2016 Nissan Juke: Crossover into Practical Performance
The Juke is no Joke, not if you’re in search of a vehicle that doesn’t blend in and isn’t a bore. Four of the five trim levels are equipped with a 1.6L inline 4-cylinder that is capable of 188-horsepower, while the high performance, top-of-the-line Nismo RS fires up 215 horses. With all this turbocharged power, efficiency isn’t sacrificed; in fact, it still maintains a respectable fuel economy rating of 25 city/ 31 hwy mpg.
And while the 2016 HR-V fits nicely within the Honda family, falling in line behind the medium sized CR-V and the larger Pilot. The Nissan Juke likewise fits within the well-versed crossover family the automaker has created as the most compact crossover option. An agile and well-equipped performance devil, the Juke is able to seat five passengers and do a little additional hauling when need be. It’s the vehicle that families and performance enthusiasts can agree upon yet still argue about who gets the keys. Excuse us--not keys, because the Nissan Juke, like many of its family members, features keyless ignition and entry as well as full power accessories, Bluetooth phone connectivity, a six-speaker sound system with a 5-inch color interface and more even in its most standard form.
Stop by Glendale Nissan to see the Juke in person and take it for a spin. It truly is a compact crossover bred to thrill but not forget its purpose to deliver a smooth, comfortable, and practical ride.
