Geneva 2014: Nissan Juke

by Derek Kreindler

Published: March 5th, 2014

The big news for the Nissan Juke is what you can’t see: according to them, Nissan claims that the cargo area is 40 percent larger on front-wheel drive models, now up to 12.5 feet. World markets also get a new 1.2L turbo 4-cylinder engine. I’m just hoping they’ll finally give us an all-wheel drive 6MT version. I’m glad it’s still weird.

I honestly think this is just one of those vehicles that can, at times, look really good or really bad. I used to work with a guy that had one of these in black and it had black wheels...looked pretty good when it was cleaned up. It's like the new Jeep Cherokee, in most colors and in the Trailhawk trim, it looks pretty decent, but make it a cashmere or silver sport without roof rails and terrible wheels and I don't think it could look worse!

6MT is a torque vectoring awd no go with the Juke. The fwd larger boot is just a lower drawer thanks to the lack of awd mechanism. Controversial, cramped, winter weather beater with the all and seasonal tire switch.

Ravenuer I see lots of Nissans where I live, Long Island, NY. Mostly suvs.
ClipTheApex The latest iteration of the CRV is very handsome. Both CUVs have their mechanical and suspension challenges but in looking at interior & exterior design, I believe the CRV is much more tasteful. RAV4 seems a bit overwrought with way too many creases and bulges-- delivering a cohesive look. Just my opinion.
Jbltg The more time passes, the more BMW's resemble Honda. zzzz
VoGhost Doubling down on the sector that is shrinking (ICE). Typical Nissan.
Dwford I don't think price is the real issue. Plenty of people buy $40-50k gas vehicles every year. It's the functionality. People are worried about range and the ability to easily and quickly recharge. Also, if you want to buy an EV these days, you are mostly limited to midsize 5 passenger crossovers. How about some body style variety??
