Nissan
Juke
Strange. Offbeat. Funky. It seems
wherever Nissan Juke go, they are three adjectives seem to follow. And we get
it: crossover subcompact, Juke wear gates wheels and higher beltline badges
generally respected, the effect is only amplified by the wedge side of the
glass door behind ambiguous, tailgate round, and rotate the front and rear
light lenses that rise, blisterlike, from the body surface. But to write off
the Juke as a cheap carnival trick at the wheel would be detrimental.
engine
performance
If you're looking for an indication
of how serious need of Nissan Juke, you will find in the round of comprehensive
revision of the engineers made to the 1.6-liter inline 4-cylinder 2015: piston
reconstituted, the compression ratio is increased (now 10.5: 1, up from 9.5: 1
), internal friction and engine weight has been reduced by switching from iron
liners "and spray-coated mirror-finished cylinder boring" and inertia
turbocharger lower. There are many more. Nissan also added a new function key
intermediate in the intake continued Variable Valve Timing Control System,
equipped with low-pressure EGR system to lower the temperature of the exhaust
gas, switch to a variable-pressure oil pump and injector performance is
optimized. This is clearly more than just tweak tuning.
Although significant hardware
updates, the second-gen 1.6-liter turbo four produces exactly the same 188
horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque as the previous version. The good news is
that peak torque is now available at 1600 rpm, while the previous setup did not
get the full rough to 2000 rpm. It is still a bit buzzy but noticeably less so
than before. Nissan maintains that the added benefit of lower emissions and
fuel efficiency that is better, the latter evidenced by an increase in 1-mpg
city and highway mileage rating, which now stands at 26 and 31 mpg. We recorded
26 mpg combined driving.
Paired with the CVT as a single
partner dance (two-wheel-drive Juke can be had with a six-speed manual through
the 2014 model year), our all-wheel-drive Juke SL powertrain is fit to drive
3205-pound hatchback. With a zero-to-60 and quarter mile times 6.9 and 15.4
seconds, it's easy to get out accelerate competitors like 2015 Jeep Renegade 4
x 4 with a 180-hp 2.4-liter four and nine-speed automatic (8.8 and 16.8), and
AWD Honda HR-V in 2016 with a 1.8-liter four and CVT (9.5 and 17.4). Nissan
integrated control (I-CON) system provides normal, sport, and Eco drive mode,
which adjusts throttle, steering and transmission response. It goes without
saying that we preferred settings.
Leading acceleration aside, this is
not the type of powertrain that inspire deep analysis or criticism; While the
entry of Nissan gearlike "step" in the CVT, we find the easiest way
to get the most smiles per mile is just to place the transmission in drive,
select the sport mode, and mash the gas pedal. (Not to mention the fact that we
recorded a feeling of "sneak" in CVT when manually shifting at 6250
rpm.) All 177 lb-ft of torque available from 1600 to 5200 rpm, which helps to
take the drama out of merging maneuvers. Instead, the CVT is not shy about
letting the wind machine and mingle with the 6400-rpm redline. AWD system and
various amount of torque sent to the rear 50/50 split, traction plentiful.
Equipped with 17-inch tires Goodyear
Eagle RS-A 215/55, we managed to figure Juke lateral acceleration of 0.84 g on
a 300-foot skidpad us, handily defeated the Renegade 0.78 g and 0.80 g numbers
recorded by the all-wheel-drive Honda HR-V. Speed-sensitive electric power
steering to get the job done with accuracy good direction, but with shades of
synthetic boring. However, smallish 99.6-inch wheelbase and rear wheel torque
vector AS-which increases the amount of torque sent to the rear wheels outside
in hard cornering - add Juke's already nimble behavior. Tromping on the brake
pedal disclose decisive action and easily modulated braking. Transportation
Juke to stop from 70 mph required 177 feet of asphalt.
Tight
spots
Although Nisan temples are five
passenger vehicle, we found it difficult in most circumstances to suppress even
two people to the backseat. While it is possible for a pair knaggy individual
lengths to get conveniently located in front, behind the front seats slide
write rear seat essentially unusable. We found it much better to fold the rear
seatbacks forward, a small increase, 10.5 cubic feet of cargo space for a
little less than 35.9 cubic-small, creating a kind of quasi-shooting brake. In
this configuration, the original Juke displays little utility.
Still they were not sure that the
Juke has the conscious side need only consider that the base MSRP of $ 27.765.
After tacking on mats and cargo mats ($ 210), plus a central armrest ($ 250),
we Juke SL AWD rang in at a cool $ 28.225. The number was rubbing shoulders
with vehicles such as the Honda CR-V EX AWD (base price $ 27.675) and Mazda
CX-5 Touring AWD ($ 27.345), two vehicles with a tad less but the attitude of a
lot more interior space. But for introverts who want a turbo engine tenacious
in small AWD crossover, Juke is a serious business.
Interior, design and technology
The major drawback of
compensation for the design space is very striking and some technology is
really useful, especially in terms of safety.
When launched in 2010,
Juke is a breath of fresh air in the car market contractors are bored with
conventional superminis. The design divisive means you're either a fan of the
five-door crossover unique or you don't- but over the years, cars have become
more familiar appearance. Now, after a soft spot cosmetic surgery in the middle
of 2014, the Juke looks sharper than ever before.
It is truly the best-selling
car 10 in the UK in 2014, so Nissan styling still proving popular. Mobil
trademark wide grille, large and angle floodlight higher light clusters on the
front wing mean it rivals Mazda CX-3 for visual appeal and more interesting
than the Renault Captur - Europe's most popular compact crossover.
