Never judge a book by its cover. That may be the case with the 2012 Nissan Juke SL. While it may not look like an interesting ride from the outside, it’s a firecracker once you hop inside. This responsive, four-door hatchback boasts sport-tuned suspension and all-wheel drive to give potential buyers a pleasant experience on the road.
Under the hood rests a 1.6-liter inline-4 engine that produces 188 hp and 177 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy is adequate at 29 mpg combined (27 city/32 highway). Folding the back seat down expands the cargo capacity to 36 cubic feet, which is perfect for luggage or a weekend shopping spree.
The top-of-the-line SL trim level features 17-inch alloy wheels and heated leather front seats. A rearview camera helps with parallel parking and backing out of the garage without bumping into anything. According to Edmunds, the navigation system is equipped with real-time traffic updates so that you can avoid rush hour. Automatic climate control enables all occupants to stay a comfortable temperature.
