What Makes the 2024 Kicks the Ultimate Commuter Car for Columbia Drivers?
Columbia, TN, is a city with a rich history that’s home to all kinds of hard-working people. However, most of those workers are looking for quality vehicles that can make their commute as smooth and stress-free as possible. If you’re one of them, then you’ve come to the right place. As a proud Shelbyville dealer, we here at Newton Nissan South are excited to be your source for a new or used Nissan Kicks for sale near Columbia.
We know what our neighbors in Columbia are dealing with in their driving lives because we have a lot in common here in Shelbyville. We want a comfortable vehicle that’s prepared for hot summers, wet winters, and everything in between. It needs to be capable enough to traverse the rural areas nearby but deliver a smooth ride on city streets for visiting or commuting to Nashville. The Kicks is a versatile SUV that delivers all of that and more. If you want to know exactly why we think the Kicks is perfect for Columbia commuters, read on so you can get all the information you need to decide whether this model is right for you.
Excellent Fuel Economy
When you drive back and forth to work each and every day, all of those miles can build up to high fuel costs. That can dig into your hard-earned paycheck every month and leave you with less money to spend on yourself. If you log a lot of miles on Highway 31, then you’ll be happy to learn that the 2024 Kicks has an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 33 MPG combined and 36 MPG on the highway. Compare that to the average 2024 vehicle rating of 28 MPG combined, and you’ll see how that can save you plenty of money over time.
High-Tech Infotainment System
When you drive to work, you want to be able to use your commuting time wisely. Sometimes, that means keeping in contact with family, friends, or co-workers; other times, it means using that time to unwind and get in a little entertainment so you don’t burn out. When you look at the many infotainment features on the Kicks, you’ll find something good around every corner.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both come standard on the 2024 Kicks, so you can hook up a compatible smartphone and use all of your favorite apps through the vehicle’s interface, including the touchscreen, physical buttons and dials, and voice commands. This lets you safely access maps, music, messaging, and more so you can stay connected during your commute. The Kicks is also available with a Wi-Fi hotspot that lets you get internet access wherever you go.
Standard Safety and Driver Assistance Features
Commuters often have to drive during the busiest times of the day on busy roads and even freeways like I-65. Whether you’re driving across Columbia, making a quick trip to Franklin, or heading all the way to downtown Nashville every day, you can drive with confidence when you have a full array of safety features watching your back. The 2024 Kicks comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360, which has the features you need to stay fully aware of your surroundings and avoid collisions from the freeway at rush hour to a busy parking lot. All of these features come standard across all trims:
- Forward Collision Warning
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Departure Warning
- Rear Automatic Braking
- Blind Spot Warning
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- High Beam Assist
- Rear Sonar System
Versatile Interior
If you commute to work, then it makes sense to mainly focus on what features make a vehicle good for commuting. But what about the weekends? The best commuter vehicle is one that’s not just good for driving to work but also doubles as a family car, road trip vehicle, and errand-running machine. Luckily, the versatile Kicks can be re-configured to handle all of these tasks and more.
The interior seats up to five people comfortably, with plenty of room in the front and back rows, so you can carpool with co-workers or fit all of your friends and family inside for weekend getaways around Columbia. If you need cargo space instead of room for passengers, it’s easy to fold down the back seats and expand the cargo area as much as you need to. A 60/40 split in the back row lets you fold down all three seats, two of them, or just one, so you can strike the perfect balance for every trip. Up front, the comfortable Zero Gravity seats are designed to reduce fatigue so you can tackle a drive of any length.
Be Ready for Any Weather
On higher trim levels, you can take advantage of available features that give you even more control over the temperature in the cabin. We all know that it can get hot and humid during the summer here in Tennessee, and while winters tend to be milder, we’re not exactly strangers to frost. No matter what mother nature throws at you, you can be ready for it with the comfort features available in the Kicks.
Available heated front seats and a heated steering wheel cut through winter chills and keep you warm and cozy on early morning drives, and rear passenger under-seat heater ducts keep your backseat passengers equally toasty. Automatic Temperature Control lets you get the cabin’s temperature right where you like it and keep it there so you don’t have to fiddle with the AC settings while you drive. Remote engine start takes things even further by letting you get the heat or air conditioning started before you even get into the car, so you can be prepared for any kind of weather.
Great Value
Clearly, the 2024 Kicks has a lot to offer Columbia drivers, but that doesn’t mean anything if you can’t afford to buy one. We believe that quality cars should be available for everyone, not just people with a lot of money to burn. That’s why we’re proud to offer vehicles like the Kicks that aren’t just versatile and fun to drive but affordable, too. The base trim level has a starting MSRP of $20,950, and even the top SR trim with the available Premium Package added on to get heated front seats, extra security features, and a premium Bose sound system still comes in at well under $30,000.[a] Since the Kicks is both affordable and well-built with all of the features commuters are looking for, it delivers great value, giving you maximum bang for your buck.
