Nissan Juke is the latest addition to Nissan’s crossover range in Europe. There is nothing subtle about the Nissan Juke, its stands out with its bold, futuristic design and a very purposeful stance.
The Juke has been highly anticipated in Europe and now Nissan has registered more than 15,000 bookings for the Juke across Europe. The Juke left Nissan shocked in Japan after it registered 5300 bookings within one week of its launch, while the company’s monthly targets were a measly 1300.
The Nissan Juke is not about the futuristic styling alone, it gets stylish yet practical interiors and is offered with a choice of 3 powerful and efficient engines. There are two 1.6 liter gasoline engines on offer, one a turbocharged direct injection engine producing 187 hp and 240 Nm of torque and a naturally aspirated engine producing 115 hp and 159 Nm of torque. Both these engines get dual fuel injection, that is two injectors per cylinder.
The 1.5 liter dCi diesel engine is on offer and this reliable motor produces 109 hp and 240 Nm of torque. All these engines would be offered with an optional all new 6-speed Xtronic CVT.
All wheel drive Nissan Jukes come with the ALL MODE 4×4i with a newly developed torque vectoring system that improves handling characteristics of the car by enhancing its agility and reducing understeer. The Juke is not much of an off-roader.
The Nissan Juke starts at 16,500 Euros for the base version and majority of the bookings have been for the base version only.
