The 2011 Nissan Juke is a subcompact four-door hatchback that is a new model for 2011. It has been described as a bionic frog yet with a powerful four cylinder engine, it is quick on the road with entertaining handling combined with excellent gas mileage. It comes equipped with many high end standard features that are packed into this small vehicle.
The Nissan Juke is available in three trim levels: the base S, the SV and the SL. Standard features on the S include full power accessories, 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, power windows and door locks, keyless remote entry, air conditioning, cruise control, interface for the iPod, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, tilt steering wheel, an audio system with six speakers and CD player, controls mounted on the steering wheel and six standard air bags. The SV model adds satellite radio, upgraded upholstery with premium suede cloth seat trim, sunroof, keyless entry and ignition, automatic climate control, and three control settings of normal, sport and economy for steering, throttle and transmission response. The SL model of the Nissan Juke adds fog lamps, a navigation system with real-time traffic and a rearview monitor, leather upholstery, front seats that are heated, an audio system with six upgraded speakers with subwoofer and USB port, and automatic on/off head lights and fog lamps. Optional packages include a Sports package with unique wheels and a rear spoiler, a package with chrome door handles, mirrors and side molding and an Interior Illumination package with accent lighting.
The engine in the Nissan Juke is a turbocharged 1.6 liter inline four cylinder engine that produces 188 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. The standard transmission on the S trim is a continuously variable transmission while the SV and SL models have the option of either a six-speed manual transmission or the continuously variable transmission. There is a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive for all trim levels, although all-wheel drive requires the continuously variable transmission.
Fuel economy for the Nissan Juke is dependent on drive and transmission. Front wheel drive with a manual transmission is rated at 24 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway while front wheel drive with the continuously variable transmission is rated at 27 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. An all-wheel drive Nissan Juke with a continuously variable transmission is rated at 25 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.
The interior of the Nissan Juke is not as flashy as the exterior and simply designed. The use of hard plastic is abundant but silver accents serve to soften and brighten the rough finish. Both the front and rear seats have ample head and legroom but passengers in the back seat may feel somewhat cramped due to the sloping roof. There is 10 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are up and this expands to 36 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down.
The drive of the Nissan Juke is quick and peppy, providing crisp response and sure tracking through the corners. If you are in the market for a smaller vehicle with a comfortable ride that handles the road well, then the Nissan Juke is worth investigating.
