Aside from the new 2018 Kicks crossover SUV, which replaces the Juke, Nissan updates and upgrades its lineup of trucks, SUVs, and vans with new standard equipment, expanded availability of important safety and infotainment systems, and a greater variety of Midnight Edition option packages.

In Detroit, this week, Nissan gave the press a look at what may be the future Rogue or Pathfinder on steroids in the form of its Xmotion Concept SUV.

Nissan is replacing the Juke with something that is more appealing and roomier inside, but promises little in the way of driving enjoyment. Meet the 2018 Nissan Kicks, which arrives in June.

Nissan this week provided a glimpse of its future direction in car design by previewing an emotionally dynamic and futuristically styled Vmotion 2.0 concept car that will lead to eventually creating what the automaker describes as zero-emission autonomous vehicles.
