Nissan Juke Review
Nissan Juke will change the urban landscape ... for the third time. After WheelTracker Murano crossover success of the Qashqai - a car three years ago introduced the concept of a crossover as an alternative to the traditional sedan segment C - derived from a younger brother, the Nissan Juke.
Designed to bring fresh air to segment B, Nissan Juke is a unique blend of toughness and sporty SUVs. Designed to inject some masculinity and dynamism in the small car market, Nissan Juke combines a number of apparent contradictions in his highly individual lines.
"It takes the best elements of SUV and sports car and combine them," says Pierre Loing, Vice President, Product Planning, Nissan Europe. "This is a spacious yet compact, robust and dynamic, practical and fun. These are the qualities that seem to contradict each other, but come together at the Nissan Juke to create something truly unique."
Nissan Juke was created at Nissan Design Europe (NDE) in the heart of London, and refined at Nissan Design Center (NDC) in Japan. Engineering principles took place in Japan, with a significant European contribution and the Juke will be built at Nissans plant in Sunderland in northeast England.
"This design shows real optimism Combining design elements from two genres to create a small wound, but striking that shows real confidence and style .. And these are the qualities that we also expect to find in the Juke nissan clients," said Shiro Nakamura, vice president Senior to design and chief creative officer
From a design perspective, the bottom of pure Juke Nissan SUV, with chunky wheels, wide tires, extended ground clearance and a strong position. But for pure sports car, with a high waist, slender barriers like side glass graphic style roof line and cut down. Effect coupe is further emphasized by the rear door which has handled them hidden in the door frame.
Inside, the sports car theme continues with a taxi driven predominantly by a center console design inspired by a motorcycle fuel tank. Done in typical high-gloss color, "bicycle" adding a sense of fun for the car console. Convenience is guaranteed by the tailgate open and versatile luggage with hidden storage opportunities.
Based on the platform of the Renault Nissan Alliance B, Nissan Juke has a wheelbase of 2530mm. On front wheel drive version, the suspension is MacPherson struts in front with a torsion beam rear while four-wheel drive that has a model of multi-link rear suspension system on the model found on Qashqai.
All-Mode 4x4-i is a new development of Nissans electronic control system meets all of the wheels and now includes a torque vectoring technology to increase agility and reduce understeer when cornering.
In Europe, three different engines will be available when sales begin later this year (sales in the UK starting in October): one unit of two-liter diesel and the petrol 1.6, all fully Euro 5. At the top of the range is the new turbo petrol engine (MR16DDT) with direct injection. The engine is one of the most powerful in its class, developing 140kW (190p) and 240 nm. The combination of direct injection with turbocharger provides the power and the expected response of the 2.5-liter engine with the economy of smaller machines.
The second petrol engine is a version of Nissans newly developed HR-family beliefs. HR16DE appointed, light, low-friction valve 16 now have a single injection of double counting for fuel atomization finer for better combustion and develops 86kW (117PS). The 81kW K9K (110P) 1.5 DCI common rail diesel offers excellent maneuverability - with all the exhilarating 240 Nm of torque - with good economy and emissions.
In terms of transmission, two-wheel drive turbocharged 1.6-liter petrol is available with six-speed manual, while the CVT with six-speed manual will be available on the high end version of the all-wheel drive turbocharged gasoline engine.
Naturally aspirated 1.6-liter petrol is available with either 5-speed manual or Xtronic CVT day and 1.5 liter diesel engine is available with 6-speed manual.
Trim and equipment options will follow the established Visia, Acenta and Tekna lines while a wide range of accessories has been developed for owners who want to personalize their Nissan Juke again.
"Nissan Juke B-segment car is not traditional, which is quite deliberate She was born in an urban environment and where he spent most of his life .. Exactly, the combination of agility and durability make it one of the most Streetwise cars around.
"Juke joins Murano and Qashqai to cement Nissans position as a leading brand in the crossover market," said Simon Thomas, Nissans senior vice president of European Sales and Marketing.
The exterior design
First revealed as the Qazana show car - was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show 2009 - Juke was created in Europe, London-based Nissan Design and refined at Nissan Design Center (NDC) in Japan. Qashqai, also created EMI, sold in Europe, Asia and Australia while Nissan Juke will be marketed in Europe, Japan and the United States.
"The results of international collaboration is a car from which the East and West, with important contributions from NDE NDC and the key is to create such a striking design," said Shiro Nakamura.
His highly individual lines are reported Qazana almost intact. Courage design reflects the importance of the B-segment in the European market: Europe must take the lions share of the sales front the other major markets, including North America and Japan.
