About the 2016 Nissan JUKE
Since its launch for the 2011 model year, the Nissan JUKE has stood out from the crowd with its fiercely sculpted headlights and hood, muscular lines, hidden rear door handles and fluid rear hatchback design. Just last year, JUKE’s bold style was enhanced with new front and rear fascias that further push the boundaries of its signature premium and sporty performance cues.

Inside, the distinctive JUKE interior continues to combine bold design with traditional hatchback functionality. The sporty front bucket seats – available in a choice of fabric or leather appointments – frame the unique motorcycle tank-inspired center console. In the rear is a 60/40-split fold-down bench seat.

All 2016 JUKE S, SV and SL models come equipped with a standard 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIGÔ) Turbo, 16-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy inline 4-cylinder engine rated at 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. One transmission is offered – Nissan’s advanced Xtronic transmission with Sport Mode and D-step Logic Control, which simulates shifts, giving a more natural acceleration feeling without holding a high rpm constant.

An available innovative Integrated Control (I-CON) system combines control of the automatic A/C and the three-mode drive selector – Normal for everyday driving; Sport for a more intense performance feel; and Eco for maximum efficiency – adjusting throttle, transmission (CVT) and steering feel.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the JUKE, introduced last model year, is the ability to personalize both the exterior and interior with a range of “color packs” to change the look and feel of the vehicle through the JUKE Color Studio. For example, accessory 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are available with color inserts to match or contrast the body color. Special color accents can also be applied to the outside rearview mirror caps, side sills, rear roof spoiler and door handles. Interior color packs will be offered for the door trim and other elements. Eight colors are available – including red, white, black, yellow, electric blue and purple – and a total of 12 accessories.

The “affordable personalization” Color Studio offers easy online configuration and the ability to install the custom color parts and accessories at home or through individual dealers’ parts and service facilities.

All grade levels include standard Nissan Intelligent Key® with Push Button Start, RearView Monitor and NissanConnectSM with Mobile Apps – including a 5.0-inch color display, USB connection port for iPod® interface and other compatible devices, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, Streaming audio via Bluetooth® and Hands-free Text Messaging Assistant.

Also new for 2016 is standard Siri™ Eyes Free, which makes it easy to make and receive calls, read and send text messages and emails, select and play music from a compatible device, read notifications, request directions and more.

Other available features include Automatic Climate Control, premium cloth seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power moonroof, privacy glass, and SiriusXM® Satellite Radio (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately), Around View® Monitor and NissanConnect with Navigation and Mobile Apps, with 5.8-inch color touch-screen display, enhanced Voice Recognition for navigation and audio, SiriusXM® Traffic and SiriusXM® Travel Link™ (SiriusXM® subscription required, sold separately).

About the JUKE NISMO and JUKE NISMO RS
The 2016 JUKE NISMO and JUKE NISMO RS are part of a growing lineup of NISMO-branded factory performance machines in Nissan showrooms, which also includes the popular Nissan 370Z NISMO and the ultimate NISMO, the GT-R NISMO. Both the JUKE NISMO and NISMO RS include special exterior modifications designed to enhance aerodynamics, resulting in a 37-percent improvement in downforce (versus non-NISMO models). Exterior features include NISMO front and rear fascias and side sills with a distinctive red stripe, special grille and light treatments, extended body-colored wheel flares, red outside mirror covers and unique rear spoiler and NISMO or NISMO RS badging.

Inside, the NISMO-style interiors combine dark finishes and red accents. The leather and Alcantara®-wrapped steering wheel designs include a racing-inspired red top-center marking, while the special sport front seats offer added support and comfort while cornering, along with embossed NISMO logos and red stitching. NISMO RS adds unique Recaro® front seats with embossed logos.

The JUKE NISMO RS increases the engine’s performance to 215 horsepower (at 6,000 rpm) and 210 lb-ft of torque (from 3,600 to 4,800 rpm) for the 6-speed manual transmission-equipped front-wheel drive model. The JUKE NISMO RS AWD with Xtronic transmission is rated at 211 horsepower (at 6,000 rpm) and 184 lb-ft of torque (from 2,400 to 6,000 rpm). Manual transmission-equipped NISMO RS models also offer a standard helical-geared Limited-Slip Differential (LSD) to direct more power to the front wheel with the most traction, helping maintain acceleration during cornering. It also helps reduce torque steer, adding to the sense of driving excitement.
