehicle to offer a sporty yet fun-loving look and a stellar performance that excels beyond what the outgoing Juke provided consumers.

Nissan aims to wow car buyers from the very moment they lay eyes on the 2018 Kicks. The exterior is a feast for the senses, offering an emotive design that’s intriguing and exciting. The floating roof is distinctive, while the “V-Motion” front grille is now pleasantly familiar to fans of the brand while still offering a certain aggressiveness. The sharp, boomerang headlights and tail lamps make generous use of LED technology for fantastic brightness. Additionally, the compact car can be had in five two-tone combinations for those really looking for some extra style.



The heart of the 2018 Kicks is its motor. The 1.6L four-cylinder is wonderfully spirited. It offers 125 HP and 115-lb.-ft. of torque. It’s also paired to a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which means any “shifting” is imperceptible—there are limitless effective gear ratios that provide for the smoothest ride you’re likely to ever experience.

This week, the 2018 Nissan Kicks made its North American debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show and, not surprisingly, the response from automotive journalists and enthusiasts has been incredibly upbeat. 
 
Industry watchers are hailing the all-new Kicks for its youthful, yet sophisticated appeal, as well as its slightly larger interior, which was lacking on the Nissan Juke – the subcompact SUV that the Kicks replaces. In fact, the Kicks more than doubles the cargo capacity from behind the rear seats from 11 cu-ft. in the Juke to 25.3 cu-ft. 
 
 
But, despite its larger interior, the Kicks does feature less power under the hood. It comes standard with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 125 horsepower compared to the Juke’s 188 horses. There is an upside though and that’s excellent fuel efficiency. Nissan estimates that the 2018 Kicks will garner 33 mpg combined, which is sure to appease eco-conscious urbanites.
 
Inside, the interior features a clean, modern look with all trim levels featuring a 7-inch color infotainment system, three USB ports, automatic emergency braking and forward-collision warning. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility is also available, as well as a blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning and around-view monitor.
 
The all-new Kicks will go on sale in June 2018, so you’ll need to be patient as you await your next test drive. To learn more, contact us at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington.
