Nissan North America Inc. has just revealed its new Juke sports crossover and will be also shown during New York International Auto Show, starting with Friday, 2nd of April.
The new Juke comes with new performance features being powered by a 1.6 L Direct Injection Gasoline turbo engine, featuring an advanced torque vectoring AWD system. At the interior, the JUKE is fitted with bolstered front seats, a center console based on the design of a motorcycle fuel tank painted in a two-coat high-gloss colour. At the rear, it futures a bench seat for more flexibility of the space, when fold-down it can really carry out a lot of cargo.
For those interested in more options you can also choose for leather-appointed seats, 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).
One of the most innovative technologies presented by the new JUKE is the I-CON system (Integrated Control System), a tech works as a controller for the automatic climate control system and 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.
“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,” said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, NNA.
