Nissan Juke .... popular sub-compact crossover vehicle.
Nissan launches new 2015 Juke
DUBAI, February 16, 2015
Nissan, a leading automobile manufacturer, has launched the 2015 edition of its sub-compact SUV - Juke at a regional launch event in Dubai, UAE.
The event displayed the Juke’s three core areas of innovation – its design, performance and technology – through an on-ground interactive party experience with designated areas for each of the features.
Nissan has made a number of revisions to the popular sub-compact crossover to enable it to stay ahead of the pack in a booming segment. The Juke has been a major global success since being launched in 2010.
The Juke is powered by a choice of either a 1.6-litre naturally-aspirated engine or a 1.6-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, the latter being direct injection.
Three driving modes – normal, sport and eco – are available, along with a new audio system, the Japanese auto maker’s latest-generation NissanConnect connectivity technology.
Maximum engine power for S & SL Grade is 86(117) kW(ps) @ 6000rpm with 158Nm of torque.
The SL Turbo grade has maximum engine power of 140(190) kW(ps) @ 5600rpm with 240Nm of torque.
All three grades are available for the new Juke, S, SL and SL Turbo.
Samir Cherfan, managing director for Nissan Middle East, said: “Juke is a unique vehicle and has been a major success since its inception. The market in the Middle East will be thrilled with the new vehicle. The Juke delivers in every way – it’s an extremely comfortable high ride with fast, sporty response.”
Exterior revisions include alteration of the upper front lamps (now with LED daytime runners), updating the grille, toughening up the under-bumper trim, redesigning the door mirrors (adding LED repeaters and new rear view camera) and creating a more aggressive rear bumper to match the revised tail-lights which now have LED ‘light guide technology’.
Revisions in the cargo area have increased space while versatility is further enhanced with a flat-folding rear seat. Nissan has also built in a two-stage floor in the luggage compartment.
With the second-row seats up and cargo floor lowered, there is plenty of space in the back for large luggage.
Standard features include cloth upholstery, four-speaker CD/MP3 stereo with AUX port, power windows, electric mirrors, rear-view camera and the 60/40 folding rear seats.
Also available is leather upholstery, NissanConnect, sunroof, fog lamps, automatic a/c and intelligent keyless entry with starter button.
Safety features include front airbags, ABS disc brakes with EBD, and stability control and optional side-curtain airbags.
The latest Nissan Juke will be available from all Nissan dealerships across the region and will range from $17,970 to $23,140, it added. – TradeArabia News Service
