Nissan Juke, beyond a crossover - Review

The new Nissan Juke is a vehicle that at first sight draws attention, but when you get into the car and you drive it, it changes your perspective.

It is certainly a sui generis vehicle, as its features as a crossover are higher than expected, making it the first Sport Cross, whose essence is of a modern vehicle, with great design and extensive technological equipment. It has a fuel efficiency of 27 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on highways, not bad for being an SUV.

Each detail in the new Nissan Juke is something never seen in another vehicle. Its exterior is defined by aerodynamic lines that give it a robust and agile appearance that breaks all schemes. Its headlights are inspired by Rally cars, and its taillights are boomerang-shaped, inspired by the 370Z, aerodynamic lines, and with the height of a crossover (height to the floor of 6.7 inches).

I-CON System

This new and innovative model included the Integrated Control System (I-CON System) that changes the drive mode according to your style and terrain conditions. These are:

Sport mode: you will experience the maximum power and torque available.

Eco Mode: improves the performance and fuel consumption.

Normal mode: is suitable for any type of situation by providing power and balanced consumption.

This Crossover Sport which is so innovative could not fail to have a wide variety of technological elements, for example, besides the integrated control system, offers climate control, and last but not least, all versions are equipped with cruise control and the steering wheel includes all you need to handle the audio, hands-free (Bluetooth), the trip computer (with fuel efficiency, autonomy, time management, and outside temperature). It also includes the Smart Key System with an ignition push button and engine shutdown, just to name some of its great attributes.

What do you think about the new Nissan Juke? Is it cheap or expensive? Would you pay $19,990 for the "S" basic model, or $23,630 for the "SL" full-equipped model?

Let's continue talking about the nice Nissan Juke....

Turbocharged Engine

Nissan Juke combines all the amenities so that the driver feels the speed, as their seats were designed with a sporty style for greater control and fast response (in sport mode), also has height adjustment (for the driver). The unique design and boldness of its center console, based on the fuel tank of a motorcycle, break with the conventional and are unlike anything you can see on the market.

It includes a piece of complete standard equipment such as automatic air conditioning, audio system with AM / FM / CD / Aux / iPod dock / 6 speakers, power windows, central locking system (driver-side), power mirrors adjustable and folding and you can also freely talk on the phone with the Bluetooth hands-free system while experiencing the power of the Nissan Juke.

Safety

A vehicle with the sporty character of the Nissan Juke must have essential safety features (for both versions) as an alarm with immobilizer, front airbags, side airbags(front seats), and curtain (a total of 6 airbags ). Active safety front headrests, 3-point front seat belts (with pretension and load limiter), and 3-point rear seat belts (ELR).

It also comes with features such as front ventilated disc brakes and rear solid disc ABS, Brake Assist System (BAS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS), and Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC).

It also has an independent front suspension (McPherson type) with a stabilizer and torsion bar. At the rear also includes a stabilizer bar and electric power steering, speed-sensitive, for increased stability when traveling at progressive rates of acceleration.

The new Nissan Juke is available in exotic colors, like this purple one.

The Nissan Juke comes in three models for the USA. The S model from $19,990, the SV from $21,310, and the SL from $23,630, which I think is cheap for an innovative and well-designed crossover. Just drive it and you will not regret it.

The Juke also comes in six colors: White Collar (white), Red Devil (Red), Blue Blood (blue), Silver Surf (silver), Black Night (black), and Rock Metallic (gray), and its interiors are black or red color (depending on exterior color).
