2014 Nissan JUKE

Nissan's popular Juke sports crossover adds two new exterior colors -- Red Alert and Bordeaux Black -- for 2014, along with the continuation of the special Midnight Edition and Sport Package.

The Midnight Edition features unique 17-inch Black Wheels, a Sapphire Black rear roof spoiler, Sapphire Black mirror caps and privacy glass. The Sport Package includes a body-color rear spoiler, 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and stainless steel exhaust finisher. A Navigation Package is also available.

The Juke NISMO features nearly 100 individual revised components, including a NISMO-tuned 197-horsepower 1.6-liter DIG turbo engine, NISMO-tuned suspension, bold aerodynamic styling, deeply bolstered front seats and red accents and lightweight 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.

In addition to the Juke NISMO, three other Juke models are offered: S, SV and SL, each available in All-Wheel Drive and Front-Wheel Drive. Every Juke features bold styling, acclaimed levels of performance and an available advanced torque vectoring AWD system with performance technology often reserved for premium vehicles.

Juke looks exactly like it drives -- fun, bold and exciting. It features a standard 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline Turbo, 16-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy inline 4-cylinder engine rated at 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. Two transmissions are offered - Nissan's advanced Xtronic CVT with S-Mode and a 6-speed manual transmission (SV FWD model only).

The Juke interior design is equally aggressive, offering bolstered front seats, a wide instrument panel and a unique center console inspired by a motorcycle fuel tank and finished in high-gloss paint. The gear shift is located on top of the console, with a high-mounted shift 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.
