New York - March 31
Along with its bold design inside and out, which draws on a number of active
lifestyle influences including motorcycles and rally cars, JUKE brings
unexpected levels of performance from a 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline
(DIG™) turbo engine and an advanced torque vectoring all-wheel drive (AWD)
system with performance technology usually reserved for premium vehicles.
“JUKE is about to carve out a unique space in the rapidly growing compact
crossover/hatchback segment with its combination of striking design, agile
handling and driving pleasure and user friendly technology,” said Brian
Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, NNA. “Add in the
convenience, versatility and high seating positioning of a traditional compact
SUV – and pricing that is expected to start at just under $20,000 – and you’ve
got a vehicle unlike any other in its class.”
The JUKE interior offers bolstered front seats and a center console inspired by
a motorcycle fuel tank and finished in a two-coat high-gloss paint. The
gearshift sits on top of the console, with a short shifter lever for sporty driving.
In the rear, a fold-down 60/40-split bench seat and flat load floor provide
passenger and cargo hauling flexibility.
Available features range from leather-appointed seats and RearView Monitor
to Nissan Intelligent Key™ with Push Button Ignition, navigation system with
real-time traffic information and power sliding moonroof. A long list of standard
safety features is also available, including six air bags, Anti-Lock Braking
System (ABS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC).
Powering JUKE is a standard 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG™) Turbo,
16-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy inline 4-cylinder engine rated at 180+
horsepower and 170+ lb-ft of torque. The engine, the first application in North
America, combines energetic performance and good fuel economy. Two
transmissions are offered – Nissan’s advanced Xtronic CVT™ (Continuously
Variable Transmission) with S-Mode and a 6-speed manual transmission (SV
FWD and SL FWD models only).
JUKE’s torque vectoring AWD system 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.
Another new-to-Nissan technology debuting on JUKE is the innovative
Integrated Control (I-CON) system. The I-CON system functions in one setting
as a controller for the automatic climate control system, and in the other offers
a drive mode selector with three different throttle/transmission (CVT)/steering
response settings – Normal for everyday driving, Sport for a more intense
performance feel and Eco for maximum efficiency.
I-CON also serves as a central command center and display module, adopting
different display colors and functions depending on how it is being used. In
Climate mode, the display shows the interior temperature settings while the
“buttons” display air flow preferences. In the “D-Mode,” the buttons change
to the three driving modes and the display shows engine and drive related
dials and information.
“JUKE provides an exceptional level of available technology for its segment
and a special character all its own,” said Carolin. “We’re expecting an
enthusiastic response from people attending the New York Auto Show and
look forward to JUKE going on sale this fall.”
Along with the Web cast video, JUKE images, video downloads and additional
information will be available beginning March 31 at nissanjukenyc.com.
