2011 Nissan JUKE Best Peformance and High GPS System

In 2011 Nissan JUKE. Small, with a big bite, it lays claim to an all-new breed: the Turbocharged Sport Cross. The intentions are clear. Ride high, stand out, and move quickly. The turbocharged engine delivers serious boost when you need it and sips fuel when you don’t, while an innovative All-Wheel Drive system turns power into grip. Everything you thought a vehicle was just got turned on its head. JUKE. It’s a whole new way to move through the world. And you’re invited.

The 2011 Nissan Juke packs a few surprises. A small 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is standard, but thanks to turbocharging and direct injection it cranks out 188 horsepower, more than the normally aspirated 2.5-liter engine in the Nissan Rogue. Connected to a manual transmission or an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT), the four-cylinder turbo makes the Juke one of the quickest small cars around while still being pretty frugal with gas. 2011 Nissan Juke is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-4 engine that sends 188 hp and 177 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels. A CVT is standard on the S trim. The SV and SL offer a choice of either a six-speed manual or the CVT.

2011 Nissan Juke Engine Simultaneously, we've come to respect Nissan's take on the genre, as its XTronic family of CVTs tends to behave more like traditional torque-converter automatics (at least in later variations), with the included six driver-selectable 'speeds' furthering the illusion. As we've seen in the past with the Murano and Maxima, it's possible to deliver a sportier-than-average driving experience in a CVT-equipped vehicle, and that's exactly the case here. There's good power on tap at all times, and calling for 'shifts' via the manual gearlever detent results in swift action. Use of the CVT also enables front-wheel drive models to return 27 miles per gallon in the city and 32 on the highway. While Nissan didn't offer any acceleration times, we suspect the Juke will hit 60 miles per hour in the low seven-second range.

The 2011 Nissan Juke interior with the same sporty and spunky spirit as its sheetmetal, as porting over the Versa's sober interior would've been a disappointment. On the contrary, the cabin is a lively place, beginning with the bulbous painted transmission tunnel that's available in either silver or red. Said to be inspired by the gas tank on a motorcycle, we just think it's cool and appreciate that the gearshift is located high and within easy reach. Also welcoming are the easy-to-read analog gauges, small-diameter three-spoke wheel swiped from the 370Z and surprisingly supportive cloth seats (leather is standard on the range-topping SL), though the gray fabric on our tester seemed like a dirt magnet.

The New 2011 Nissan Juke Designers embodied pure adrenaline, taking a cue from the flowing streamlined fuselage of sport bikes to craft the sleek appearance of the unique center console. Torque vectoring All-Wheel Drive agility and handling meets Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) turbocharged performance. The Integrated Control (I-CON) system provides the driver with a unique connection to their ride.
