Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
used nissan juke dealer seattle tacoma bellevue washingtonA few weeks ago, we shared news about 2020 Nissan Juke spy images floating around the internet in full camo. But, now, thanks to the folks at Kolesa.ru, professional renderings of the compact crossover have been released. You can view them here.

One quick glance at the next-gen Juke and it’s clear that Nissan has taken an evolutionary approach, rather than revolutionary. The vehicle’s quirky exterior is still a focal point; however, some of the front- and back-end lines have been refined for a softer, less bulging appearance. The fascia also features a stacked three-row LED lighting configuration, along with a larger radiator grille.

Since this next-gen Juke is slated for release within the European market, automotive journalists are expecting that Renault Nissan’s 
1.5-liter dCi engine will be popular with consumers, followed by a compact hybrid powertrain. The model will also be based on the CMF-B platform, which also underpins other models from the Alliance, including the Nissan Qashqai and X-Trail and the Renault Kadjar and Koleos.

As mentioned, there are no plans to re-release the 2020 Nissan Juke to the North American market since it was removed from the line-up and replaced with the new Kicks. However, if you want to add some of the Juke’s eccentricity to your life, our dealership does carry a range of 
preowned models.

To learn more, contact Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, to schedule a test drive.

used nissan juke dealer in seattle tacoma kent renton washingtonWhile the Nissan Juke is now defunct in North America, it remains a crowd-favorite in other parts of the world. Motor1.com recently shared new spy images of the 2020 model in southern Europe and the second-generation model has garnered a lot of interest due to some notable enhancements.

Sporting what appears to be orange side skirts and slim upper headlights, the 2020 Juke also has a revised side profile with mirrors that have been relocated to a lower position on the door panels from the base of the A-pillars. The wheelbase also looks to be slightly longer than in past generations. Around the back, the crossover’s horizontal taillights are redesigned from the boomerang-styled rear clusters of the outgoing Juke, while the width of the taillight seems to be broadened. There also appears to be a roof-mounted spoiler added to the vehicle, which Motor1.com assumes is an aerodynamic feature.

Does this latest spy spotting of the European Juke make you wistful for a model of your own? While production has ceased in Seattle, there remains a strong market for preowned versions offering crossover shoppers a great deal of choice. To see which used Juke models are currently in our inventory, contact Kirkland Nissan near Issaquah, Washington, to book a test drive today.

2019 nissan kicks for sale in seattle tacoma bellevue washingtonAccording to a recent article from AutoBlog, Nissan will be at the 2019 Tokyo Auto Salon with its second Juke snowmobile conversion – and let us tell you, it’s a sight to behold for winter lovers! Based on a regular-production Juke, which is no longer sold in the U.S. in favor of the new Kicks, the Juke Personalization Adventure concept rides on four tank-like tracks, connecting drivers to on-snow fun.
 
When engineering this concept car, Nissan designed the Juke with wider fenders by tacking plastic flares onto the wheel arches, which not only looks aggressive, but they keep the tracks neatly tucked under the body. Technical specs haven’t been released yet, but AutoBlog expects that it will run on the Juke’s stock engine and transmission with all-wheel drive. 
 
On the exterior, the Juke Personalization Adventure looks rough and rugged with a two-tone white-and-black paint job, along with green accents on the bumpers, tracks, mirrors and tow hooks. Metal cages protect the headlights, while a roof rack provides extra space to carry anything that might be needed for a day in the snow.
 
The 2019 Tokyo Auto Salon runs from January 11th to 13th. For more details about the show and the vehicles on display, please visit their website.

new nissan juke for sale seattle bellevue washingtonWhen Nissan announced the discontinuation of the Juke, Washington drivers wrung their hands in disbelief - not wanting to lose this quirky crossover, unwilling to admit a sales defeat. This was the ride of choice for trendy urbanites, and it seemed like such a… waste to take it from the market.

Nissan seems to agree.

According to Jalopnik, a Juke revival may be planned. Nissan is currently working on developing a 2020 model for its UK line-up - one that will pair a robust turbocharged four-cylinder with a crisp six-speed manual gearbox. The chassis will be tweaked, with sculpted fenders delivering a sportier profile and color-blocking techniques used to emphasize the chiseled hood, angular roof, and sharp character lines. No official specs have yet been released but critics believe that this platform will push the performance boundaries, with more than 215 HP expected.

What does this mean for Federal Way? Jalopnik speculates that Nissan may bring the new Juke across the pond (if it proves popular in the UK). This would inject some much-needed style into the crossover market, and we have our fingers crossed for this ride’s return.

