With the passing of the Nissan Juke, Seattle drivers find themselves bereft - floating aimlessly through a world that offers no quirky styling or peppy power. Their beloved crossover is gone.
May we recommend a replacement?
Soon Nissan will unveil its 2018 Kicks SR - the successor to the Juke. This platform should help to heal the crossover wounds and provide the upgrades Seattle drivers crave.
As Car and Driver explains, the 2018 Kicks SR will offer families the performance they deserve - with both its fascia and cabin tailored to impress. Nissan has fused this platform with a series of enhancements, including:
Exterior
Though not as whimsical as its Juke predecessor, the 2018 Kicks will still please. A chrome grille will define the front, with LED headlamps drawing attention to the powerful fenders. 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels will deliver five-spoke styling, and fog lights will offer boldly-bezeled designs. Body-colored bumpers will ensure a seamless effect, complementing the eight available shades (including Brilliant Silver and Aspen White).
Interior
Inside the SR drivers will discover multiple convenience features. Wireless Bluetooth links will pair with USB ports to provide endless content, while automatic climate controls will maintain optimum temperatures. A 360-degree camera will anchor the new safety suite, streaming real-time feeds to the Around View monitor and releasing a series of audio cues when obstacles (including pedestrians or passing cars) are detected.
The 2018 Kicks SR will prove a worthy successor to the Juke - and we can’t wait to see it on the Seattle streets.