The design team took inspiration for the design of Nissans Juke an unusual number of sources. They look back to a number of identical vehicles with active lifestyles and sports - and the list that includes car and motorcycle rally. It is clear to see where these ideas have influenced the design.
The result combines a number of different themes, but with Nissan DNA threaded through. He has a strong body strong enough to reflect the elements of the SUV, but it is a very sensual car, too, with complex curves and cut profile is emphasized by a narrow side windows and hidden rear door handles which helps give the impression of two, not four doors.
But it is also clear Nissan family DNA in design - the boomerang rear lights, for example, the 370Z - but there is no element is so slavishly copied, while retaining Nissan DNA, Juke is a unique design itself as almost maverick,.
This is a key theme running through the design of Nissan. Albaisa Alfonso, vice president of Nissan Design Europe, said: "Nissan Juke has elements inspired by our range of cars like the 370Z and even Cube, but our intention is never to make a clear link between our cars, but they are. Cube is naturally cool car, for example, and freshness can be found in the Nissan Juke. "
With generous ground clearance, large wheels and tires, high waistline and broad shoulder line, "half" at the bottom of the SUV apparently pure. This impression is accentuated by typical SUV characteristics such as threshold contrast black wheels and finishing while the front and rear rocker panels emerge from under the car, such as a Skid.
In the future, "sump guard" is part of the air intake assembly, but instead of using a simple grid, mesh, printing of the design team developed a series of circular groove ... are suggestive of biotic elements.
Above the waist, however, Nissan Juke displays his sports references. A sharp glass claw, with the movie Crossover Nissan signature upswept rear side window - and the sloping roofline provides a profile warn aircraft canopies.
The rear roof spoiler that incorporates integrated to reduce aerodynamic lift to help high speed stability. The back of sharp-tailed ducks are enhanced with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel tests.
Lights also reflects the sporty agility of the car. In front of them is divided into two distinct elements. Supervision of the hood, thin bars contain lights and turn signals, while the main beam and dipped mounted lower on the cars nose was inspired by the extra lights fitted to rally cars in the sixties and seventy. At the rear, the rear lights, put their own spin on the boomerang-shaped lights found on this 370Z.
In total, the color palette of nine exterior colors are planned, including two white, solid and pearls, and three unique colors for Nissan Juke - Force Red, Blue and Brown machine haptic, although the total availability will depend on the region.
Seiji Watanabe, deputy chief designer of products:. "We want our cars, crossovers, in particular, has a spirit of flexibility, is considered a light, nimble Juke, displaying all the attributes Nissan responsive and gives a real sense of optimism."
The interior design
Nissan Juke active, sporty exterior matches the interior ... in which the dominant feature also displays a feeling of pleasure: the center console, finished in high gloss paint, looks like a motorcycle fuel tank.
"This was unexpected," said Alfonso Albaisa. "And that gives the interior a certain sex appeal."
Reflect a mixture of outside attributes SUVs and sports cars, the interior provides the driving position, but with all the attributes expected of a sports car. Shifter is above motorbiketank "to ensure smooth changes while the tank itself there is a simple style statement, but also provide a point of knee bracing for cornering the driver in the spirit.
Similarly, the central pier - which incorporates the new Nissan Dynamic Control - an ergonomically designed to ensure the driver has instant access to information and control in disk mode.
Attention to detail is evident everywhere. Chrome fittings and high quality materials are used throughout while the interior color - metallic red or gray gun in the center console are available, depending on the class, black, silver or red accent leather or fabric honeycomb sport - emphasizes the sports car attitude . Even the door armrests, shaped fins used by scuba divers, reflecting the active perspective.
Although all sizes of compact, spacious interior offers a competitive rate of interior space: the room and come back before the knee will be enough for most occupants. Unlike the Qazana show car, the Nissan Juke is a full five-seater.
Practical luggage area is large enough to take a golf bag or luggage maximum size of nine inches and also includes a storage area for the floor (except the 4WD version) that takes the potential capacity for 251 liters (VDA). In addition, the rear seats split 60/40 and fold as a single gesture to offer a load floor completely flat.
To hide luggage from prying eyes, the rods have full coverage different from the classical barrel attached to the tailgate and increased with the door when the trunk is open.
"The interior featured a number of attributes that truly encapsulates the entire car. There are a lot of emotion here, a real sense of fun and real quality," said Albaisa.
