Perhaps, if more cars looking like this mood we will be more cheerful in the face of traffic hell. How not, because the Juke has an unusual physique than their counterparts . In fact he has the potential to make a popular vehicle here seem bland. Mainly thanks to the artistic lamps, grille and bumper which implies a smile. This is even more fitting especially if linked with the fact that the majority of road traffic congestion in large cities that the road was already no longer human. So the form of unique or unusual for that do not like it, become their own entertainment in the middle of the road bondage full queue.
Although Nissan Motor said that this one new crossover will be produced in 2011, but the existence of the Juke has been endemic in several European countries and Japan. The car is classified as a crossover smile. In the case of Juke, mixes it with a mix Nissan SUV toughness. Mainly thanks to the shoulders and comparatively high ground clearance. While, the roof sloping from front to stern, like a sports car Nissan 370Z. Watch her face, which lights perched on top like a bonnet in such sharp eyes that were narrowed opponent. Headlamp?. No, it’s just a pair of fashionable evening light that can be seen from the driver’s seat.
Xenon headlights that use precisely located under the side that intersect with the grille. Juke grille line curved downward and form cohesive additive headlamp lamp produces twilight that always smiling face. In the buttocks area, it’s easy for car lovers to realize that this is a Nissan. Especially if it were not for the rear lights boomerang model is inspired from one of the celebrity athletes Nissan 370Z. We tried this unit is the RX-engined version of the 1.5 liter normally aspirated gasoline. Power is available “only” 114 hp at 6,000 rpm rotation. Distinct contrast to the flagship that circulated in Europe that energy reach 190 hp AWD. Of course because the European version uses 1.6 liters with a turbo engine.
Power who belong to Juke still bigger than most cars that have been circulating a 1.5 liter. Especially with compact posture that is no larger than the Toyota Rush or Daihatsu Terios which use the same 1.5 liter engine, then you can be assured aspect of fun to drive also became Juke expertise. Time to enter the cabin. The atmosphere in the cabin is not much different from other Nissan cars, seats good at supporting the body with a nice atmosphere. Visibility was qualified, twilight lights sticking out above the driver’s hood helped signify the forefront of the car.
But there are things that potentially disturb him. For us it is a vehicle that is very Asian. That is, those above 175 cm stature will reap the narrow sense it when visiting. Red color in some interior panels to bring a refreshing impression. Juke Although we test is indeed red, but not red-colored juke will get the red color combination diinteriornya long as he bears the RX version. Amid his dashboard there is an LCD multi-talented. Not only served as a TV, but also capable of playing DVDs and pieces into the camera when the gear lever back in position to mode R.
Not far from there, there is a button labeled start-stop engine. Yes once, this is when the button is pressed and wake it from sleep. For a moment the engine vibrates. And just as make preparations for self Juke to drive. At this point we also tested the performance of all modes of transmission CVT with 6 levels of acceleration. CVT for its ability to deliver reliable power with a very subtle and minimal pounding. When we greet a loaded jam would stop n go condition, he still moves gracefully and walked with certainty. But several occasions appeared in the middle of narrowness. Instantly queue loose and open opportunity to flatten the bottom floor the gas pedal. The engine is muttering loudly, but not to interfere. A moment later he was running hard and leave a satisfied smile on our faces. This is what we mean how Nissan are knowledgeable about what is fun to drive.
Ride and also special. Blends suspense makes it lively shimmy between the density of the city. Combined high ground clearance, he managed to make us feel proud when facing hole trap that often adorn the streets of the capital. But still, we do not take advantage of the busway separator Juke to crush despite impatience quite often tempt us. Nissan claims the engine and transmission combination is capable of producing dynamic driving but still fuel efficient. In route combinations he listed only 19 kilometers in one liter of gasoline. Means, with tank capacity 52 liters, then once full content he can wander as far as 988 km. Impressive!
But the features that should be highlighted is the existence of NDCS (Nissan Dynamic Control System), which is displayed through a small screen located just below the TV screen. NDCS is to allow the driver to change the character of a drive Juke as they chose. There is a Sport mode, Eco or Normal. The three options are based on setting the machine settings, shift the transmission and climate control.
And indeed it is. Our key person who tinkers to know where the differences. Eco makes driving Juke be tender, but paid for by the efficiency of fuel which is reassuring. While the Sport mode makes it more reactive towards stamping on the accelerator pedal.
Overall, the Juke is able to present options compact SUV with different flavors. Not only is the view of the reliable, but pengendaraannya was considered quite different from other compact SUVs. Juke nice ride, reliable bulldoze holes, fuel efficient and most important, all done with a full smile Juke.
