It has been only one week since the Nissan Juke’s launch in the Japanese market and already the Juke has sold much more than what the company’s monthly targets were.

The engine produces about 114 PS of power and 159Nm of torque. The engine has Variable Valve Timing (CVTC) for both intake and exhaust improve performance and efficiency.
This engine is mated with an all new 6-speed Xtronic CVT. A 1.6 liter MR16DE petrol engine is also offered.
The Nissan Juke is available in 2WD and 4WD configurations. 4WD Jukes come with the ALL MODE 4×4i with a newly developed torque vectoring system. Though the Juke 4WD isn’t a very capable off-roader, this electronically controlled 4WD results in better handling on-road.