Stage
Juke Nissan B platform is based on the Renault-Nissan Alliance and has a wheelbase of 2530mm, 4135mm long, 1765mm wide and 1570mm high. To allow the top of the range to use 17-inch wheels and 215/55 R17 tires, front and rear track 1525mm, the largest yet seen on the B platform of the Alliance.
As new models are developed so that the platform will undergo some changes, and Nissan Juke foundation is no exception. For implementation in the Nissan Juke, it extended, expanded and strengthened significantly reduced and to improve safety, refinement and fuel efficiency.
Although the basic mirror suspension system found in other B-segment car, with MacPherson struts in front and torsion beam rear, new front cradle-type cradle has increased the lateral stiffness of the assembly. With a revised front suspension geometry, which helps promote better handling and greater driving comfort and finesse.
Four-wheel drive version of Nissans Juke still benefit from a new multilink rear suspension. When coupled with new guidelines developed torque Nissan four-wheel-drive technology to limit understeer, handling Nissan Juke is at the top of the class even though ground clearance while comfort has been preserved.
In urban environments, a combination of ground clearance and tire width means that the speed bumps and rough roads do not cause much discomfort - or damage - as in a traditional sport sedan.
Although that looks SUVs and high eye-point than before Nissan Juke and the rear roll center height is as low as possible - more like a conventional hatchback typical SUV - to reduce body roll in cornering.
Agility is also aided by the speed-sensitive steering to electric power, standard on all models, and increased upper body strength and rigidity. Nissan Juke incorporates a newly developed ring structure that connects the upper body to the rear suspension, improved torsional rigidity.
Engine and transmission
In Europe, there will be three choices of engine and manual transmission or a CVT to launch Juke Nissan sold in the second half of 2010. At the top of the range is the 1.6-liter gasoline turbo direct injection that develops new 140kW (190p) and 240Nm.
A low coefficient of friction and lightweight design, 16-valve engine uses direct injection to improve combustion to optimize power and torque, economy and emissions. The addition of a turbocharger and intercooler to help strengthen the power - this engine is one of the most powerful in its class - whereas in the control variable valve timing for two intake and exhaust cycles (double VTC) improve engine response at the low end. Degree of overlap allowing exhaust gas recirculation.
Techniques include the adoption of low friction diamond-like (DLC) layer of carbon for the tappets and camshaft mirror finish. The result is a machine provides a level of performance from the 2.5 liter normally aspirated engine, but with fuel economy of smaller machines.
The motor gasoline direct injection version of the two-wheel drive Nissan Juke will be coupled with a six-speed manual transmission. In the four-wheel drive version, it will be mated to Nissans Xtronic CVT transmission with a manual six-speed.
The second petrol engine, which replaces the 1.6 liter and also has four valves per cylinder, is a member of the extended family re-HR. Appointed HR16DE, has undergone some significant changes with a larger exhaust manifold, intake manifold back, twin VTC, improved feed consumption and towels with the formation of new catalysts hexagonal cells.
New pistons with revised crowns and integral oil cooling jet was adopted with a low friction techniques such as diamond-like carbon coating on the valve lifters.
However, the most significant change is the development of a dual injector system - the first in the world - which has two injectors for each cylinder, each with a small nozzle to deliver fuel more refined, more targeted spray into the cylinder to spray more effective and complete combustion.
Together, these changes have brought significant improvements in power, torque and fuel economy. Engine produces 86kW (117PS), increased six percent compared to previous versions of the machine. Torque increased three percent to 157Nm while the figures show the economic recovery of 5.6 percent. Power normally aspirated petrol engine versions of the two-wheel drive only, and will be available with either manual or optional five-speed Xtronic CVT transmission update, CVT transmission is different from that used with the DIG engine.
The final choice of engine is the familiar Alliance developed K9K DCI 1.5 turbo diesel common rail. The 1461 cc eight-valve engine gives good fuel economy, low emissions and operating costs with excellent driveability.
With a rated output 81kW (110P) at 4000 rpm and 240 Nm of torque at 1750 rpm with an impressive unit has a fuel return rail and control unit for better efficiency. Injection pressure is 1600 bar. Improve the performance of plug cold start performance speed of light. Emission control system including the diesel particulate filter (DPF), with a fifth injector regeneration and cooling of exhaust gas recirculation while the turbocharger amended provisions to make the distance between it and the DPF as short as possible.
Diesel models will be available on two-wheel drive with six-speed manual transmission. For Europe, all engines are fully compliant with Euro 5.
