Back in 2010, Nissan unveiled the quirky subcompact model known as the Juke. Hoping to appeal to a younger demographic, the Japanese automaker designed it to be curvy and cute with loads of cool tech features. Its uniqueness made it a popular choice among the cool kids, and the company saw room for improvements. That’s why they made the all-new 2018 Kicks!
Both petite crossovers share an individualistic style, affordable price point, and bold elements to attract attention. However, the 2018 Kicks boasts a larger grille constructed with the VMotion shape. Its face has lower foglights without the circular design of its predecessor. The front bumper is also wider and thinner than the Juke’s, making it look like an even smaller version of the Rogue Sport.
Powered by a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, the Kicks generates 125 hp and 115 pound-feet of torque. Equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), it has an outstanding fuel economy set at 33 mpg combined (31 city/36 highway). It can carry five passengers and has 25.3 cubic feet of cargo room behind the back row. To access up to 53.1 cubes, simply fold down the seats.

A recent review of the 2018 Nissan Leaf is overwhelmingly positive. The writer took his vehicle on a cider doughnut tour, stopping in a variety of places across the northeast to find the best autumnal treats. While doing so, he made notes on the vehicle’s efficiency and performance.
When they started out on their quest for doughnuts, the reviewer noted that the Leaf showed 159 miles of range and 99 percent battery efficiency. They planned to cover just 121 miles, and the auto is rated for 151. It was only 45 degrees out that day, though, which the article noted could hurt the range of the car. It ended up rising to 61 degrees by the end of the afternoon, however.
The reviewer loved his doughnuts, and he also seemed to love the Leaf. He raved about the heated seats and steering wheel, and everyone in the car was comfortable for all 5.5 hours of their trip. They ended up covering 114 miles in total and had 24 remaining by the time they got home.

With its futuristic body style and sleek lines, it’s easy to assume that the 2018 Nissan 370Z Touring is an all-new model. However, it’s actually the result of over 50 years of automobile evolution.
First imported to the United States in 1961, the Datsun Fairlady 1200 Roadster was the sporty coupe that started it all. Over the next seven years, things began to change. By 1971, the Japanese car company had renamed this beauty the 240Z and equipped it with a bigger 2.4L 6-cylinder motor that pumped out a 156 hp. Convenience features like radio, carpeted floors, and A/C were also added.
It took another 32 years for this zippy ride to transform into the Nissan 350Z. With the same mechanisms under the hood, this wasn’t enough to please consumers. That’s when the 370Z was born in 2010. This new member of the speedster family was praised for its aggression on the road, but they didn’t stop there.
The new 2018 Nissan 370Z is like nothing you’ve seen before. Its massive 3.7-liter V6 engine produces an astounding 332 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The Touring trim level showcases leather and simulated suede upholstery with an advanced infotainment and navigation system.Â
