Review: Nissan Juke

Nissan Juke 2012

The small SUV from Nissan

Here we talk about the Nissan Juke; this is a beautiful small SUV, also called crossover. It means that is built like a SUV but with a more passenger-wise features, like a station wagon.

Luckly they built this one a lot more gorgeous of a station wagon.

It's a five doors car for five passengers. The front seats are large and comfortable enough for a big person (I'm almost 100 kg or 220 lbs) and you can have a car armrest as accessory (and I really suggest to get that, as it's better for long trip) that can be shared with the other front passenger.

The back passengers could be a little too close; two back passengers have lot of room, even with a big person in the front. The fifth doesn't have enough space to limit the other two movement.

The back is big enough for a large shopping at the grocery; it have a parcel shelf that divide the trunk and that is moved while you open it. The clips that hold the parcel shelf are not really solid and from time to time they can get loose. They can be replaced easily anyway.

The back seats can be lowered to increase the volume of the trunk or to fit long and cumbersome luggage. 

These cars come with two different set of trunk; both of them are under the main trunk as the shelf can be remove. One of them can hold a lot more space giving you a lot of volume; the other one give place to hold tools, like the jack to change the wheel.

The Nissan Juke come with two different engines, petrol or diesel, both of them with a good sprint, as the car is not so heavy. I have drove it in a medium traffic area and this car is really swift and nibble even if is not so small. 

The onboard computer give some information about the fuel consumption but I have drove it for just some minutes, so I'm not sure how much precision it have, but it seems the usage was something like six litre every one hundreds kilometres. 

In the end I think this is a very pretty car with a beautiful line (the frontal lights recall maybe a manga cartoon), with a good load capacity and it's very fun to steer this little SUV.