While the manual transmission is carried over largely unchanged from Qashqai, Xtronic CVT function of the two systems of a number of key technologies that promise significant improvements in weight, performance packaging, and fuel efficiency.
Day Xtronic CVT unit, used with a conventional 1.6-liter gasoline engine, is 10 percent shorter than before and 13 percent lighter, while the internal friction has been reduced by a remarkable 30 percent. This unit is the first CVT with a planetary gear, in enabling much higher transmission ratio - 7.3:1 - than previous Nissan CVT. Smaller, lighter pulley, a flexible lock up damper and more efficient oil pump all promote fuel efficiency.
The 6-speed Xtronic CVT with manual mode in turbocharged gasoline engines Nissan Juke settle for a more sporty performance with revised manual mode for sharper acceleration while the management system has been programmed to increase energy efficiency. Both adaptive CVT shift control system which can be selected via the Nissan Dynamic Control.
Exceptional in its class, Nissan Juke will be available with a choice of four-wheel drive and drive a more conventional front wheel. A new drive system was developed based on the all-wheel-tech Nissan ALL MODE 4x4-i electronics, but now add a lateral torque vectoring capacity arsenal.
As the front pair and split again - until 50:50, can now be divided on one side of the rear axle, too. By monitoring vehicle speed, wheel speed, gear position, steering angle, lateral G forces and yaw rate of the vehicle now, the distribution of torque can be increased beyond the rear wheel turns to cut understeer when cornering and enhance the capacity of the car. In total, 50% of the total available torque can be sent either to the rear wheels.
The new rear axle incorporates an electrical connection at each end, plus a new album late inclusion of this innovation is the first in the small car segment - a technology that has so far been found only on high-end, premium vehicles.
The new system is significantly lighter and more compact than similar systems used by other manufacturers.
Lines and models of equipment
Just about the only conventional aspect is the Juke Nissan model line-up, following Nissan established Visia, Acenta and Tekna lines. List of standard and optional equipment will be released closer to the date of sale, but the elements are expected as climate control, leather upholstery, rearview camera and Intelligent Key will all be available for clients Nissan Juke with some of the more unusual features.
That Nissan Dynamic Control, a central command and display module which allows the driver to change the drive parameters and dynamic changes to the most obvious such as climate control.
Cleverly, the module adopts different displays, colors and functions depending on how it is used. Climate mode, the display shows the room temperature settings while the "buttons" screen preference airflow.
But in D mode, change the drive mode button Normal, Sport and Eco, changed the map of accelerators, the availability of a partner, working hours CVT, effort steering and air conditioning performance, according to the same conditions. The screen, meanwhile, showed a fast engine and transmission and related information.
Because parameters such as sensitivity automatic headlamps, can also be customized through the system, while the display changes color to indicate the type of information displayed. Behavior includes information panels give the average speed, fuel economy, time travel and so on. Overall, the look is designed to add a cooling sensation, the technology involved in it.
Accessories
Although Nissan Juke has a long list of standard features, Nissan has developed a wide range of accessories that allow owners to personalize their cars further. Among the items offered various types of front and rear wheels and under body armor to emphasize SUV design elements.
Other features include an external exhaust finishers, roof spoiler and air deflector on the door, while inside the owner can add illuminated door sills and accent lighting inside. The main practices include advanced safety systems as well as opportunities for additional storage in the front armrest and the baggage area.
European customers
"The success of Qashqai compact crossover incredible - we recently spent half a million sales in Europe alone - have shown that customers are tired of conventional cars Nissan Juke even more daring, more courageous than Qashqai and is still to be confirmed. The position of Nissan as a pioneer of crossover in Europe and indeed globally, "said Simon Thomas.
Nissan Juke has been designed with special intent to meet customer expectations are met by adding a lot of dynamics and masculinity in the small car market safely drunk. Nissan Juke imagine who will buy in Europe?
Urban Clearly, customers are expected to be dominated by men, but a significant proportion of buyers are expected to be women - an estimated third of Nissan. Nissan Juke will attract a younger audience than the average Nissan customers (less than half will be less than 40), this estimate shows that the Nissan Juke has a broad appeal, arguing the search for Nissan that there is widespread disappointment with the lack of excitement in the car sector small in Europe.
Sales of Nissan Juke comes largely from the segment B is also wait-and C-segment to attract customers, with people trading down to enjoy something more radical and inspiring. As with the successful Nissan Qashqai, Nissan Juke most customers will be new to the Nissan brand.
