Introduced just last year, the Nissan JUKE offers bold styling, unexpected levels of performance and an available advanced torque vectoring AWD system with performance technology usually reserved for premium vehicles. Built on Nissan’s proven global B-platform, looks exactly like it drives – fun, bold and exciting. The JUKE interior is equally aggressive with bolstered front seats, a wide instrument panel and a unique center console inspired by a motorcycle fuel tank and finished in a high-gloss paint. There are no significant changes for the 2012 model year.
Key highlights of the 2012 Nissan JUKE include:
• A standard 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG™) Turbo, 16-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy inline 4-cylinder engine rated at 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque
• Available torque vectoring AWD system that splits torque up to 50:50 between the front and rear wheels and can also can split torque from side-to-side across the rear axle – when cornering, the system helps reduce understeer and enhance the vehicle’s cornering feel
• An innovative Integrated Control (I-CON) system that combines control of the automatic A/C and the three-mode drive selector – Normal for everyday driving, Sport for a more intense performance feel and Eco for maximum efficiency, adjusting throttle, transmission (CVT) and steering feel
• Body-colored outside mirrors and front door handles, “hidden” rear door handles and standard 17-inch wheels and tires
• Fold-down 60/40-split bench seat and flat load floor provide passenger and cargo hauling flexibility
• Available interior features range from leather-appointed seats and RearView Monitor to Nissan Intelligent Key® with Push Button Ignition and Nissan Navigation System with XM NavTraffic® Real-Time Traffic Information (XM® subscription required, sold separately)
• Safety features include six air bags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