What do you think, Washington? Is it time for a new Juke? Share your opinions with our team!
2018 nissan kicks for sale in seattle washingtonAccording to an article by Autocar, a UK-based online publication, an all-new Nissan Juke is on the horizon with an unveiling set before the end of the year. In an interview with Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan’s Global Head of Design, the next-gen crossover "is certainly coming soon", leading the publication to speculate that a global debut could take place at the Paris Motor Show in October.
 
In North America, the Juke was recently replaced with the all-new Kicks after sales of the vehicle started to wane. The Juke’s looks were extremely polarizing – it had a loyal following of drivers who loved its unique lines and body composition, but there was also a large cohort of automotive enthusiasts that couldn’t get behind the Juke.
 
As for the 2019 variant, Albaisa was quoted as saying that the second-generation Juke won’t resemble the last one. “It doesn’t look like the IMx or new Leaf, either. It's an urban meteor with a nasty attitude.”
 
Speculators are suggesting that the new Juke will be based on the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance's 'V' platform, which already supports the Renault Captur and Nissan Micra. According to the article, the crossover is expected to eschew the naturally aspirated petrol engines that have accounted for much of its sales volume so far. Instead, the upcoming Juke will use the 898cc three-cylinder and 1197cc four-cylinder turbo motors found in the current Micra and Qashqai. 
 
No word yet if the 2019 Juke will be released into the North American market. In the meantime, the 2018 Nissan Kicks remains a solid option for drivers wanting equal doses of style and performance. To schedule your test drive in one, contact our dealership in Seattle, Washington.
The assembly lines are slowing - with Nissan readying both its production teams and its customers for the end of the Juke. Soon this crossover will roll into history, transitioning from the dealerships to the automotive archives. Its time has (almost) come.

Before the Juke takes that long drive into obscurity, however, Nissan intends to provide drivers with one final crossover celebration - delivering a 2018 model this spring.



As Car Scoops explains, the 2018 Juke has just made its Geneva debut (with the International Auto Show proving a perfect showcase for the second-generation speedster). This platform has been refreshed for the new year, delivering a suite of fascia upgrades and interior enhancements. Expect sleek style from every angle.

Exterior

Dark chrome defines the Juke, with its V-Motion grille anchored by glossy metallic trims. Painted inserts (available in black and white) highlight the five-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels, while the recessed headlamp bezels showcase the rounded fender lines. LED fog lights bring an electric punch to the front, and bright-polished side sills complement the long body. Two shades - Vivid Blue and Chestnut Bronze - have also been added to the current color line-up.

Interior

Slip into something striking. The 2018 Juke features supple leather seating and high-gloss black trims. Custom stitching (available in Electric Orange and Power Blue) offers a rally style, while the white-on-black display console proves striking. LED digital tachometers add a further burst of color, drawing the eyes to the newly revised NissanConnect infotainment system and its DRL ports.

The 2018 Juke will prove a chic option for drivers. To learn more about this crossover (including its anticipated production schedule) contact our team today!
2017 nissan juke for sale in seattle waIf you are a Nissan Juke fan, you likely know by now that a second-generation rendition of the vehicle will not be a reality. After seven years in the market, the funky four-wheel-drive subcompact crossover is being replaced by the all-new Nissan Kicks.
 
The Juke entered the North American market in 2010 with mixed reviews. While some automotive enthusiasts loved the exterior design of the vehicle, others felt it couldn’t carry a stylistic tune. It did, however, offer performance fanatics cranked up muscle with its 215-horsepower 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder engine in 2014, along with NISMO badging for extra street cred.
 
Alas, it wasn’t enough for the Juke to gain a second-gen. According to Good Car Bad Car, the Juke only sold 19,577 models in 2016, down from its peak of 38,184 units sold in 2014. Sometimes good things must come to an end – and, for the Juke, the end is here.
 
However, positive news remains! At Kirkland Nissan, we offer a wide selection of preowned Juke vehicles in a range of model years and price points – some as low as $12,500. Or, if you’d prefer an all-new subcompact crossover, 2018 Nissan Kicks are expected to go on sale this coming summer. Pricing starts near the $19,000 mark and promises to offer expressive styling, personal technology, smart functionality and advanced safety features. It’s a solid replacement – that’s for sure.
 
To learn more about getting your hands on a preowned Juke, contact our dealership in Seattle, Washington to schedule a test drive. You can also browse our online inventory, which shows our current in-stock models.