Nissan Juke Review
Nissan Juke will change the urban landscape ... for the third time. After WheelTracker Murano crossover success of the Qashqai - a car three years ago introduced the concept of a crossover as an alternative to the traditional sedan segment C - derived from a younger brother, the Nissan Juke.

Stage
Juke Nissan B platform is based on the Renault-Nissan Alliance and has a wheelbase of 2530mm, 4135mm long, 1765mm wide and 1570mm high. To allow the top of the range to use 17-inch wheels and 215/55 R17 tires, front and rear track 1525mm, the largest yet seen on the B platform of the Alliance.
As new models are developed so that the platform will undergo some changes, and Nissan Juke foundation is no exception. For implementation in the Nissan Juke, it extended, expanded and strengthened significantly reduced and to improve safety, refinement and fuel efficiency.
Although the basic mirror suspension system found in other B-segment car, with MacPherson struts in front and torsion beam rear, new front cradle-type cradle has increased the lateral stiffness of the assembly. With a revised front suspension geometry, which helps promote better handling and greater driving comfort and finesse.
Four-wheel drive version of Nissans Juke still benefit from a new multilink rear suspension. When coupled with new guidelines developed torque Nissan four-wheel-drive technology to limit understeer, handling Nissan Juke is at the top of the class even though ground clearance while comfort has been preserved.

Although that looks SUVs and high eye-point than before Nissan Juke and the rear roll center height is as low as possible - more like a conventional hatchback typical SUV - to reduce body roll in cornering.
Agility is also aided by the speed-sensitive steering to electric power, standard on all models, and increased upper body strength and rigidity. Nissan Juke incorporates a newly developed ring structure that connects the upper body to the rear suspension, improved torsional rigidity.
Engine and transmission
In Europe, there will be three choices of engine and manual transmission or a CVT to launch Juke Nissan sold in the second half of 2010. At the top of the range is the 1.6-liter gasoline turbo direct injection that develops new 140kW (190p) and 240Nm.
A low coefficient of friction and lightweight design, 16-valve engine uses direct injection to improve combustion to optimize power and torque, economy and emissions. The addition of a turbocharger and intercooler to help strengthen the power - this engine is one of the most powerful in its class - whereas in the control variable valve timing for two intake and exhaust cycles (double VTC) improve engine response at the low end. Degree of overlap allowing exhaust gas recirculation.
Techniques include the adoption of low friction diamond-like (DLC) layer of carbon for the tappets and camshaft mirror finish. The result is a machine provides a level of performance from the 2.5 liter normally aspirated engine, but with fuel economy of smaller machines.
The motor gasoline direct injection version of the two-wheel drive Nissan Juke will be coupled with a six-speed manual transmission. In the four-wheel drive version, it will be mated to Nissans Xtronic CVT transmission with a manual six-speed.
The second petrol engine, which replaces the 1.6 liter and also has four valves per cylinder, is a member of the extended family re-HR. Appointed HR16DE, has undergone some significant changes with a larger exhaust manifold, intake manifold back, twin VTC, improved feed consumption and towels with the formation of new catalysts hexagonal cells.
New pistons with revised crowns and integral oil cooling jet was adopted with a low friction techniques such as diamond-like carbon coating on the valve lifters.
However, the most significant change is the development of a dual injector system - the first in the world - which has two injectors for each cylinder, each with a small nozzle to deliver fuel more refined, more targeted spray into the cylinder to spray more effective and complete combustion.
Together, these changes have brought significant improvements in power, torque and fuel economy. Engine produces 86kW (117PS), increased six percent compared to previous versions of the machine. Torque increased three percent to 157Nm while the figures show the economic recovery of 5.6 percent. Power normally aspirated petrol engine versions of the two-wheel drive only, and will be available with either manual or optional five-speed Xtronic CVT transmission update, CVT transmission is different from that used with the DIG engine.
The final choice of engine is the familiar Alliance developed K9K DCI 1.5 turbo diesel common rail. The 1461 cc eight-valve engine gives good fuel economy, low emissions and operating costs with excellent driveability.
With a rated output 81kW (110P) at 4000 rpm and 240 Nm of torque at 1750 rpm with an impressive unit has a fuel return rail and control unit for better efficiency. Injection pressure is 1600 bar. Improve the performance of plug cold start performance speed of light. Emission control system including the diesel particulate filter (DPF), with a fifth injector regeneration and cooling of exhaust gas recirculation while the turbocharger amended provisions to make the distance between it and the DPF as short as possible.
Diesel models will be available on two-wheel drive with six-speed manual transmission. For Europe, all engines are fully compliant with Euro 5.
