Arousing or polarizing; duke or puke (sorry, we just had to play with the name); refreshing or controversial; whatever the case, one thing is for sure: there’s no way the all-new Nissan Juke will go by unnoticed when it hits the road in Europe and North America this fall.
\nRoughly sized between a Fiesta and a Focus, the production version of the Qazana concept blends design elements from numerous cars including the Murano and Qashqai as well as from the 370Z and even the Cube with a busy face that looks like it evolved from the unforgettable Pontiac Aztec.<\/p>\n

Despite the playful color options inside, the Juke’s interior is far less provocative from a design standpoint. The dashboard is dominated by a centre console design that is said to have been inspired by a motorcycle fuel tank, while several parts are finished in high gloss colors.<\/p>\n

Beneath the modernized sheetmetal lies an evolution of the Renault Nissan Alliance ‘B-Platform’ that’s used on the Clio and Micra superminis.<\/p>\n

The Juke measures 4,135mm in length, 1,765mm in width, 1,570mm in height and has a wheelbase length of 2,530mm.<\/p>\n

In European guise, the Juke will be available with three different engines, one diesel and two petrol units.<\/p>\n

Sitting at the top of the range is a new 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with direct injection generating 190PS and 240 Nm or 177 lb-ft of peak torque.<\/p>\n

The second petrol engine is a newly developed version of Nissan’s naturally aspirated 1.6-liter gasoline unit that develops 117 horsepower, while the diesel range is limited to Renault’s 1.5-liter dCi with 110HP and 240Nm of torque.<\/p>\n

In terms of transmissions, the two-wheel drive turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine is available with a six speed manual, while a CVT transmission with a six-speed manual mode will be available on the range-topping all-wheel drive version.<\/p>\n

The naturally aspirated 1.6-litre petrol is available either with a 5-speed manual or the updated XTRONIC CVT and the 1.5-litre diesel engine is available with a 6-speed manual.<\/p>\n

For the time being, only the 1.6-liter Turbo with the CVT is offered with all-wheel drive, with the rest of the range keeping the basic front-wheel drive layout.<\/p>\n

Nissan claims that the ALL-Mode 4×4-i electronic all-wheel drive system has been enhanced with torque vectoring technology to further enhance agility and reduce understeer when cornering.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, on front-wheel drive versions, the Juke gets MacPherson struts at the front with a torsion beam at the back, while four-wheel drive models are equipped with a multi-link rear suspension modelled on the system found on Qashqai.<\/p>\n

The Juke will have its world premiere at next month’s Geneva Motor Show. The European market models will be manufactured at Nissan’s UK plant in Sunderland.<\/p><\/div>\n
