The Nissan Juke Crossover
By Zaheer on Jun 13, 2011 with Comments 0
Today the Nissan Juke crossover has become quite popular for many reasons, one being the 1.6 litre petrol engine that can reach a massive 115bhp. The only drawback to having the short gearing will be that you are going to have to keep on switching gears every few minutes which is not always going to be welcome of course but still the car is impressive in many areas.
You don’t just have the petrol engine to work with however; you have the option of a 1.5 litre diesel engine that is going to reach around 109bhp which is very powerful though not quite as powerful as the petrol 1.6 litre engine. However the 1.6 litre petrol engine is going to have new and massive direct injection turbo petrol which is going to reach an amazing 188bhp; this is going to manage to get to 62mph less than ten seconds which by any standards is great.
Many say that this is going to have a go kart presence on the Juke but still it is perfect for those that fancy a newer design of car. You will have a stiff suspension but that works in the cars favour however because it will help to get the steering on the car perfect.
It is not the most comfortable car to ride in but it is still good enough to take the family out on a long drive; the only drawback is going to be the corner turns that can slide a little quicker than usual which is not so good.
The engines are going to vary of course but the noise level for each are going to be a little bit different from engine to engine. The 1.6 litre engine will be a lot nosier especially when the car is tearing up the highways no matter if this is diesel or not but when it comes to the 1.6 litre turbo petrol engine, this is so much better. There is an added smoothness and quality with this engine; the only drawback to this is a small and very tiny turbo noise but it dies away soon enough.
The Juke crossover is really reasonably priced however and worth its weight in gold, there is still one or two of these models which really cost a little more but most are reasonably priced still. The car is still a good and very reliable car even with a cheap plastic on the cabin however with an anti hijacking feature and central and remote locking can make up for the plastic on the cabin. The car does come with six airbags with anti locking brakes and a good brake assist so this is one to be enjoyed.
There is a motorbike feeling to the interior designs but the centre console looks great and the controls are quite simple to work with. There is not a great visibility however from the back and the steering wheel is not going to be able to be adjusted which is not as great as you might think.
If you are worried about space then there is no need whatsoever, the trunk hasn’t got barrels of room left to put anything and everything into it on those holidays across country or those endless shopping trips. However the floor has a storage space and the back seats are going to be able to be folded down to add a lot more room.
There is plenty of room upfront and in the back seats so adults can stretch out if they need to. There are quite a few areas in which you could make some space but the driver and passengers won’t find they are cramped too much either.
The Nissan Juke Crossover will have a fantastic set of alloy wheels with electric windows. The car will also come with a good air conditioning system and if that was not enough then it is the driver – you – that can actually customize your own car, you can make it how you wish it to look like.
You can have your iPod playing and get the Acenta started up meaning you have climate control along with Bluetooth. You have got the Nissans Nissan’s Dynamic Control System along with the Juke crossover which means that you can have an eco friendly car or have it to be just a sporty one. You are also going to be having sat navigation built into the car.
