It’s been a season spent at the pump - with every adventure stalled by your crossover’s low economy and greedy engine. Each hour seems to bring yet another station stop; and you’ve grown far too accustomed to watching the fuel gauge fall.

Isn’t it time for a change?



According to Truck Trend, the 2018 Kicks SR proves a balm for the efficiency-weary. Anchored by a responsive 1.6L DOHC four-cylinder engine, this Nissan hatchback promises top-tier performance (generating 31 MPGs in the city and 36 MPGs on the highway). To achieve these ratios it combines a series of smart mobility functions, ensuring that drivers spend their time on the road and not at the pump.

A dual injector system controls fuel distribution for the Kicks, allotting every drop in response to the real-time metrics of the performance-band. Continuously variable valve timing enhances air intake, maintaining optimal powertrain temperatures (and reducing overall resource demands); while an XTronic automatic transmission instantly identifies the most efficient gear ratios and eliminates costly downshifting. To further bolster success, the 2018 Kicks SR features hill start assistance - which lessens engine strain on high inclines and helps to counter the need for excess gasoline.

Through this, Nissan’s hatchback promises a combined MPG ratio of 33 - ensuring class-leading results all season-long. To learn more visit our dealership today!
