Sneak Peek of the New Nissan Juke
15Feb
Here it is!! Nissan provides a sneak peek of the new Nissan Juke. Nissan North America Inc. released photos of the new crossover, due to no real-life Nissan Juke’s to display. The Juke will reach U.S. retailers in the fourth quarter.
The front-wheel-drive Juke, built off the Versa’s small-car platform, will give Nissan dealers a crossover smaller than the Rogue. The Juke will become the brand’s third crossover, following the Rogue and the larger Murano.
The vehicle was unveiled in Paris and it will be displayed next month at the Geneva show. The North American version will be displayed at the New York auto show in March at which time vehicle specifications and possibly the sticker price will be announced.
“The Juke will provide our customers with a sporty alternative to hatchback that are on the road today,” said Rich Latek, director, chief marketing manager at Nissan North America. Latek was interviewed at a Nissan event in Chicago.
The Juke was developed on Nissan’s global B platform, which is shared by the Versa, and other Nissan and Renault vehicles, such as the Nissan Micra. The Juke will be assembled in Japan for the U.S. market.
Latek said the Juke will be positioned below the Rogue crossover. Because of the vehicle’s size, subcompact, it will be targeted at buyers in their 20s and early 30s who live in urban areas.
The Juke’s exterior styling has a high waistline and what Nissan calls “complex curves.” The interior has a wide center console that draws inspiration from a motorcycle fuel tank.
What’s not to love about the new Nissan Juke?!
Some are calling the Juke the marmite car but I think more people will love it. It is unconventional but you are getting a lot of car for your money and one thing is for certain, it will definitely turn heads……
