Compact crossovers don’t get much better—or cuter—than the fun-to-drive and fun-look-at 2016 Nissan Juke S. This is a machine that is well worth your time thanks to its peppy engine and its dedication to providing superior passenger safety.
When you get behind the wheel of this one and push the pedal down, you’re going to experience immediate responsiveness. It shoots off down the streets of Kirkland and Seattle with aplomb thanks to a 1.6L four-cylinder engine that produces and inspiring 188 horses and 177-lb.-ft. of torque. Naturally, this means you’re in for a heck of a good time as you rumble down the streets. And because there’s a payload capacity of 1,021 pounds, you don’t have to be shy about packing up gear before heading out, either.
The 2016 Nissan Juke S is chock-full of safety-based inclusions. There’s a backup camera that helps you avoid collisions as you go in reverse, as well as projector halogen headlights that and LED signature accent lights that increase visibility. Also, the exterior side-view mirrors are powered, letting you quickly account for blind spots.