While the manual transmission is carried over largely unchanged from Qashqai, Xtronic CVT function of the two systems of a number of key technologies that promise significant improvements in weight, performance packaging, and fuel efficiency.
Day Xtronic CVT unit, used with a conventional 1.6-liter gasoline engine, is 10 percent shorter than before and 13 percent lighter, while the internal friction has been reduced by a remarkable 30 percent. This unit is the first CVT with a planetary gear, in enabling much higher transmission ratio - 7.3:1 - than previous Nissan CVT. Smaller, lighter pulley, a flexible lock up damper and more efficient oil pump all promote fuel efficiency.
The 6-speed Xtronic CVT with manual mode in turbocharged gasoline engines Nissan Juke settle for a more sporty performance with revised manual mode for sharper acceleration while the management system has been programmed to increase energy efficiency. Both adaptive CVT shift control system which can be selected via the Nissan Dynamic Control.
Exceptional in its class, Nissan Juke will be available with a choice of four-wheel drive and drive a more conventional front wheel. A new drive system was developed based on the all-wheel-tech Nissan ALL MODE 4x4-i electronics, but now add a lateral torque vectoring capacity arsenal.
As the front pair and split again - until 50:50, can now be divided on one side of the rear axle, too. By monitoring vehicle speed, wheel speed, gear position, steering angle, lateral G forces and yaw rate of the vehicle now, the distribution of torque can be increased beyond the rear wheel turns to cut understeer when cornering and enhance the capacity of the car. In total, 50% of the total available torque can be sent either to the rear wheels.
The new rear axle incorporates an electrical connection at each end, plus a new album late inclusion of this innovation is the first in the small car segment - a technology that has so far been found only on high-end, premium vehicles.
The new system is significantly lighter and more compact than similar systems used by other manufacturers.
Lines and models of equipment
Just about the only conventional aspect is the Juke Nissan model line-up, following Nissan established Visia, Acenta and Tekna lines. List of standard and optional equipment will be released closer to the date of sale, but the elements are expected as climate control, leather upholstery, rearview camera and Intelligent Key will all be available for clients Nissan Juke with some of the more unusual features.
That Nissan Dynamic Control, a central command and display module which allows the driver to change the drive parameters and dynamic changes to the most obvious such as climate control.
Cleverly, the module adopts different displays, colors and functions depending on how it is used. Climate mode, the display shows the room temperature settings while the "buttons" screen preference airflow.
But in D mode, change the drive mode button Normal, Sport and Eco, changed the map of accelerators, the availability of a partner, working hours CVT, effort steering and air conditioning performance, according to the same conditions. The screen, meanwhile, showed a fast engine and transmission and related information.
Because parameters such as sensitivity automatic headlamps, can also be customized through the system, while the display changes color to indicate the type of information displayed. Behavior includes information panels give the average speed, fuel economy, time travel and so on. Overall, the look is designed to add a cooling sensation, the technology involved in it.
Accessories
Although Nissan Juke has a long list of standard features, Nissan has developed a wide range of accessories that allow owners to personalize their cars further. Among the items offered various types of front and rear wheels and under body armor to emphasize SUV design elements.
Other features include an external exhaust finishers, roof spoiler and air deflector on the door, while inside the owner can add illuminated door sills and accent lighting inside. The main practices include advanced safety systems as well as opportunities for additional storage in the front armrest and the baggage area.
European customers
"The success of Qashqai compact crossover incredible - we recently spent half a million sales in Europe alone - have shown that customers are tired of conventional cars Nissan Juke even more daring, more courageous than Qashqai and is still to be confirmed. The position of Nissan as a pioneer of crossover in Europe and indeed globally, "said Simon Thomas.
Nissan Juke has been designed with special intent to meet customer expectations are met by adding a lot of dynamics and masculinity in the small car market safely drunk. Nissan Juke imagine who will buy in Europe?
Urban Clearly, customers are expected to be dominated by men, but a significant proportion of buyers are expected to be women - an estimated third of Nissan. Nissan Juke will attract a younger audience than the average Nissan customers (less than half will be less than 40), this estimate shows that the Nissan Juke has a broad appeal, arguing the search for Nissan that there is widespread disappointment with the lack of excitement in the car sector small in Europe.
Sales of Nissan Juke comes largely from the segment B is also wait-and C-segment to attract customers, with people trading down to enjoy something more radical and inspiring. As with the successful Nissan Qashqai, Nissan Juke most customers will be new to the Nissan brand.
