Forget all the boring, cookie-cutter crossovers out there today. Nissan’s Juke has always had its own unique style, and now the 2016 S variant dials in on also delivering spirited performance and a menagerie of slick exterior features. If you add this one to your garage, we have a hunch you’re going to positively adore it.
When you press down the pedal in this machine, you’re going to feel immediate pick up that will have you feeling just as capable on a highway on-ramp as you typically are on a sleepy suburban side-street. That’s because the 1.6L four-cylinder motor is turbocharged, resulting in a delightful output of 188 horses and 177-lb.-ft. of torque. Payload capacity sits at 1,021 pounds, too.
The 2016 Nissan Juke S has a thoughtfully crafted exterior. A rearview camera makes backing up out of a driveway or parking spot far less of an adventure (in a good way). The headlamps are projector halogen models that sport dazzling LED signature accent lights for extra visibility at night. Additionally, the side-view mirrors are powered, enabling easy adjustments on-the-fly in order to mitigate blind spots.
